The scientific community believes that exclusive breastfeeding and continuous breastfeeding provide sufficient nutrition for infants in the first 1000 days of life, which is one of the effective ways to prevent various malnutrition and maternal and child diseases. China citizens' health literacy-basic knowledge and skills (version 20xx) issued by the General Office of the National Health and Family Planning Commission also suggests that children should start breastfeeding as soon as possible after birth. According to the survey of national medical service system, the overall breastfeeding rate in China is 27.8% in China and 38% in the world. However, the clear goal in China's national nutrition plan for 20xx—20xx is 50%. The average breastfeeding rate in China is still at a low level, which is far from the 50% breastfeeding rate in 20xx. This requires our society to increase publicity, education and learning about breastfeeding.
Maybe someone here has something to say. You work in a maternal and child health hospital, of course, you don't need any education. I used to think so. I thought breastfeeding was easy for me. This is a natural thing, and there will definitely be no problem. As a result, when the child was born, he gave me the run. Because I don't know the knowledge of feeding, I feel lucky and don't care about learning, which leads to the first day of colostrum feeding, which is full of frustration. In the next two days, because the baby is not skilled in holding the chest, the child sucks hard, but still can't suck it out and can't help crying. My mother-in-law quickly made me all kinds of milk soup. On the fourth day, I came home from the hospital. There was too much milk and it was blocked. When I arrived at the hospital in the middle of the night, my colleagues in the breast department told me that the diet should follow the principle of gradual progress, and drinking milk soup at birth would make it an artifact to block milk. Fortunately, it was solved in time and did not develop into mastitis. Although life was hectic for a while, supply and demand gradually balanced in the second month. Every time I see the baby's little expression of satisfaction after drinking enough milk, I really feel that angels are on earth.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Just after the second month, the baby began to cry and was very upset when nursing. The baby's stool began to get bad, and the color was thin and green. The elders at home began to question the quality of my breast milk. "Is the baby's milk not enough?" "Isn't the quality of milk bad?" I don't want to give up breastfeeding. After observation and consultation, I finally came to the conclusion that it was caused by flatulence in the baby's stomach. It turns out that the gastrointestinal function of newborns is not perfect, and flatulence is a common cause. Besides, I don't burp every time I feed, and I feed very often, so my baby's stomach must be uncomfortable. Finding the reason, I began to give my child exhaust exercise every day, take pictures of milk burps, and give him medicine to relieve flatulence. I pay more attention to my diet, and eventually these symptoms of my child will gradually disappear. And this 37-degree love has always persisted.
I remember coughing once, and my lungs almost coughed out. After consulting a physician, a Chinese patent medicine with slow but good effect was selected. But I especially want to cough when feeding, for fear of scaring the baby. I had to hold back abruptly, tears streaming down my face and my throat itched like a vine. Looking back, people really have unlimited potential. I really don't know that I have that great ability if I don't force myself.
In just four months of maternity leave, I committed mastitis five times, big and small. The most serious time was that I didn't control the time when I went out to work, resulting in one breast swelling as hard as a stone, but the baby couldn't suck it out. I had a severe fever of 40 degrees for two days, and my family advised me to go to the hospital for infusion. I took the antipyretic, gritted my teeth and sucked slowly with a breast pump. At that time, I felt more painful than having a baby, but I didn't want to give up when I remembered the significance of breast milk to children. After tossing for about an hour, the hard side actually began to take milk out drop by drop. The milk drops are getting bigger and bigger. Although it was slow, I cried excitedly and continued to use breast pumping and hot compress. Finally straight down, finally passed! Chat with colleagues in the breast department after work. She said, "The root of these crimes is that you didn't pay attention to the study of breastfeeding knowledge before. You know that breastfeeding is good, but you don't know what to pay attention to, how to do it, and you don't come to study during hospitalization." Alas, I really regret not going to the pregnant women's school to attend the lecture in advance.
On the way to breast-feeding, I cut through the thorns all the way, forgot the pain of opening milk, blocking milk and mastitis, overcame the struggle of having to get up frequently at night, and insisted on running forward. Seeing the baby nursing in my arms, she babbled happily and made a tone that only the two of us could understand. At this moment, I know that the intimate relationship between mother and child has been established, and the baby can feel my wholehearted attention and love during breastfeeding.
