The first week of August is Breast-feeding Week . Breast milk is the source for perfect nutrition for an infant .
Breast milk has a balance of carbohydrates , protein , fat , water and nutrients to help a baby grow and thrive . If you are not breast-feeding , you can still support a breast-feeding mother you know with these tips .
1 . Stay hydrated . Nursing mothers should consume about 12 to 15 cups of fluids a day . This includes fluids from food and drink . Drink a large glass of water while you are feeding , to stay hydrated . In very hot conditions , the baby's diet may need to be supplemented with water .
2 . It is best to advoid alcohol when breast-feeding .
3. Although studies have shown that small amounts of caffeine , about 300 milligrams , is not enough to likely cause adverse affects in breast-feeding women , some women still find that their sensitively to caffeine is heightened during pregnancy and breast-feeding times.
3 . Babies are unlikely to develop a food allergy from breast-feeding ; however , some foods may not necessarily agree with your baby . Spice foods , or cabbage or broccoli may cause fussiness in some babies .
WORDS of WISDOM :
An optimist is one who takes a frying pan on a fishing trip .
If tou want someone to laugh at your jokes , tell them they have a good sense of humor .
It is a proven fact that if you can't take a joke , you will have to take medicine .
A merry heart does good like a medicine , so when you laugh , it does your heart good . That is why humor is good just for the health of it .
