So.... BF in motherhood term means breastfeed. And yes, I only knew that recently. Hehehehehehhe.
For those who doesn't know, let me do some enlightenment :D
You know how people are very health conscious nowadays. Going towards environmentally-friendly society. Recycling, energy saving bulbs, hybrid cars, Earth Hour, and so forth.
Even with baby products (again, i only knew this) there's a range of products which are chemical-free, toxic-free, made of natural resources. There's cloth diaper (CD) with is basically a technologically-advanced version of lampin-putih-yg-masam-zaman-kite-kecik2-dulu. This definitely reduces non-biodegradable waste of the normal disposable diapers.
Anyways.....
The main point of this entry is on exclusive breastfeeding. Another step of my generation towards all-natural way of living. Most hospitals promotes exclusive BF for new moms. They even have guidebook on how to continue exclusive BF if mommies need to go back to work after maternity leave. This includes products on express milk storage.
Exclusive BF as recommended by
WHO and UNICEF:
- Initiation of breastfeeding within the first hour of life
- Exclusive breastfeeding – that is the infant only receives breastmilk without any additional food or drink, not even water
- Breastfeeding on demand – that is as often as the child wants, day and night
- No use of bottles, teats or pacifiers
One thing that many people doesn't know is that baby doesn't need anything else when breastfed except the mommies' milk, and when i said nothing else, that means NOTHING ELSE.
Not even air suam. Yes, no water, people!
Ossum possum! I never knew that!
