Breastfeeding provides much more than just nutrition.
Toddlers really enjoy nursing — they don’t nurse for milk alone.
Breastfeeding soothes your child.
It comforts him when he is tired, sick or hurt.
Nursing is your baby’s way of touching base with you as he busily explores his world.
Parents often worry that their child will become clingy and dependent if they are nursed for an extended period of time.
Providing your little one with this loving and secure base actually helps him to become independent.
The health benefits of breastfeeding do extend throughout the entire time you nurse.
A longer duration of breastfeeding has been found to be directly associated with not only fewer infant illnesses, but subsequently, fewer toddler illnesses
Mothers also benefit from extended nursing.
You continue to benefit from the hormones of breastfeeding.
The “mothering hormone,” prolactin, relaxes you, while oxytocin stimulates loving , nurturing behavior.
As mothers of nursing toddlers know, this can be very important to your mental health and well-being.
Life with a toddler is not always easy! You also benefit from the intimacy that nursing provides. Taking time out of a busy day to cuddle is as important to moms as it is to their babies.
Extended nursing may delay the return of fertility by continuing to suppress ovulation in some women.
Breastfeeding also provides protection against these diseases
:
ovarian cancer (Schneider AP, NE J Med, 1987)
uterine cancer (Brock KE, Med J Australia, 1989)
endometrial cancer (Petterson B et al, Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand, 1986)
osteoporosis (Blaauw R et al, SAMJ 1994).
Breastfeeding also has been shown to decrease insulin requirements in diabetic women (Davies HA, British Med J, 1989).
It is very helpful for moms who nurse past one year of age to surround themselves with a good support system. If your friends and family are not comfortable with extended nursing, you may find great support in the company of other nursing mothers
saya sokong extended breastfeeding
There is no evidence of any psychological or nutritional harm to children who are nursed as toddlers. provided the relationship between mom and child is warm and loving. When to wean is a decision that needs to be made between the mom and the baby.
Most likely the nursing is not a significant contributor to his diet, but is rather more of an emotional and psychological one
Cabaran menyusukan anak….pelbagai cabaran untuk pelbagai peringkat usia….
Kalau anda ingin meneruskan penyusuan susu ibu untuk anak yang sudah lebih daripada 2 tahun…BOLEh…tetapi suami isteri hendaklah menyetujuinya..
manalah tau kan..kang ada yang ‘makan hati berulam jantung’ pula!
Jika sudah boleh susukan anak sekian lama…lebih 2 tahun…usah berbicaralah tentang susu tak banyak/tak cukup..kalau tak cukup dan anak komplen…stop saja breastfeed…(kejam!)
mode:susu mencukupi….
cabarannnya pada pengalaman saya hanyalah manusia sekitar sahaja….
1. banyak dakyah palsu- susukan anak yang dah 2 tahun melembapkan akal anak-SALAH!!!!!lagi bernas adalaaa
2. susukan anak lebih 2 tahun makruh-SALAH…harus selagi tidak memudaratkan.
3. tak baik untuk kesihatan-SALAH..saya dah consult pakar!memang la takleh susuibu semata-mata..kenalah bagi makan macam manusia biasa
4. Susukan anak nanti tak mengandung…-SIAPA KATA?????LAM valid 6 bulan pertama kelahiran sahaja
5. Dalam Al-Quran kata sampai 2 tahun –Dua tahun bagi menyempurnakan….tapi tak kata haram atau salah kalau susukan lebih daripada 2 tahun…Nak tanya balik boleh???…Dah dalam Al-Quran kata 2 tahun kenapa yang 2 tahun tu tak buat?????
semuanya berkisarkan manusia sekeliling sahaja…ada banyak lagi tak larat nak taip
Apa yang kita perlu ada..
ILMU..ketabahan….kesabaran..semangat….istiqamah..wasatiah…
happy breastfeeding…..
