Is pumped milk as nutritious as direct breastfeeding for your baby?
India TodayTimes have certainly evolved when it comes to raising children. Direct breastfeeding makes it easier for the milk to adapt to the baby's needs, as several hormones are released during the process and this helps enhance the milk's nutrients and immune properties in real time. Bottled breast milk, or pumped milk, retains all the important nutrients, fats, and immune factors and can be a good substitute where breastfeeding isn't possible. However, pumped milk is a viable alternative that offers flexibility and allows others to help feed the baby, which can be especially beneficial for working mothers or mothers with specific medical conditions. Dr Apurva Gupta notes that in India, there is a cultural taboo around pumped milk, but it's important to educate people about the benefits of both breastfeeding and pumping.
