CHENNAI: Breastfeeding is a natural and essential part of motherhood, offering numerous benefits for both mother and child. Many mothers face challenges such as difficulty in latching, low milk supply, or sore nipples, especially in the early days. The body is remarkably resilient and can produce high-quality milk as long as the mother consumes an additional 500 calories and 25 grams of extra protein daily. Maintaining a balanced diet and staying hydrated helps mothers feel their best and supports milk production. Additionally, the types of foods and spices a mother consumes can influence the taste and smell of her breast milk, exposing breastfed babies to a wider variety of tastes and smells compared to formula-fed babies.
