The baby is fed with breast milk from two people

The process of giving birth is very difficult. Giving birth does not mean that you can relax. You still need to breastfeed the baby and take care of the baby's eating, drinking, defecation, etc. Some women are prone to insufficient milk after the confinement period. Although breast milk is the best food for children, if breast milk is insufficient, the baby can only drink formula milk. However, some parents think whether it is possible to let the baby eat breast milk from two people at the same time?

Can a baby be fed with breast milk from two people at the same time?

Although breast milk is very nutritious, the smell and taste of breast milk will be different because everyone's physical condition is different. It is best not to give your baby someone else's breast milk, as it may spread infectious diseases.

Can I eat breast milk of different ages?

The composition of breast milk will change according to the needs of the baby. Babies of different months of age can consume breast milk, and the differences are not significant and can be ignored. Breastfed babies usually eat smaller amounts than formula-fed babies, but they feed more often. This is not a sign of insufficient breast milk. It is a normal phenomenon in breastfeeding, so mothers who breastfeed should be given more care and support. After the baby is 6 months old, breast milk and formula milk can no longer fully meet his nutritional needs, and complementary foods need to be added.

What are the benefits of breastfeeding?

1. Rich in nutrients, breast milk is the most perfect food for babies and can almost meet all the nutrients a baby needs within 4 to 6 months. Such as protein, fat, sugar, carbohydrates, vitamins and enzymes that promote brain development, which are most suitable for infants' digestion, absorption and growth and development.

2. Breast milk contains antibodies that can fight many diseases. These antibodies can adhere to the intestinal mucosa through breastfeeding, preventing the invasion of bacteria or viruses and making the baby less likely to get infected. In addition, the white blood cells contained in breast milk have phagocytic and bactericidal abilities. These factors can protect babies and prevent diseases.

If the mother has milk, it is best to let the baby drink her own milk, because it is very unhygienic for two babies to use the same nipple. If it is really not possible, the baby can drink goat milk. Because mother's breast milk contains resistance factors that can enhance the baby's immunity, and the baby will not suffer from gastrointestinal discomfort when drinking breast milk. The nutrients contained in the milk are also suitable for the baby's growth and development.
