Breastfeeding or nursing is the feeding of babies and young children with milk from a woman's breast. It is recommended to begin breastfeeding within the first hour of life and to allow it as often and as much as the baby wants. During the first few weeks of life babies may nurse eight to twelve times a day (every two to three hours). The duration of a feeding is usually ten to fifteen minutes on each breast. The frequency of feeding decreases as the child gets older. Some mothers pump milk so that it can be used later when their child is being cared for by others. Breastfeeding benefits both mother and baby.Infant formula does not have many of the benefits.
It is estimated that more than a million deaths of babies could be prevented globally per year through more widespread breastfeeding. Breastfeeding decreases the risk of respiratory tract infections and diarrhea. This is true both in developing and developed countries. Other benefits include lower risks of asthma, food allergies, celiac disease, type 1 diabetes, and leukemia. Breastfeeding may also improve cognitive development and decrease the risk of obesity in adulthood. Some mothers may feel considerable pressure to breastfeed, but children who are not breastfed grow up normally – without significant harm to their future health.
You're powerful
You're unshakeable
You're powerful
You're unshakeable
You wreck me
You rule me
You turn me upside down (ya know)
Your glory
Pervades me
You conquer without a sound
You shake me
You break me
You make me whole again (ya know)
Your nature
Unchanging
All fails, but You remain
And when the ground begins to shake
And when my courage starts to fade
I let my fears go
When You
Breathe
The lifeless rise up
Invade me
With violence
And heal me
You're mighty
