Breastfeeding the baby as soon as possible is not only conducive to the contraction of the uterus of the new mother itself, speeding up postpartum recovery, but also can provide the baby with adequate nutrition and immunity.
The mother’s colostrum contains the antibodies needed by the baby to protect the baby from bacteria. Early feeding can also make the new mother’s brain signal to increase milk secretion, form nerve reflex, and make later breastfeeding more smoothly.
