Greetings and best wishes to all the mothers in this world. Breast feeding is the best gift of nature that all mammalians have in this planet. Mother’s milk is everything for a newborn baby. Breast milk gives calories , water required , digestive enzymes , antibodies and immunoglobulin to fight against germs. Less amount of milk secretion in first few days of birth is a common hurdle faced by all mothers. Mothers please know that you are not alone, this is normal for all of you.  Milk secretion will gradually increase over a weeks time. All that you have to do is be relaxed and confident. Take adequate meal in right time. Please finish your meal before you start feeding your baby this will help is good secretion of milk. The most effective stimuli  for your secretion is the suck of the baby. So please be patient and keep putting your baby on to the breast and help him/her suck. Some babies are also immature to get anadequate sucking reflex so we have to stimulate them and facilitate sucking. So two important points to be remembered for getting adequate milk are good nutrition for the mother and frequent sucking of the baby on a relaxed mother. So it is  important for the family members to know that they have to give stress free environment and adequate nutrition to mother. Mother should feed the colostrum- a yellowish milk secreted in first 3 – 4 days. The colostrum is rich in Fat and immunoglobulin so baby will get adequate energy and immune protection during the first few days. Mother gets mature milk at the end of 1 week which  has fore milk and hind milk, so while feeding , one side of the breast should be fully emptied before the mother transfers the baby to otherside to continue if baby still needs to suck. How can you know there is adequate milk for the baby…..there are 5 points 
1)One side of the breast dribbles milk while the baby is feeding on the other side
2)Your breast feels heavy if you have not feed the baby for 3 hrs
3) Baby will sleep comfortably for 3-4 hrs after each feed
4)Baby will pass 6-10 pale urine in a day
5)Baby will have adequate weight gain
Mothers can breast feed the baby while they have fever or common cold
Mothers can take all food of their choice, there is no restriction but don’t consume anything too much
Mothers had to take balanced food with adequate carbohydrate, protein , fat and fiber content
Protein rich foods like meat , peanuts , pulses and ragi generally  increases milk production
Too much garlic consumption can irritate baby’s bowel and cause diarrhea
In case of twin pregnancy the mother will get adequate milk for both babies , mother needs more support from family to nurse both the babies 
Breast feeding should be continued while baby is having diarrhea
Breast feeding can be given soon after any vaccination  like polio / rotavirus
Expressed milk can be stored in room temperature for 4-6 hrs and in refrigerator for 24 hrs. don’t boil the breast milk, it can be thawed before feeding.
Never use bottle for feeding, use spoon or palladia 
Continue breast feeding till 2 years of age, long you feed the baby more is the health benefits for the mother and baby
Breastfeed babies have less risk of allergy, asthma, diabetes and has improved IQ   
Mothers will have reduced risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer

Thank you everyone for your patient listing and my best wishes for happy parenting.
