Prolonged breastfeeding is a practice that is not understood by a good part of society, although it is a natural, beneficial fact and was usually practiced by the different civilizations that precede us. This video on prolonged breastfeeding He explains these and many other related questions.
There are two specialists in charge of these highly recommended images: Ana Romero Manzano (midwife of the University Hospital of the Canary Islands) and Marta Díaz Gómez (pediatrician and professor at the University of La Laguna) have prepared and made available the video on prolonged breastfeeding .
Documented examples of the fact breastfeed children beyond two years In the ancient civilizations, anthropological data on the natural age of weaning (between two and a half years and seven years), the social changes that affected so that breastfeeding rates decreased, benefits for children and mothers ... are part of this interesting video.
But let's not think that it is necessary to go far to see that prolonged breastfeeding is natural: until the last century the average weaning age was between 18 months and three years of the child. WHO or UNICEF have amply demonstrated the benefits of breastfeeding their children, so they continue to promote breastfeeding.
A selection of benefits of breastfeeding beyond 12 months complete the images that I strongly recommend: effect of tranquility, tetanalgesia, improvements in intellectual performance, in the development of different skills, in the immune system ... We have already talked to you extensively about why breastfeeding is advised until two years or more .
Hopefully all this data, so well exposed in the video on prolonged breastfeeding that we present to you, serve to erase many prejudices and to encourage more women to breastfeed their children for a longer time, and also to do it in public so that the image of a child is normalized beyond the two years she breastfeeds.
