Breastfeeding myths
Breastfeeding is a beautiful journey post baby delivery, but it's often clouded by myths.
Let's break some of the myths 👇🏻
1️⃣ Myth: Breastfeeding is easy.
Fact: Breastfeeding takes time and practice for both mothers and babies. Many mothers need practical support with positioning their baby for breastfeeding and making sure their baby is correctly attached to the breast.
2️⃣ Myth: You should only eat plain food while breastfeeding.
Fact: Breastfeeding moms need a balanced diet just like everyone else. If you think certain foods are affecting your baby, it's best to talk to your doctor.
3️⃣ Myth: Exercise will affect the taste of your milk.
Fact: Exercise is healthy, also for breastfeeding mothers. There is no evidence that it affects the taste of your milk.
4️⃣ Myth: You shouldn't breastfeed if you’re sick.
Fact: Depending on the kind of illness, mothers can usually continue breastfeeding when they’re sick. You need to make sure you get the right treatment, and to rest, eat and drink well. In many cases, the antibodies your body makes to treat your disease or illness will pass on to your baby, building their own defences.
5️⃣ Myth: You can’t take any medication if you’re breastfeeding.
Fact: Many medications are safe to take while breastfeeding. Tell your doctor you're breastfeeding and check the instructions on any over-the-counter medicines. You might need to take the medicine at a certain time or in a specific dose, or you might need a different type of medicine. Always inform your doctor about the medicines you are taking.
6️⃣ Myth: You can't breastfeed if you have diabetes.
Fact: Women with diabetes can breastfeed. It's important to manage blood sugar levels and consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
