Breastfeeding training at Naot Peres General Clinic in Haifa by a family doctor who is an expert in the field

The new service offers a comprehensive and supportive medical response to the challenges of breastfeeding and is intended for breastfeeding women as well as women who are interested in a preparatory meeting for breastfeeding during pregnancy, by Dr. Lia Minkov, a specialist in general family medicine, Haifa district and Western Galilee.

"Breastfeeding is a natural continuation of pregnancy and childbirth and brings significant health benefits to both the baby and the mother. It is very important to prepare for breastfeeding as well, this is especially true in cases of first parenthood, women with underlying illnesses, or those who experienced difficulties with previous breastfeeding," explains Dr. Minkov.

"Breast milk is a living physiological substance that changes its composition depending on the age of the baby, the health status of the baby and the mother. Breastfeeding even prevents infectious diseases such as pneumonia, ear infections, infections in the digestive system and more. This is because the mother transfers protective immune factors to the baby through the milk and also through Skin contact during breastfeeding. However, like any natural process, breastfeeding may also be accompanied by various challenges, which may arise from underlying diseases, drug treatment of The mother, the course of the pregnancy or the nature of the birth."
