World Breastfeeding Week: Your baby must start breastmilk for one hour
The International Breastfeeding Action Alliance (WABA) has determined that the World Breastfeeding Week will be held on August 1-7 each year so that the entire society will actively encourage and support breastfeeding.
The World Health Organization and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) established the Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding in 2002 and proposed global public health recommendations to protect, promote and support breastfeeding.
When should Baby start breastfeeding?
It is recommended that infants should start breastfeeding within 1 hour after birth. No food or drink should be fed prior to this date; infants should be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months after birth; complementary foods should be added promptly after the infant is 6 months old and food supplements should be added. Based on continued breastfeeding until 2 years of age or older.
Why is breastfeeding so important?
Breast milk contains all the nutrients that babies need.
Breast milk can provide nutrients for children's growth and development at the same time. The whey protein contained in the breast milk is easy for infants to digest and absorb. It is the best natural food for babies. At the same time, growth factors, motilin, gastrin, lactose, bifidus factor, digestive enzymes, lactase, and lipase in breast-feeding can also promote the development of infant gastrointestinal tract and improve the absorption of breast-milk nutrients by infants. And use.
Breastfeeding can provide the earliest life immune substances.
Maternal body has IgG and milk specific SIgA, ferritin (inhibition of growth and reproduction of intestinal pathogens), lysozyme, white blood cells and phagocytic cells, lymphocytes and other immune substances, can enhance the baby's immune ability to prevent infection. Colostrum is even more important. Colostrum acts like a protective layer on the intestines of newborns, helping to establish beneficial bacteria in the infant's intestines. Colostrum has a laxative effect to help infants excrete fetal stools, helps prevent jaundice, and helps prevent infectious diseases that are common in newborns.
Promote the development of the early childhood nervous system.
Breast milk contains a lot of essential nutrients: such as minerals, vitamins, cholesterol, essential fatty acids (such as taurine, DHA), is conducive to the development of the baby's nervous system. During the feeding process, the benign nervous system stimulates the development of the central nervous system, forms a reflex arc, and promotes the baby's understanding of the external environment and adaptation. Breastfeeding can promote the development of baby's sense of smell, taste, temperature, hearing, vision, and touch.
Breastfeeding can increase emotions between mother and child.
Breastfeeding helps mothers and mothers to establish an intimate and loving relationship so that mothers can be satisfied. Immediate skin contact immediately after childbirth helps establish this relationship, a process known as "parent-child relationship." The process of breast-feeding is also a process of parent-child communication. This close relationship between the mother and child makes the mother more satisfied and the newborn more secure. Therefore, breast-fed babies cry less. Breastfeeding can also increase parents’ sense of social responsibility towards their children and is conducive to social harmony.
Breastfeeding can reduce allergic diseases and metabolic diseases after adulthood.
Research shows that the incidence of allergic diseases in breastfed children is much lower than that of artificially fed children. In addition, breastfeeding can reduce the incidence of obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and coronary heart disease in adulthood, and is beneficial to the prevention of metabolic diseases in adulthood.
Breastfeeding can promote the recovery of mother's health.
Breastfeeding promotes uterine contractions, reduces postpartum hemorrhage, and accelerates uterine recovery. The mothers who stayed up and stayed up all day and night did not resume ovulation within 6 months, and they played a role in fertility regulation. Breastfeeding can also reduce the incidence of breast cancer and ovarian cancer.
Breastfeeding is economical and convenient.
Breastfeeding reduces the cost and manpower of artificial feeding, reduces the medical expenses for infants and young children, and the resulting economic losses caused by parental loss.

For the newborn baby, the tasty food can not match the mother's drop of milk, because it can not only fill the little guy's stomach, but also has the functions of nutrition, medical care, and soothing. Under the current technical means, it can be analyzed that breast milk contains more than 200 kinds of ingredients, they perform their duties, managing children's intelligence, physical strength and other aspects of growth and development.
In fact, there are still many ingredients in breastmilk, which is still under consideration. There are many immune substances in breast milk. 0 to 6 months of children's breast milk basically do not have otitis media, pneumonia, cough, etc., because some anti-immune and anti-infective substances exist. Similarly, the newly born baby is poorly digested, and there are many enzymes in breast milk that can help the child to effectively digest.
Another point is that the taste of breast milk has a one-to-one characteristic for infants. Each mother eats different foods and breast milk tastes differently. Mothers will give information on the taste of food to the baby, so once the complementary food is added after 6 months, breast-feeding children are particularly vulnerable to external food supplements. This will benefit future children’s healthy lifestyle, prevention of partial eclipse, picky eaters.
Some mothers felt that their milk was very concentrated when they first started breastmilk, and some were even thick yellow. However, after a few months, the milk became clear. They felt that they had no nutrition and stopped breastfeeding.
This is a misunderstanding, because 0 to 3 months of children grow very fast, and some children may grow up to two pounds in a month, they need high nutrition, so the first three months of milk energy density is high. After 3 months, the child's growth rate slows down, and the energy of breast milk also changes subtly to adapt to the child's growth rate, but it is not that the milk is clear and there is no nutrition. Breast milk looks very clear, but breast milk has a high fat content and has the saturated fatty acids the baby needs. (Integrated from China CDC website, Health Times)
After the collection of pathogenic bacteria specimens, the disposable sampling cotton Swab should be completely inserted into the preservation solution to maximize the retention of pathogenic bacteria.
The collected specimens must be fresh and sent for inspection in time to avoid the death of pathogenic bacteria.
It is forbidden to use products with damaged packaging and expired expiration dates to prevent contamination.
Flexible combination: the number and type of swabs and sampling tubes can be combined arbitrarily.
Wide range of uses: It can be used for the collection, transportation and storage of new coronavirus, respiratory virus, hand, foot and mouth virus and other specimens.
Excellent quality: It has been verified by many medical institutions that the virus can still be detected after being stored in the preservation solution for 7 days at room temperature.
Easy to distinguish: the inactivated and non-inactivated preservation solutions are pink, which can effectively avoid sample addition confusion.
