Many mothers become obsessed with the growth of the newborn during the first weeks. Will it reach you with my milk? Will he stay hungry? We ask ourselves.
According to one study it is better that we stop worrying, since even a diet not too abundant is preferable for the future health of the child than a diet enriched with formula milk. The abundant does not necessarily mean healthy.
That is why, once again, breastfeeding is defended as the best way to feed the newborn in quality and quantity, since the measure of milk that the breast produces and the baby takes is adequate to its demand and relatively low, which is good. Even, according to the study of Institute of Child Health in London and although it seems a contradiction, low nutrition in the first days of life is healthier and makes children less likely to develop diseases such as diabetes in adolescence.
Of course, it does not mean that parents should restrict the diet of the baby, much less, but naturally breast milk is not just too abundant during the first days after birth until the rise in milk.
As it happens throughout life, the healthy thing is not in the little or in how much we eat, but in the right measure.
