The World Breastfeeding Week is an opportunity to reflect on the importance of this natural and wonderful act. On this occasion, we want to highlight the relevance of breastfeeding in the context of fertility and how it can strengthen the bond between mother and child after fertility treatment.
After a long journey to motherhood...
After going through fertility treatment, such as in vitro fertilization or artificial insemination, many women experience a mix of emotions when they finally hold their baby in their arms. Breastfeeding becomes a precious moment to strengthen the bond between mother and child, providing a unique connection that transcends the obstacles overcome during the fertility process.
Optimal nutrition for the baby...
Breast milk is the ideal food for newborns. After fertility treatment, breastfeeding becomes an opportunity to provide the baby with optimal nutrition. Breast milk contains all the essential nutrients, antibodies, and growth factors that help strengthen the baby's immune system and overall development.
Strengthening the mother-child bond...
Breastfeeding is an intimate and special experience that promotes a strong emotional bond between mother and child. Skin-to-skin contact, smell, and closeness during breastfeeding create an environment of security and calm for the baby. After fertility treatment, breastfeeding can be even more meaningful as it represents the fruit of the desire and effort to conceive.
Overcoming challenges...
It is essential to recognize that some women may face additional challenges when breastfeeding after fertility treatment. Some may experience a decrease in milk production due to hormonal changes or the use of fertility medications. However, there are solutions and support available. Lactation consultants and healthcare professionals can provide personalized guidance and techniques to overcome these challenges, ensuring successful breastfeeding.
