Women's breasts have always been a proud and private part of their body, but after having a baby, breastfeeding has become a daily routine, and there is no such thing as privacy. Every baby has some small quirks. Some babies like plush toys or blankets, while others have a special fondness for their mother's breasts, which is called breast love. So why does the baby love breastfeeding?
Like what we often refer to as fetishism, breast love is a manifestation of babies seeking a sense of security. Parents don't need to worry too much. Around half a year old, babies begin to realize that their mother is the closest person. With the warm embrace of their mother and breast milk, they can fall asleep peacefully. Over time, not only will babies feel hungry and want to suck on their breasts, but when their emotions become irritable and difficult to calm, their mother's breasts will also instantly calm them down, giving them a sense of security. This is also the reason why babies love breast milk.
If a baby falls in love with breastfeeding at a very young age, parents do not need to intervene excessively. As the baby grows older, it is best not to let the baby breastfeed as much as possible. If the baby is in a hurry, do not try to soothe their emotions with breastfeeding. Encourage babies to develop a regular eating, playing, and sleeping routine.
If a baby has the habit of sleeping with milk, it is mostly due to a lack of security. Parents should spend more time with their baby and tell them that their mother is there when they sleep. You can rest assured and let the baby develop the habit of falling asleep independently.
