We all are well aware of the various benefits of breastfeeding. But breastfeeding right after childbirth has its special benefits.
The breastmilk that comes right after childbirth is known as colostrum which is extremely rich in antibodies and nutrients that help the growth and development of the baby. Colostrum protects the baby from several infections, and supports healthy weight gain and the overall growth of the baby.
The skin-to-skin contact during breastfeeding helps the mother bond with the baby.
The hormones (oxytocin) released while breastfeeding helps to shrink the uterus back to its original size.