I remember a psychologist said that satisfactory breast milk is the foundation of children's future independence. The child nestled in his mother's arms, satisfied his desire to eat and was comforted. The mother's familiar smell, heartbeat and body temperature give the child the first sense of security when he comes to this world. Of course, I don't need to emphasize the safety and peace of mind of breast milk too much. This unique ration not only saves money and labor, reduces economic pressure, reduces family conflicts and improves the happiness index of marriage. At the same time, with the baby's growth and changes in demand, the proportion of nutrients is constantly changed, so that children can obtain immune factors, enhance their disease resistance, and greatly reduce their anxiety as mothers. At the same time, due to the rising level of prolactin, this kind of peaceful hormone makes me accept postpartum more smoothly. I talked to a friend in obstetrics and gynecology about breastfeeding that I have been insisting on. He praised you for doing a great job and knew that you extended the breastfeeding time. It is also of great benefit to reduce the incidence of ovarian diseases.
Feeding love and persistence, although hard, is extremely warm for me and my baby.
Model essay on National Breastfeeding Publicity Day (2) Breast milk, known as "liquid gold", is the best gift for mothers to give their babies.
"Breast milk is very intelligent, and it will change with the baby's age to adapt to the baby's growth and development." Qiu, director of the Department of Neonatology at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University, said that in addition to being economical, safe and convenient, many scientific studies have shown that the nutrition of breast milk can perfectly match the needs of babies, which is irreplaceable by any other food. Breast milk is rich in anti-infective substances, which can prevent infants from being infected with digestive tract and respiratory diseases and effectively reduce infant mortality. "Some ingredients in breast milk can't be found in any substitutes. Take our department as an example. Babies who eat breast milk spend less time in hospital than those who eat milk powder. Especially premature infants are prone to necrotizing enterocolitis, dyspepsia and other diseases, and breast milk can greatly reduce the incidence of diseases. You see, many advertisements for milk powder are close to breast milk, but they never dare to say that they exceed breast milk. It can be said that breast milk has been imitated and never surpassed. " Qiu said to him.
Breastfeeding can reduce the risk of cold, diarrhea, pneumonia and other diseases in infants, and reduce the occurrence of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in adults. In addition, Qiu said that mother-child communication is the primary condition for the psychological development of infants. In the process of breast-feeding, the stimulation of hearing, sight, touch, taste and smell can promote the development of infants' neurological and cognitive abilities, which can continue to teenagers and even adults.
The World Health Organization advocates to the whole world that exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months and persistent breastfeeding for more than 24 months is the most ideal way for human beings to feed their babies. Unfortunately, however, many babies in China lack breast milk. In 20 19, the Investigation Report on Influencing Factors of Breastfeeding in China released by China Development Research Foundation showed that the exclusive breastfeeding rate of infants in China within six months was only 29.2%, which was lower than the world average of 43% and even lower than the level of nearly 80% in the United States.
"In fact, breastfeeding is not that difficult. Most mothers can breastfeed successfully. However, many novice mothers have misunderstandings about breastfeeding and give up breastfeeding prematurely for various reasons. " Ling Ye said that insufficient milk secretion and chapped nipples are the biggest obstacles to breastfeeding.
"Many mothers think that they have just given birth to a baby with no milk or little milk, and let the baby contact the bottle and milk powder prematurely. In fact, in the first few days after delivery, the baby's stomach is very small, only the size of soybeans. Although the amount of colostrum is small, it has a high nutritional density and can completely fill the baby's stomach. And the sooner you feed your baby, the more conducive it is to promoting breast milk secretion. So now obstetrics requires early sucking, early opening, early stimulation, skin contact and nipple sucking at the first time after delivery, so the first sip of milk is breast milk. During the period from the first day to three to five days after birth, it is a good way to promote breast milk secretion by ensuring 8 to 12 times a day. " Ling Ye said that in order to prevent pain, apart from the correct feeding posture, the baby's mouth should be opened wide, including the mother's entire areola, which can reduce the occurrence of pain.
In addition, to breastfeed, we must avoid some misunderstandings. For example, drinking thick soup can't produce milk, but it can easily lead to poor lactation and mastitis; Seeing the child crying, I thought it was because my breast milk was not enough or the child was not full. Observing whether a child has a good diet depends on objective indicators such as stool, urine, weight and growth curve. Breast-feeding jaundice is not harmful, so it is not recommended to stop breastfeeding; When suffering from the common cold, the specific antibody in the milk can protect the baby from infection and can insist on breastfeeding.
It is reported that May 20th is the 3rd1"National Breastfeeding Publicity Day" with the theme of "Breast milk, maternal love". 1990 May 10, the former Ministry of Health designated May 20th of each year as "National Breastfeeding Publicity Day", which is an important activity set up in China to protect, promote and support breastfeeding, aiming to appeal to the whole society to pay attention to and support the concept of breastfeeding, and it is also a festival dedicated to all breastfeeding mothers and children.
