This scene is played in a tram. The picture may not be the clearest, but you can see this caring mother breastfeeding her baby.
10 interesting things about breastfeeding your baby:
Breast milk production consumes 25 percent of the body's energy. By comparison, the brain consumes only 20 percent of its energy.
Breast milk helps women lose weight, or return to weight before pregnancy. By producing breast milk, the body consumes about 600 to 1,000 calories each day.
The milk composition changes as the baby grows. Initially, it is bluish in color and watery in texture, and at the end of breastfeeding, it also thickens a lot of fat, ie the calories needed to grow and develop a strong baby.
Everyone would get bored of eating the same food day after day. But breast milk does not always taste the same. He changes depending on what his mother ate. This way, the baby also prepares for the flavors of solid foods that he will soon start eating.
Milk does not come out through only one hole. Each nipple has several miniature openings that drain milk, and the number varies from woman to woman.
The baby empties about 65 percent of the milk in the breast per meal because it eats to satiety, not until it sucks out all the milk.
That breasts are not the same size is a well-known fact. But did you know that about 75 percent of women produce more milk in the right breast, which is considered to be more dominant? This information is irrelevant to whether the woman is right-handed or left-handed.
Breast milk contains the sleep hormone - melatonin, which lulls the baby. One study found that three-month-old babies who were breastfed exclusively with their mother's milk slept 45 minutes longer than other babies.
Breast milk is as unique as a fingerprint - there are no two samples. The appearance, quality and taste of her milk depend on the mother and her diet.
Even cheese can be made from breast milk. New York chef Richard Adams made cheese from his wife's milk and served it at his restaurant. He said it had a subtle taste with sweet notes and had a soft consistency like a panna cotta.
