Not many of the female species know that their body is well equipped with the capability to produce breast milk.
And it goes without saying the importance the breast feeding holds in a child's growth.
As infants the new born babies do not have a whit of capacity to digest any form of solid food.
So in a sense they primarily depend on this breast feeding in their initial growing days.
That is perhaps one of the reasons why the rule of nature has given the females with the in-built capability of breast feeding.
This milk not only gives your baby the much needed nutritional food values, but also prevents the baby from any kind of infections and diseases.
Keeping in mind the fact that the mother too is a human being who herself suffers from the limitation of having a good health; this can effect the production of breast milk in her.
To illustrate it further we can mention the presence of breast engorgement which is rampant in such mothers.
When it happens, the mother producing such breast milk finds the clogging on the veins producing the milk.
This leads to swelling.
Most of the mothers may assume they are producing too much milk.
But actually it means the mother is doing something wrong somewhere.
As a matter of fact, in the early days of post delivery when you are still nursing the milk that is produced in the breast perfectly suits the consumption of it by the baby.
In a matter of days your body becomes aware how much is the intake of the baby.
Now on a given point of time, if don't succeed in expressing enough milk to the new born, there will definitely be some excessive milk around your mammary gland.
This leads to engorgement which is prone to infections.
But don't panic.
There are ways in which you can take care of this problem.
Low supply of milk is yet another issue where the breast feeding mommas find difficulty with.
This might be because of many reasons.
One of the reasons attributed is to the stress which the mother has to undergo.
Again it could be possibly because of the mother has almost stopped doing the nursing for her.
The period of one to six months is considered by the experts to be the most crucial phase when breast feeding is a must.
The good news - consult a gynecologist who can prescribe medicines that will increase the supply of the milk.
Females undergoing through a cesarean instead of a normal delivery normally have bouts of apprehensions and misconceptions surrounding the breast feeding.
Most of them think since the body will undergo a change in the normal body process; it might be cumbersome to nurse the c-section.
This holds a greater importance in American Society where every one woman in four undergoes through a cesarean child birth.
The health experts have cleared this doubt too.
They are of the opinion that the basic difference between a mother giving a normal delivery and the one undergoing through a cesarean is the amount of rest each one has to do post delivery.
The later needs to rest a little longer than the former.
So the next time you get panicky don't lose heart.
