With this woman diary, today I’d like to share information to young mom about breast milk. Breast milk is the best source of nutrition you can give to your baby. A complete food source specially formulated for your baby, breast milk contains all the nutrients (there is at least 400), hormones and antibodies your baby needs for optimal development.
Ideally, you should begin breastfeeding your baby as soon as possible after delivery. Let your doctor know about your decision to breastfeed your baby and ample opportunity can be arranged for you to nurse your baby while you are still in the delivery room. This first nursing session is one of the most important sessions because a baby’s root reflex (the urge to suckle) is strongest right at birth and begins to diminish the longer you wait.
At this stage, your breasts are producing a substance known as colostrum that contains important antibodies that help protect your baby from infections and to line your baby’s intestines to prepare them to receive full milk. Colostrum will continue to be produced for the first 3-5 days after delivery before the breast begins to produce mature milk.
Breastfeeding for the first time can be quite a challenge and it is important to get as much support as possible. If you aren’t sure how to go about it, get help from the hospital’s lactation consultant, or a good friend or family member who has breastfed a baby before. Having the right support can sometimes make the different between mothers who persist with breastfeeding and those that eventually give up. Remember that breastfeeding is an art that will require a lot of patience and practice.
If your baby has trouble finding or staying on your nipple, don’t panic. Remember that there are two inexperienced individuals in the picture – you and your baby – and you both need time to adjust to one another and develop a nursing relationship. It is important to learn how to get a correct latch, position yourself comfortably and to break the suction when you need to. Make sure you have learned these three things before you leave the hospital.
A proper latch at the start should not be painful. However, nursing during the early days can cause your nipples to feel raw. This sensitivity will eventually subside – but be prepared for it to last a couple of weeks. Applying a barrier cream like Bepanthen after each nursing can help to lessen the sensitivity. Because of this initial tenderness, it can be difficult to tell if the pain is from an improper latch. If you aren’t sure, check with the lactation consultant. With a proper latch, the baby’s mouth should cover most of the areola (the darkened skin).
If your baby hasn’t gotten a proper latch, break the suction and start again. It is important to ensure that your baby learns how to latch properly and not to continue nursing if your baby has latched on poorly. If allowed to continue, your baby will develop a bad habit of latching on poorly which is not only painful for you in the long run but makes feeding time more inefficient for your baby.
During the first few days, you should nurse frequently because the more often you nurse, the more quickly your mature milk will come in and the more milk you will produce. A good practice to adopt is to breastfeed for 10-15 minutes per breast at least 8 – 10 times a day. If for, any reason, you are not able to nurse your baby, you can help encourage your breasts to produce more milk by applying a breast pump to it. One recommendation is to use an electric pump on the lowest setting for as long as you would otherwise nurse your baby.Crying during the early days is often a sign of hunger and it is important to feed your baby before he or she starts crying. Sometimes this may mean waking up your baby to begin breastfeeding. You may also find that your baby falls asleep easily during feeding. Jaundiced babies, especially, tend to be very lethargic and often don’t wake up for feeds. They especially need to be woken up to feed because breast milk helps them to excrete bilirubin (which is the breakdown product of red blood cells that causes jaundice). A good guide to follow is to wake your baby up if it has been four hours since the last feed.
okey…Thanks for reading this woman diary I hope this information useful for you… love you guys and good bye….

are you Fat??
Are you frustrated about it??
Are you Lazy to face it??
Are you surrender with your self??
We know that the biggest problem faced by overweight people is to lose fat while gaining muscle at the same time, isn’t it. I am sure the most people face problems in either losing weight or building muscles and in the process also lose their motivation. In this woman diary I wanna support you to not surrender with your problem.
If you too are facing a same problem then you can surely use some tips to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time.
Cut down on those excess calories. One important change will certainly have to be in your diet program. You will need to reduce your calorie intake by around 15% on a daily basis so as to lose weight. But more importantly, your diet needs to replace unhealthy and fatty foods with healthy and green foods that are rich in carbohydrates and proteins so that you get the necessary energy to exercise without piling on those pounds. Get professional help in designing a new diet that will need to be constantly supervised and altered as you start losing weight and gaining muscles.
Get into the right mix of exercises. You can start weight training but along with those exercises you will also require some fat-busting exercises. While leg raises and crunches can help reduce those love handles, jogging and swimming can also help burn away those stubborn layers of accumulated fat quickly. The right mix of exercises will help you to get leaner, fitter and muscular at the same time.Work on specific muscle groups. Your gym instructor can help you to devise exercise routines that can target specific muscles so as to bring them in proportion to your body weight. If your abdomen is large or if your arms are flabby then different exercises will be required to trim them down and convert them into rock-hard muscles.
Remain determined. You might find many obstacles in your path to losing weight. Sticking to your diet and exercise routine while managing your work and social life can be difficult. However, look at the larger, oops leaner picture and work towards your goal with dogged determination. If you falter, get up and run quickly without thinking too much about it. A strong will-power will result in a strong, muscled and lean body devoid of excess fat. I tell you again to don’t be surrender. Face it and win it, I am sure you can to achieve that guys.

Today in this woman diary I wanna share information about turmeric, I afraid you miss this information… Yess I wanna share an information about turmeric
Turmeric benefit
If you’ve been paying attention to the latest developments on the health benefits of turmeric then you already know that it can be helpful against many diseases and conditions such as cancer, arthritis, colitis, indigestion, heart disease and even diabetes.
That’s promising news but at this point you probably want to know how to use turmeric to get all the benefits this herbal miracle provides. In this article, you’ll learn how much you must take and what to look for when taking it.
There is a big a misunderstanding when people hear about turmeric benefits. Most people learn about it then decide that they’re going to add this herb to their spice rack and all will be well. Some may consciously start eating foods that contain it. However, taking turmeric in those ways is not going to help you. The thing about this herb is that it is not absorbed very well by your body. It most cases, it probably will not make it to your blood stream.
How to use turmeric properly
The best method to use turmeric is to take it as a capsule 2-3 times a day as a supplement. Nutritional companies have found that the best way for your body to get the benefits is to actually take the extract and pack it in a capsule with other ingredients. In most cases, the supplement will be a multi-vitamin or a mix of herbs.
Another misconception when it comes to taking supplementation is that the more of it there is, the bigger the benefit. First of all, the ingredient to look for is curcumin (this is what gives turmeric its benefits).
What you have to make sure is that you get a high percentage of curcumin extract in the supplement you are taking (you should shoot for 90% as a minimum). Taking a high extract concentration of 50 mg will be much more effective than 10 times that with low concentrations of the extract.
The next thing to look for is how absorbable your supplement is. The best supplements usually come with enteric coating. This coating protects it from your stomach so the nutrients can reach your blood stream. Without this coating, it will be less effective and a waste of money.
You also need to be aware of what other ingredients are in this herbal blend or multi-vitamin. A good blend will usually include other antioxidants and vitamins. An ingredient called piperine (which is from black pepper) has shown to increase absorbability of curcumin ten times more than without it.In conclusion, you should look for the following things: A supplement with 90% or more curcumin extract, one that includes enteric coating, a supplement that includes other anti-oxidants, and one that hopefully has piperine in it. Now you know how to use turmeric, look for these features if you are looking for the best.
I hope this information is useful for you…. thanks for reading….see you
