Episode 7b--Feminine Health: Breast Feeding

 


Hello dear sisters. I am Rabia your host. Breast milk is the best food for the baby. Breastfeeding prevents many diseases. Some of these diseases show up at the time of being an infant while others pop up in the future. What are these diseases? They are as follows: bloating, obesity, diabetes, and the baby's sudden death while sleeping. Breastfeeding is also helpful to mothers. It lowers the risk in mothers of developing diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer in women, and other diseases.  Our religion also says that the mother needs to breastfeed her baby for two years. In the United States, physicians say that babies need to get their mother's milk at least for a year. In some cases, the mother cannot feed the baby due to health issues and depression. She needs to talk to a specialist, and the specialist will help her resolve the issue so that the mother can breastfeed her baby.

 A mother needs to get enough liquids, eat enough good food, and take care of her health while breastfeeding the baby. If a baby gets used to getting bottled milk, then the baby will not get the mother's breast.  How would we know the milk is enough for the baby? We need to check the baby for how many times it urinates and needs a change of diapers. A baby is healthy when it has the right weight and sleeps well. The mother needs to take the baby to the pediatric doctor on a regular basis. Mothers can also use breast pumps and put their milk in a bottle and then feed the baby. 

Every mother loves her baby. This love has to increase after the delivery.  Skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby is very important. The baby has to be kept close to the mother's breast so that the baby feels that she is her mother and she protects him/her from everything. How can a mother make this contact? A mother should not leave a baby crying. She should hold the baby and help the baby relax. A baby will calm down if he/she knows that the mother gives them love.  A mother needs to hold the baby several times a day and keep it close to her chest. For all mothers, it is important that they put away their smartphones and pay attention to their babies.  As the baby grows, the mother has to read books for her/him and take them for a walk. It is good for the health of mom and child.

  Episode 4—Navigating the American Health Care System I am Feroz Bashari.   Today, I am going to give you some advice about the Americans medical system and what you need to know to be able to use it to the benefit of you and your family. 1.  First of all, you need to have some form of health insurance.  Without it you can end up deep in debt . 2.  Secondly, American doctors are very well trained.  They usually have 12 years of college training.  The American system of training doctors is considered the best in the world. 3.  Many medicines need a prescription from a doctor.  The reason for this is that taking the wrong medication or too much of a medication can lead to serious health problems. 4.  People need a primary care doctor so that they do not have to use the emergency room for every illness.  A primary care doctor looks after your overall health care needs and looks for problems you would not be aware of . 5....
