How the composition of breast milk changes - photo

Yes, we again return to this eternal dispute. You can tell each other until hoarseness that it is not wise to breastfeed a child for more than six months. You can generally argue that the mixture meets the needs of the baby even better than the mother's milk. But here's another argument in the box for supporters of natural feeding. Mallory Smothers is the mother of a charming baby named Ellie. And yes, she feeds the baby girl. You will not believe it, but this process is even Mallory's feat of reading scientific research. And that's why.Photo: @mallory.cunningham One evening, Mallory, as usual, expressed the milk before going to bed. "Ellie wakes up at night for supplementation every two hours. Therefore, the next time I decant only in the morning, when we are finally awake, "- says mom. This night was the same as usual. With one exception: at three o'clock Mallory noticed that Ellie had sniffed, raschalas and raskapriznichalas. In the morning the woman again expressed the milk, put the bag in the refrigerator next to the evening, and then noticed something strange. Evening milk looked quite different: the morning was more yellow and thick - like colostrum, which is usually produced only in the first days of a child's life. Here Mallory and climbed in for articles on milk.Photo: @mallory.cunninghamA young mother has discovered that milk is more than just calories. It turns out that it can adapt to the needs of the child even after he or she is six months old. Does the baby have a cold? Milk will provide him or her with natural "antibiotics"! As her family doctor later explained to her, the baby's saliva, when it gets on the mother's nipples during feeding, causes the composition of the milk to change. The mother's body analyzes the baby's health based on his or her saliva. Cool, right? And if the baby has a cold, the mother's body begins to produce more white blood cells to help the baby cope with the disease. All of this has been confirmed by a considerable number of clinical and immunological studies. But for Mallory, it was news. "The capabilities of the human body never cease to amaze me," Mallory wrote under a photo with two bags of milk. And she was not the only one amazed by such metamorphoses: the photo was reposted almost 80 thousand times. In the comments, there were specialists who confirmed that milk is really capable of providing a child with everything necessary. Including supporting the immune system. And up to six months, the antibodies contained in breast milk protect the baby from infectious diseases. If, of course, the mother has been vaccinated. So it’s hard to disagree with Mallory. Aren’t we, mothers, a miracle? Read on:
