| Welcome to the '''spoken tutorial''' about the importance of breastfeeding.

|-
| 00:06
| In this tutorial we will learn about:

|-
| 00:09
| Importance of breastfeeding.

|-
| 00:12
| Benefits of breastfeeding for the babies and the mothers.

|-
| 00:17
| Breastfeeding is a vital process.

|-
| 00:19
| It starts from the birth of a child to its second birthday or beyond.

|-
| 00:26
| Breastfeeding gives a healthy start of life to the infant.

|-
| 00:31
| It decides the immediate and future health of a child and the mother.

|-
| 00:38
| The benefits of it lasts a lifetime for both of them.

|-
| 00:43
| Even malnourished mothers can breastfeed their baby.

|-
| 00:49
| During pregnancy, breast size increases.

|-
| 00:53
| This is due to an increase in the number of milk producing tissues.

|-
| 00:59
| However, the final size of the breasts do not affect the milk production amount.

|-
| 01:07
| Breastfeeding should be initiated within 1 hour of birth.

|-
| 01:13
| This increases the supply of breast milk.

|-
| 01:17
| Therefore, exclusive breastfeeding in the first 6 months also increases.

|-
| 01:24
| It further helps in extending breastfeeding beyond 2 years.

|-
| 01:31
| The risk of neonatal deaths is low in babies who are breastfed within 1 hour.

|-
| 01:39
| Delayed breastfeeding can increase the risk of diseases in newborn babies.

|-
| 01:47
| For example, diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure.

|-
| 01:53
| Early initiation of breastfeeding also ensures that the baby receives '''colostrum'''.

|-
| 02:00
| '''Colostrum''' is the first milk secreted by the mother after giving birth.

|-
| 02:07
| For babies, it is a primary source of energy and nutrients.

|-
| 02:13
| It is important for them especially in the initial days of their lives.

|-
| 02:20
| It has a large number of infection-fighting elements,

|-
| 02:24
| '''Vitamin A''' and

|-
| 02:26
| good fat.

|-
| 02:28
| Numerous growth and protective factors are also there in '''colostrum'''.

|-
| 02:35
| '''Colostrum''' has the property which helps to remove the old feces faster.

|-
| 02:42
| Detailed benefits of '''colostrum''' are discussed in another tutorial.

|-
| 02:48
| Please check the website for more details.

|-
| 02:52
| Remember that exclusive breastfeeding should be done for the first 6 months.

|-
| 02:59
| Breast milk is a unique natural food which cannot be duplicated.

|-
| 03:05
| When the baby completes 6 months, complementary food should be started.

|-
| 03:12
| It should be given along with breastfeeding.

|-
| 03:16
| Breastfeeding should be continued until 2 years or beyond.

|-
| 03:22
| There are many benefits of breastfeeding for the babies.

|-
| 03:27
| Nutrients and composition of breast milk are ideal for digestion by babies.

|-
| 03:34
| Through breast milk babies get '''antibodies'''.

|-
| 03:38
| '''Antibodies''' strengthen the immunity of the baby and reduces the risk of infections.

|-
| 03:46
| Additionally, it prevents allergic reactions in babies.

|-
| 03:52
| Breast milk also contains growth factors.

|-
| 03:56
| They help in the development of the lining of the baby’s intestine.

|-
| 04:02
| It promotes the growth of good bacteria in the baby's intestine.

|-
| 04:08
| Thus, it protects the babies against intestinal inflammation and infection.

|-
| 04:16
| Similarly, it helps in the development of all other organs of the body.

|-
| 04:22
| Breastfeeding reduces the risk of diarrhea.

|-
| 04:27
| Other benefits are prevention of ear infections

|-
| 04:31
| and tooth decay.

|-
| 04:33
| Development of jaws and proper alignment of teeth are some other examples.

|-
| 04:41
| Risk of developing some diseases later in life also gets reduced.

|-
| 04:48
| For example, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and blood cancer.

|-
| 04:56
| The risk of respiratory diseases like asthma and pneumonia also gets reduced.

|-
| 05:04
| Breastfeeding reduces the chances of sudden death in babies below 1 year of age.

|-
| 05:14
| The risk of developing '''atopic eczema''' is also less in breastfed babies.

|-
| 05:22
| '''Eczema''' is a condition in which skin develops red, itchy and rough patches.

|-
| 05:30
| Breastfed babies are also less likely to be hospitalised for illness and infections.

|-
| 05:39
| Breastfed babies have better control over their appetite.

|-
| 05:44
| Breast milk contains appetite controlling hormones.

|-
| 05:48
| Such hormones help the babies listen to their body’s hunger and satiety signals.

|-
| 05:57
| This self regulation is disturbed in babies who are not breastfed.

|-
| 06:03
| Eventually this can lead to overeating,

|-
| 06:07
| obesity

and later diabetes.

|-
| 06:11
| Breastfeeding also has an effect on the brain.

|-
| 06:15
| The breast milk has components which help in brain development and maturation.

|-
| 06:23
| Breastfed children have a higher IQ and other skills.

|-
| 06:28
| Breast milk benefits premature babies even more.

|-
| 06:34
| Suckling at the breast improves the breathing in such babies.

|-
| 06:40
| These babies are at a risk of developing intestinal infection.

|-
| 06:47
| For example: Diarrhea and '''Necrotizing enterocolitis''' which is known as '''NEC'''.

|-
| 06:56
| '''NEC''' is a serious condition caused due to infection and damage to the intestine.

|-
| 07:05
| Breast milk protects premature babies from this infection.

|-
| 07:11
| Milk from mothers of premature babies is rich in infection fighting '''proteins'''.

|-
| 07:19
| It also contains intestinal protective growth promoting factors.

|-
| 07:25
| High concentration of specific '''amino acids''' and good bacteria is also present.

|-
| 07:33
| These amino acids are essential for growth in premature infants.

|-
| 07:40
| Thus, breast milk helps in preventing infections

|-
| 07:43
| and gaining weight.

|-
| 07:46
| Breastfeeding reduces long term problems caused due to premature birth.

|-
| 07:52
| For example, problems of the lungs and eyes.

|-
| 07:57
| Thus, premature babies should get a maximum amount of breast milk.

|-
| 08:04
| Even '''Kangaroo mother care''' also known as '''KMC''', is useful for premature babies.

|-
| 08:12
| It improves the frequency and duration of breastfeeding in them.

|-
| 08:18
| Skin to skin contact during '''KMC''' helps maintain the baby’s body temperature.

|-
| 08:27
| It also helps in stabilising the baby’s heartbeat and oxygen levels in blood.

|-
| 08:35
| The procedure for '''kangaroo mother care''' has been explained in an another tutorial.

|-
| 08:42
| Apart from babies, breastfeeding is beneficial for mothers as well.

|-
| 08:48
| The benefits are immediate and long term.

|-
| 08:53
| Immediate breastfeeding after childbirth helps reduce vaginal bleeding.

|-
| 08:59
| It increases the level of '''oxytocin''' hormone in the body.

|-
| 09:05
| This helps in expelling the placenta out of the body.

|-
| 09:09
| As a result uterus contractions are improved and vaginal bleeding reduces.

|-
| 09:17
| Thus, anaemia can be prevented in mothers.

|-
| 09:21
| There are psychological advantages of breastfeeding for mothers.

|-
| 09:27
| Frequent skin to skin contact develops bonding between the mother and her baby.

|-
| 09:35
| This bonding makes the mother ready to breastfeed.

|-
| 09:39
| Ultimately, it reduces the postpartum stress and depression in mothers.

|-
| 09:46
| Breastfeeding also has long term benefits for mothers.

|-
| 09:51
| It prevents weakening of the bones in the later age.

|-
| 09:56
| The risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer also gets reduced.

|-
| 10:02
| During pregnancy, women gain fat around internal body organs.

|-
| 10:08
| Such as stomach, intestine and liver.

|-
| 10:12
| This fat is hidden in the belly or abdominal region.

|-
| 10:18
| Excess of this fat can result in '''insulin resistance''',

|-
| 10:23
| diabetes and

obesity.

|-
| 10:26
| Breastfeeding helps reduce this fat in women.

|-
| 10:31
| It minimizes the risk of obesity, hypertension and heart diseases.

|-
| 10:37
| Exclusive breastfeeding can act as a natural birth control.

|-
| 10:44
| However, couples should use contraception after 6 weeks of delivery.

|-
| 10:50
| This helps in keeping space between two pregnancies.

|-
| 10:56
| There are some economical benefits of breastfeeding.

|-
| 11:00
| Breast milk is available free of cost and is best for the baby.

|-
| 11:06
| It does not involve money spent on formula milk, bottles and plastic nipples.

|-
| 11:14
| Extra time is also not spent in preparing breast milk.

|-
| 11:20
| Hot water, utensils and heating fuel is not required for preparing breast milk.

|-
| 11:28
| Dirty water or dirty feeding bottles can make the baby sick.

|-
| 11:35
| Thus, healthcare costs for the mother and baby is low in the future years.

|-
| 11:42
| There are several environmental benefits of breastfeeding too.

|-
| 11:47
| Firstly, breastfeeding does not involve any packaging or transportation.

|-
| 11:54
| It does not produce any waste,

|-
| 11:57
| smoke or

noise.

|-
| 12:00
| It reduces pollution by saving global resources and energy.

|-
| 12:06
| Therefore, breastfeeding is the best option.

|-
| 12:10
| Mothers should ensure to breastfeed the baby from birth until 2 years of age.

|-
| 12:18
| This is for the good health of the baby and the mother as well.

|-
| 12:24
| Breastfeeding requires an understanding of the correct breastfeeding technique.

|-
| 12:30
| Along with that, adequate support and guidance from the family is necessary too.

|-
| 12:38
| All of this has been explained in an another tutorial of the same series.

|-
| 12:44
| This brings us to the end of the tutorial.

Thanks for joining.
