Breasts naturally prepare for breastfeeding throughout pregnancy. This preparation culminates at childbirth, when hormones send the signal to start milk production.
Breastfeeding, like giving birth, is totally natural. And just as it’s normal to have assistance during delivery, it’s normal to need help with breastfeeding, especially at the beginning.
Iron deficiency anemia is a fairly common problem among babies between the ages of 6 and 24 months. It must be treated as it can harm your baby’s health and development. To prevent anemia, make sure your child’s diet includes iron-rich foods at each meal.
