Summary Introduction
To review:
The significance of breastfeeding the baby immediately after birth and not once the mother and the baby comes back home.
Introduction:
Nursing or breastfeeding is very important for the wellbeing of the newly born baby as well as the mother. In fact, the baby must be immediately breastfed after birth. Breastfeeding has shown various impacts in later life such as the decreased risk of various diseases like respiratory infections and fewer chances of being affected by obesity in the adult stages. Also, cognitive development is said to improve and it is also proven through research. It is generally recommended that the baby must be breastfed for up to 6 months of age.

She had zero complications, and even with the birth of twins, she felt she was recovering well. The real challenge came when it was time to breastfeed her twins, Silvia and Lynette. Breastfeeding for the first time can be a challenge for any mom, and breastfeeding twins can be double the challenge. Brenna is having major concerns about being able to produce enough milk. Brenna is a small-breasted woman, and she is worried that she will not be able to feed both of her babies.
