Prophetic Parenting Cara Nabi Mendidik Anak, karya Dr Muhammad Nur Abdul Hafizh Suwaid

salam all mommies.

hope everyone is in good health and happy. InsyaAllah. ^.^

now, i am in the midst of reading a fabulous parenting book, titled "Prophetic Parenting Cara Nabi Mendidik Anak" karya dari Dr Muhammad Nur Abdul Hafizh Suwaid.

and i now came across this chapter which touch upon breastfeeding and i think i want to share it with all of you in here. as it makes me more happy, and enthusiastic to keep on breastfeeding my son until he is 2 years old. insyaAllah.

First that i want to share is as below;
Diriwayatkan bahawa 'Amr bin Abdillah berkata kepada isterinya yang sedang menyusukan anaknya,

"Janganlah engkau menyusui bayimu seperti haiwan menyusui anaknya. Haiwan pun menyusui anaknya dengan kasih sayang. Akan tetapi, susuilah bayimu dengan niat mengharap redha Allah dan agar dengan susumu ini hiduplah seorang makhluk yang mentauhidkan Allah dan beribadah kepada-Nya."

and lagi satu adalah hikmah disebalik aktiviti penyusuan susu ibu:
1. si bayi meminum susu yang sangat bersih dan hygienic
2. tidak dingin, juga tidak panas
3. selalu ada setiap saat
4. tidak rosak kerana disimpan
5. sesuai dgn lambung si bayi
6. memenuhi segala keperluan gizi bayi
7. membentuk sistem imun si bayi dlm melawan ...kuman penyakit
8. mencegah obesiti bagi ibu dan bayi
9. dapat menimbulkan kasih sayang dan memperkuatkan ikatan antara ibu dan anak.







Hopefully all of us mothers can keep on breastfeed our child up until 2 years, despite of all challenges and hardship. especially to all working mothers. chaiyo`!

10 facts on breastfeeding from WHO

I got this 10 facts on breastfeeding from World Health Organization (WHO)'s website.

1. WHO Recommends

WHO strongly recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life. At six months, other foods should complement breastfeeding for up to two years or more. In addition:

• breastfeeding should begin within an hour of birth;
• breastfeeding should be "on demand", as often as the child wants day and night; and
• bottles or pacifiers should be avoided. 

2. Health benefits for infants

Breast milk is the ideal food for newborns and infants. It gives infants all the nutrients they need for healthy development. It is safe and contains antibodies that help protect infants from common childhood illnesses - such as diarrhoea and pneumonia, the two primary causes of child mortality worldwide. Breast milk is readily available and affordable, which helps to ensure that infants get adequate sustenance.

3. Benefits for mothers
Breastfeeding also benefits mothers. The practice when done exclusively is associated with a natural (though not fail-safe) method of birth control (98% of protection in the first 6 months after birth). It reduces risks of breast and ovarian cancer later in life, helps women return to their pre-pregnancy weight faster and lower rates of obesity. 

4. Long term benefits for children
Beyond the immediate benefits for children, breastfeeding contributes to a lifetime of good health. Adults who were breastfed as babies often have lower blood pressure and lower cholesterol, as well as lower rates of overweight, obesity and type-2 diabetes. There is evidence that people who were breastfed perform better in intelligence tests.

5. Why not infant formula?
Infant formula does not contain the antibodies found in breast milk. When infant formula is not properly prepared, there are some risks arising from the use of unsafe water and unsterilized equipment or the potential presence of bacteria in powdered formula. Malnutrition can result from over-diluting formula to "stretch" supplies. Further, frequent feedings maintain the breast milk supply. If formula is used but becomes unavailable, a return to breastfeeding may not be an option due to diminished breast milk production.

6. HIV and breastfeeding
An HIV-infected mother can pass the infection to her infant during pregnancy, delivery and through breastfeeding. Antiretroviral (ARV) drug interventions to either the mother or HIV-exposed infant reduces the risk of transmission of HIV through breastfeeding. Together, breastfeeding and ARV interventions have the potential to significantly improve infants' chances of surviving while remaining HIV uninfected. WHO recommends that when HIV-infected mothers breastfeed, they should receive ARVs and follow WHO guidance for breastfeeding and complementary feeding.

7. Regulating breast milk substitutes
An international code to regulate the marketing of breast-milk substitutes was adopted in 1981. It calls for:

• all formula labels and information to state the benefits of breastfeeding and the health risks of substitutes;
• no promotion of breast-milk substitutes;
• no free samples of substitutes to be given to pregnant women, mothers or their families; and
• no distribution of free or subsidized substitutes to health workers or facilities.

8. Support for mothers is essential
Breastfeeding has to be learned and many women encounter difficulties at the beginning. Nipple pain, and fear that there is not enough milk to sustain the baby are common. Health facilities that support breastfeeding - by making trained breastfeeding counsellors available to new mothers - encourage higher rates of the practice. To provide this support and improve care for mothers and newborns, there are now more than 20 000 "baby-friendly" facilities in 152 countries thanks to a WHO-UNICEF initiative.

9. Work and breastfeeding
Many mothers who return to work abandon breastfeeding partially or completely because they do not have sufficient time, or a place to breastfeed, express and store their milk. Mothers need a safe, clean and private place in or near their work to continue breastfeeding. Enabling conditions at work can help, such as paid maternity leave, part-time work arrangements, on-site crèches, facilities for expressing and storing breast milk, and breastfeeding breaks.

10. The next step: Phasing in new foods
To meet the growing needs of babies at six months of age, complementary foods should be introduced as they continue to breastfeed. Foods for the baby can be specially prepared or modified from family meals. WHO notes that:

• breastfeeding should not be decreased when starting complementary feeding;
• complementary foods should be given with a spoon or cup, not in a bottle;
• foods should be clean, safe and locally available; and
• ample time is needed for young children to learn to eat solid foods.
