Within the framework of the week for the promotion of breastfeeding that is celebrated from August 1 to 8, Jairo Paredes, musician, composer, nutritionist and journalist, prepared a song from his office to guide women who do not breastfeed their children due to ignorance , “because they believe that breastfeeding will make their breasts saggy.” He reminds that, on the contrary, this food brings benefits for the child and the mother.
Caracas. “Hug your child, give him that milk, breast milk that will make him stronger, brings benefits, brings protection, it is the pure act of your love./ Milk brings nutrients that your baby needs, colostrum protects him from infectious processes! It’s the song for Breastfeeding Promotion Week.
This is a stanza of the song by the musician, composer, journalist and nutritionist Jairo Paredes, who does his bit in promoting breastfeeding, because many women do not breastfeed due to ignorance:
They believe that breastfeeding will make their breasts flaccid, or if it causes them pain, they choose to withdraw the feed because they do not know the positions to breastfeed; on the other hand, many mothers believe that breastfeeding does not fill or satisfy the baby”.
Jairo has a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from the Universidad de Los Andes, and in his thesis he proposed the use of music to educate children and parents about healthy eating and to encourage women to breastfeed.
This health professional who resides in Mérida mentions the benefits of breastfeeding, the main one being that it allows the creation of an emotional bond between mother and child.
It is necessary to promote breastfeeding because it is an exclusive food that brings immune protection to the baby; In addition, it helps growth and development within normal parameters. Breastfeeding generates better physical and intellectual condition and prevents future diseases, such as allergies, diabetes and obesity. Added to this, breastfeeding brings benefits for the mother, as it prevents breast and ovarian cancer.”
