Although the mother had to work after a period of maternity leave runs out, human milk can be given by way of providing breast milk stored in the form of milking. Milked breast milk can start saving since one month before the mother returns to work.

How to store breast milk milking can be done using clean plastic bag and freeze them in a freezer. Frozen breast milk can last for six months. During the working mothers, breast milk is still milking at least four times a day in order to keep milk production smoothly. Storage of human milk in the same way that the freeze.

Currently working mothers, breast milk that has been frozen can be given to children under five with the first thaw and warm them by soaking them in a container of warm water. Give milk to babies with a spoon so as not to interfere with the process of breastfeeding. However, when at home, mothers still breastfeed as usual.

At the age of four months should start feeding the baby's first foods such as creamed porridge milk. Human milk is given in accordance with the needs of the baby plus a one-time milk porridge and fruit once. Infants 5-6 months of age can be given milk porridge 2 times a day, and may be supplemented with fruits and eggs.

Breastmilk substitutes are given if it is milk production is not there at all. Given the amount of breast milk substitutes should be calculated according to the nutritional requirements.
Given the amount of breast milk substitutes according to age, among others:
• Age 2-3 months 120-140 ml every time to drink.
• Age 3-4 months 140-160 ml every time to drink.
• Age 4-5 months 160-200 ml every time to drink.
• Age 5-6 months 200-220 ml every time to drink.
• Age> 6 months of 200-250 ml each time to drink.   

Breastfeeding is beneficial for infants and children because it is natural, nutritionally complete, contains antioxidants and immune substances that can prevent many infectious diseases, especially intestinal infections. Breast milk should still be given to infants until six months of age and continues to be given to children under two years old.

Breastfeeding may take a little more effort than formula feeding at first. But it can make life easier once you and your baby settle into a good routine. When you breastfeed, there are no bottles and nipples to sterilize. You do not have to buy, measure, and mix formula. And there are no bottles to warm in the middle of the night. Ways that breastfeeding can make your life easier. 

Formula and feeding supplies can cost well over $1,500 each year, depending on how much your baby eats. Breastfed babies are also sick less often, which can lower health care costs. So, breastfeeding can save money.

Physical contact is important to newborns. It can help them feel more secure, warm, and comforted. Mothers can benefit from this closeness, as well. Breastfeeding requires a mother to take some quiet relaxed time to bond. The skin-to-skin contact can boost the mother’s oxytocin (OKS-ee-TOH-suhn) levels. Oxytocin is a hormone that helps milk flow and can calm the mother.

Breastfeeding can be good for the mother’s health, too. Breastfeeding is linked to a lower risk of these health problems in women:
Type 2 diabetes•
Breast cancer•
Ovarian cancer•
Postpartum depression•
Experts are still looking at the effects of breastfeeding on osteoporosis and weight loss after birth. Many studies have reported greater weight loss for breastfeeding mothers than for those who don’t. But more research is needed to understand if a strong link exists.

The experience of breastfeeding is special for so many reasons, including:
• The joyful bonding with your baby
• The perfect nutrition only you can provide
• The cost savings
• The health benefits for both mother and baby

In fact, breast milk has disease-fighting antibodies that can help protect infants from several types of illnesses. And mothers who breastfeed have a lower risk of some health problems, including breast cancer and type 2 diabetes.
Keep in mind that breastfeeding is a learned skill. It requires patience and practice. For some women, the learning stages can be frustrating and uncomfortable. And some situations make breastfeeding even harder, such as babies born early or health problems in the mother. The good news is that it will get easier, and support for breastfeeding mothers is growing.

Breastfeeding Protects Babies
Early breast milk is liquid gold. Known as liquid gold, colostrum (coh-LOSS-trum) is the thick yellow first breast milk that you make during pregnancy and just after birth. This milk is very rich in nutrients and antibodies to protect your baby. Although your baby only gets a small amount of colostrum at each feeding, it matches the amount his or her tiny stomach can hold. 

Your breast milk changes as your baby grows. Colostrum changes into what is called mature milk. By the third to fifth day after birth, this mature breast milk has just the right amount of fat, sugar, water, and protein to help your baby continue to grow. It is a thinner type of milk than colostrum, but it provides all of the nutrients and antibodies your baby needs.
Breast milk is easier to digest. For most babies – especially premature babies – breast milk is easier to digest than formula. The proteins in formula are made from cow’s milk, and it takes time for babies’ stomachs to adjust to digesting them.
Breast milk fights disease. The cells, hormones, and antibodies in breast milk protect babies from illness. This protection is unique; formula cannot match the chemical makeup of human breast milk. In fact, among formula-fed babies, ear infections and diarrhea are more common. Formula-fed babies also have higher risks of:
Necrotizing (nek-roh-TEYE-zing) entero• colitis (en-TUR-oh-coh-lyt-iss), a disease that affects the gastrointestinal tract in pre-term infants.
Lower respiratory infections•
Atopic dermatitis, a type of skin rash•
Asthma•
Obesity•
Type 1 and type 2 diabetes•
Childhood leukemia •
Breastfeeding has also been shown to lower the risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).
