Low appearance may be due to loss of breast milk. Are breastfed babies better looking?

Do breastfed babies look better? Today, let's talk about whether breastfed babies will have better looks. Parents all hope to have a beautiful and perfect baby, so can breast milk make the baby more beautiful and intelligent? Please see the detailed introduction below.

Correct breastfeeding concept

1. Let your child suck more. Pay attention to the posture and the way of sucking.

2. Feed scientifically and stay away from the trivial articles in the circle of friends.

3. Pure breastfeeding is good, but when objective conditions do not allow it, mixed feeding with breast milk as the main source is also acceptable. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself because you cannot exclusively breastfeed.

4. Every baby and every mother is different, so theory still needs to be combined with practice. When encountering problems, be more patient and try more ways to solve them.

5. There is no perfect baby, so don’t demand yourself to be a perfect mother. Your good mood is more important than letting your child drink more breast milk.

Low appearance may be due to lack of breast milk

Compared with formula feeding, breastfeeding calcium is easier to absorb and the child's bone development is better. When feeding with breast milk, the baby uses the tongue and upper palate to exert force, which increases the amount of facial muscle exercise and is conducive to shaping.

Why do some people have more symmetrical faces? Maybe it's because of breast milk

1. Compared with milk powder, the calcium in breast milk is easier for babies to absorb, so children who are breastfed have better bone development, and bone development will affect the shape of the face.

2. When the baby is breastfeeding, he needs to use his tongue and upper palate to squeeze the mother's areola hard to squeeze out the milk. At this time, the baby's facial muscles exercise a lot, so the face shape will be shaped relatively well.

The impact of breastfeeding on intelligence

Breastfeeding, just do your best and don't worry about it

There are many benefits to breastfeeding, but these benefits do not include increasing IQ. Dr. von Stam believes that the relationship between breastfeeding and IQ is by no means a naturally occurring connection, but rather that there are mediating variables involved. Generally speaking, families with a higher socioeconomic status or parents with higher quality are more likely to accept breastfeeding, and the prevalence of breastfeeding among them is also higher [3]. Therefore, although it seems that breastfeeding improves IQ, in fact, it is the intelligence of the parents and the family environment behind breastfeeding that play a role - the product of the combined effects of nature and nurture.

Whether drinking breast milk can increase IQ is not only a commonplace topic, but also a question that expectant mothers are very concerned about. Earlier studies mostly supported that breastfeeding can improve children's intelligence, but in recent years this view has been constantly refuted, so that now the theoretical community usually uses the more cautious wording "unclear" when describing this relationship.

Although breast milk does not raise IQ, Dr. von Stumm's study is not against breast milk. She just wants to clarify a long-standing misunderstanding about breastfeeding from a scientific standpoint. Breast milk is the most perfect food that mothers can give to their babies, but breast milk is not omnipotent after all. Mothers who cannot provide breast milk do not have to worry too much. At least for now, there is no need to worry that their babies will fall behind at the starting line of IQ.
