Lactation consultant busts the most common breastfeeding myths Indian mothers need to stop believing

in5points
  1. Breast milk contains antibodies, enzymes, and nutrients necessary for the baby's growth, unlike formula milk.

  2. Breast size does not affect milk production; glandular tissue determines milk supply.

  3. Mothers with common illnesses like colds, fever, or infections can continue breastfeeding.

  4. Herbal remedies like kadhas with ajwain, methi, jeera, gond, or haldi do not boost milk supply; frequent breastfeeding does.
