Role of Prebiotic hmo presented in breast milk

The feeling of becoming a mother for the first time is pure bliss. The first smile, the first word, the first walk, everything is so beautiful. Every pregnancy is different and so is every baby. When a woman embarks on the motherhood journey, she has her own fears- whether she will be a good mom or not. As a first-time mom, I was scared too. You have your newborn in your hands who is completely dependent on you. I started researching the right food, foods to avoid, and so on. Thanks to my Pediatrician, who answered all my queries each time I had one. My Pediatrician helped me understand the importance of the right nutrition for my baby. Breast milk is the very first food for the baby. It contains prebiotic HMOs which is the 3rd largest component present in breast milk. Prebiotic HMOs help in improving the good bacteria in the baby’s gut and boost immunity. This means lesser chances of the baby catching any infection. I learned some really valuable lessons as a first-time mom, which I wish each to-be-mom can know in the right time.
