4. Babies 0-12 months Breastfeeding Why breastfeed? It’s never too early to start thinking about how you’re going to feed your baby. Today, most women in England are choosing to breastfeed. • Breast milk is the only natural food designed for your baby. • Breastfeeding protects your baby from infections and diseases. • Breast milk provides health benefits for your baby. • Breastfeeding provides health benefits for mum. • It’s free. • It’s available whenever and wherever your baby needs a feed. • It’s the right temperature. • It can build a strong physical and emotional bond between mother and baby. • It can give you a great sense of achievement. Breastfeeding is recognised internationally as the best food for babies. The longer the duration of breastfeeding, the greater the health benefits to both mother and baby. There is evidence for both the short and long term health benefits of breastfeeding and exclusive breast feeding is recommended until six months of age 16 . Common misconceptions Many myths and stories about breastfeeding have been passed down through family and friends, but some are inaccurate or out-of-date. See how many you’ve heard, and separate fact from fiction: Myth 1: “It’s not that popular, only a few women do it in this country” Fact: 78% of women in England start breastfeeding. Myth 2: “Breastfeeding will make my breasts saggy” Fact: Breastfeeding doesn’t cause your breasts to sag, but the ageing process and losing or putting on weight can all have an effect. Myth 3: “Infant formula is basically the same as breast milk” Fact: Infant formula isn’t the same as breast milk. It’s not a living product so it doesn’t have the antibodies, living cells, enzymes or hormones that protect your baby from infections and diseases later in life. Myth 4: “People don’t like women breastfeeding in public” Fact: Surveys actually show that the majority of people don’t mind women breastfeeding in public at all. The more it’s done, the more normal it will become. Myth 5: “Breastfeeding is easy for some women, but some don’t produce enough milk” Fact: Almost all women are physically able to breastfeed. It’s a skill that every woman needs to learn and practise before it becomes easy. It happens more quickly for some women than others, but nearly all women can produce the amount of milk their baby needs. Myth 6: “If I breastfeed I can’t have a sex life” Fact: After you’ve had your baby you’ll decide when it’s time to have sex with your partner. The same hormone that helps to release your milk for the baby (oxytocin) is also made when you have sex. When having sex you may leak a little breast milk. This is normal. 31
