Is it better to have oil in breast milk or not?

Breast milk is the safest food for babies. It contains all the nutrients that babies need, and the most abundant one is fat. Fat can provide calories for babies and is very important for the brain development of babies. Breast milk is also rich in calcium, phosphorus and other elements. However, some women find that their breast milk contains oil. So is it better to have oil in breast milk or not?

First, is it better for breast milk to have oil or not? Of course it is better if it does not have oil. What if breast milk is oily? This situation is mostly due to intestinal flora disorder and poor digestive function. First of all, it is recommended to let the baby drink more warm water, eat lighter complementary foods, and pay attention to keeping the baby's abdomen warm. Greasy breast milk is caused by breastfeeding mothers eating too much high-fat food. Babies are more likely to have diarrhea if they drink greasy milk. Therefore, breastfeeding mothers should eat nutritious but also light food. That's because of the mother's diet. In addition to eating foods high in fat and protein, the mother must also eat fruits and vegetables, otherwise there will be a nutritional imbalance.

There are certain requirements for how much milk to feed a baby of different ages, how many times a day to feed, how much to feed each time, and even the temperature, so as to prevent the baby from being too full or too hungry. But how to control the "quantity" and "quality" of breast milk? Breastfeeding mothers pay special attention to their daily diet.
