  • Ang pagbreastfeed ng isang ina sa kanyang infant ay isang bond na hindi mapapalitan o masusubstitute. Kadalasan, ito ang nagbibigay pagkakataon sa mga ina upang maging malapit sa kanyang anak – physically, mentally, and emotionally. Ang breastfeeding din ay nagbibigay ng ilang benefits sa mag-ina in terms of health. Apart from nutritional benefits, breastfeeding also helps the mother emotionally and also the mother recover faster from birth.

     

    There are many facts, myths, and misconceptions about breastfeeding that mothers – especially first-time moms – should be aware of so they don’t encounter any unnecessary stress while breastfeeding their children. 

    This article will address one of the most common myths about breastfeeding and might provide the answer to the question: “mas mabilis ba mabuntis ang nanay na nagbebreastfeed?” 

     

    Breaking Down Facts About Breastfeeding & Pregnancy

     

    FACT: Breastfeeding Affects Fertility 

     

    After a woman delivers her child, it would take around six weeks for the body to heal. Pero ang paggaling ng katawan ng ina pagkatapos manganak ay nakadepende pa din sa paraan ng panganganak nito. Minsan umaabot ng buwan ang paggaling ng katawan ng ina. 

     

     

    Kung ikaw ay hindi nagbebreastfeed o hindi madalas magbreastfeed, mas mabilis babalik ang iyong menstruation. Once your period is back on track, you can consider yourself fertile and able to try again for another child. 

     

    FACT: Breastfeeding Delays Menstruation 

     

    For moms who breastfeed, it’s worth knowing that this will delay their ovulation and menstrual cycle. Thus, you might not be able to get your period as long as your child hasn’t stopped breastfeeding. Kadalasan, natatapos ang pagbreastfeed ng bata pagsapit ng kanilang ika-6 na buwan. After this, your body and fertility will start to return to normal. 

     

    FACT: You Can Get Pregnant While Breastfeeding 

     

    Yes, it’s still possible to get pregnant while breastfeeding but it might take a while and a bit of effort. If you’re looking to start trying for another baby but don’t want to give up breastfeeding, maari ‘kang maglagay ng mahahabang gap hours sa pagbreastfeed. Maari niyo ‘ding subukan ang partial weaning o combination feeding where you can breastfeed for some feedings and use formula for others. 

     

    If you breastfeed less often, your period may be able to return faster. This process also helps to retain the special bond that you’ve made with your child through breastfeeding while trying to kickstart your period again. Ngunit laging tandaan, ito ay nagiiba-iba at maaring hindi maging applicable sa lahat ng mommies dahil iba-iba ang ating mga katawan.

     

    Debunking the Myth: Mabilis Nabubuntis ang Nagbebreastfeed 

     

    As we have established that breastfeeding slows down ovulation and the menstrual cycle, maari nating sabihin na isang myth ang kasabihan na mas mabilis mabuntis ang nagbebreastfeed na ina. Hangga’t nagbebreastfeed ang isang ina, mas madedelay ang pagbalik ng menstrual cycle at fertility nito kaya hindi siya mabubuntis ng mabilis. 

     

    Moms can try to get pregnant while breastfeeding if they’re using combination feeding as mentioned earlier but it still differs from mother to mother. Even when using combination feeding, some moms might not have their period until months after while some might see the return of their period after four to six weeks. 

     

    Note that this may differ from mother to mother as moms have different healing periods and not all moms breastfeed or have the ability to breastfeed for long periods. Hence, you might find that there are moms who do get pregnant faster than others. However, for the general populace, it will take a while for moms who breastfeed to kickstart their fertility again.

     

     

    Mga mommies, laging tandaan na mas mainam na komunsulta sa inyong mga doktor ukol sa ganitong mga topic. It always helps to get the opinion of a professional before administering any treatments or undergoing different processes to kickstart ovulation once again. Remember that the needs of a mom and a child always vary and they aren’t the same – what might work for some moms might not work for others. 

     

    Always take the extra mile to talk to your doctor about matters like this. Higit sa lahat, tandaan na hindi kayo nag-iisa, mga mommies! Huwag mahiya na lumapit na ibang mommies for advice at mas lalong huwag mahiya sa inyong mga doktor para matulungan kayo ng husto sa inyong pagbreastfeed at pagbubuntis.
