Patient's question:

When I was 32 weeks pregnant, I went to the hospital because of skin itching. The doctor said I had intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. At that time, the doctor said that this condition was dangerous for the fetus. Then he told me it was best to breastfeed. I want to know what are the benefits of breastfeeding?

Doctor's answer:

Breast milk. Especially colostrum. It contains over 300 active substances. Unmatched by any formula milk on the market. Breast milk is rich in nutrients. Benefiting the healthy growth of infants. When an infant licks the mother's breast. It first comes into contact with aerobic bacteria on the nipple. Then it comes into contact with anaerobic bacteria in the milk ducts. This process is very important for promoting the maturation of the child's immune system.
