➕ from .with.emmy.and.wrenly Women are amazing. This is a Pulitzer Prize winner. A journalist caught sight of a indigenous woman breastfeeding a wild baby boar whose mother was killed by poachers and left with out a mother and milk. There is nothing like a woman. I’ve seen articles of a police officer breastfeeding a infant in need, a flight attendant breastfeeding a baby when the mother on the flight ran out of formula, and now a woman breastfeeding another mammal. Some people commented on the original post asking why didn’t she give the boar a bottle or formula (which by the way is milk from a different mammal as well) but I guarantee you this mother has never seen either of them. This woman saw a baby in need and her motherly instincts just kicked in. That’s one of the many things that make women so amazing. They are willing to help other babies of all kinds when they are in need. Women have been gifted with a nurturing spirit. Women=Life.

The Natural Age of Weaning Mothers today are bombarded with all kinds of conflicting advice on how long they should breastfeed. Some are told it’s “gross” or “weird” to nurse beyond six or 12 months. Some consider nursing a 2 or 3-year-old to be “extended” breastfeeding. The World Heath Organization recommendation is “up to t...

For every child, breastfeeding What if governments had a proven, cost-effective way to save babies’ lives, reduce rates of malnutrition, support children’s health, increase educational attainment and grow productivity? They do: breastfeeding.

International BreastFeeding Centre | Why are breastmilk and formula not the same? Breastmilk and formula have different biochemistry and cannot be considered to be even similar, let alone the same. The act of breastfeeding is different from bottle feeding just as a bottle is not the same as a breast.

𝐁𝐀𝐁𝐘 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐓:
“When babies are picked up and carried, their heart rate slows and they automatically and deeply relax."

Most of us already know that babies love to be held and carried, and will often cry when they are put down. This fact is obvious for most parents, but the reason as to why is something that scientists are just beginning to understand.

Research has shown that babies deeply relax when they are carried and there is a physiological reason.

It is an evolutionary instinct that causes crying babies to calm down when they are picked up and carried in their mothers arms (although it does work with other caregivers as well). Their heart rate slows down and they become “deeply” relaxed as a result of a coordinated set of nervous, motor and cardiac regulations.

It is believed that this calming response is a survival trait seen in many mammals (including lions and squirrels) that reduces the “maternal burden of carrying”, making it more pleasurable to carry their babies and creates a benefit for both the mother and the infant.

Humans (as well as many other mammals) are a carrying species and our babies are born with this innate desire and predictable positive response.

You cannot spoil a newborn by holding and carrying them too much! Pick them up, wear them, cuddle them. Nature intended this for you and for them. We were designed this way for a reason. ❤❤❤
