Pediatrician and lactation counselor at Pondok Indah Hospital, Dr. Fransiska Farah SpA M Kes, said that besides knowing about lactation, self-confidence also plays an important role in the success of exclusive breastfeeding.

"Breastfeeding mothers must always have positive thoughts and affirmations, must always be happy. Happiness will trigger the release of the hormone oxytocin which launches breast milk," said Dr. Fransiska in his written statement on Tuesday (7/30/2019).

According to Farah, babies really want to breastfeed if the mother's condition is calm, relaxed and patient, so this is the key to breastfeeding.

"Just so you know, babies can feel this, you know. So, get rid of all worries, panic, and negative thoughts during breastfeeding," he said.

Furthermore, Farah said, the concept of ASI supply and demand, so once the container is empty, ASI will immediately fill it up again. "Therefore, it is important to ensure that breast emptying is done as often as possible," he stressed.

Breast milk will be produced properly, if emptying breast milk is also good. Good emptying can be fulfilled if the baby can stick or suck well in the breast.

"The position and attachment of the baby to the breast are key to the success of breastfeeding and the production of breast milk," said Farah.
