What is dry breastfeeding?

• April 28, 2024

Breastfeeding is a very intimate experience between mother and child, because they take advantage to strengthen their emotional ties, but, did you know that there is a dry lactation?

The lactation It is a subject that interests me, I am passionate and of which I have become a strong activist. The "Nazi boob" put me a friend on Facebook (the "breast Nazi"), for my constant campaign in favor of this experience ...

Yes, I do consider that I have a vision that for some is "extreme"; I keep it especially because in my country, Mexico, the percentage of mothers who breastfeed is very low, less than 20%.

Daily I read a lot about breastfeeding, both open forums where moms share their experiences and concerns, as well as articles and sites with more scientific and formal documents.

So this week I came across a blog where people talked about "lactation seca ", a term that I had never heard or read. With curiosity I read the whole article and in the end everything made sense: it is about offering the chest even if "nothing comes out".

Thus, the author counted that even though she had tried to breastfeed her little one, it was one of the strange cases where there is no milk; This did not prevent him from creating a bond with her through offering her breast, in addition to the formula.

All the people who have breastfed, and many who do not, know that it is not just a matter of feeding through milk, but it has to do with the emotional bond that is created with your child when breastfeeding: exchange looks , embrace, make love.

It seems to me that although whoever chooses or is forced to give formula creates another type of bond, but the one that is formed when the baby is breastfeeding is unique.
