1. Breastfeeding is tricky.
1. It is not recommended that Ma Bao breast-feed her baby during confinement, let alone walk around with her baby. This will not only make you very tired, but also form the habit that the baby needs to walk around to eat milk or sleep. Cry as soon as you put it down, take it and leave. During confinement, you can take the posture of lying on your side to feed. The baby and mother face each other, and both of them are sideways. Roll up a bag and put it behind the baby to prevent it from turning back. Not only will it not be too tiring, but it will also help Ma Bao recover after delivery.
2. If you are breastfeeding with your baby's posture, you need to pay attention to it: the baby and mother stick their chests to the chest, and the abdomen sticks to the abdomen, and the baby's chin sticks to the mother's chest. The baby's head and body are in a straight line. When breastfeeding, remember to hold your baby's head with your hands.
3. Remember to help the baby stand up, gently burp, or hold it for a while, because the newborn baby's stomach capacity is relatively small and horizontal. If you eat too much, inhale air when sucking milk, or jump all the time after eating, it will cause vomiting, so burping or holding vertically can effectively alleviate the situation of spitting milk.
2. Breast-feeding methods for newborns
1, Time: At present, breastfeeding is advocated immediately after delivery, and normal full-term newborns can breastfeed within half an hour of birth, which can not only prevent neonatal hypoglycemia, but also promote breast milk secretion. The child's sucking can also stimulate the mother to secrete milk, which is a good start for breastfeeding. Early breastfeeding can reduce postpartum hemorrhage of mothers.
2. Methods: In the correct breastfeeding method, the thumb and other four fingers of one hand should be placed above and below the chest respectively, and the chest should be held up into a straight cone, and it must be close to Mu Ying, with the head and shoulders facing the chest. When breastfeeding, the mother must relax, lean forward slightly, hold the baby's neck and back with her palm, and hold the baby's head with her four fingers. When breastfeeding, pick up the baby and feed it day and night. The juice on the empty side is empty, which can better stimulate the mammary gland to secrete again. Wash before feeding, squeeze out a few drops first, and then let the children eat.
3, breastfeeding times: newborns should start breastfeeding after birth, and irregular feeding should be implemented according to needs. Babies need frequent breastfeeding from 4 to 8 days after birth to promote the rapid increase of breast milk. For sleepy or quiet babies, breast-feeding should be done regularly during the day to meet the nutrition needed for their growth and development.
4, feeding at night: postpartum fatigue, plus feeding and changing diapers during the day, my mother is very sleepy at night. When the child cries at night, the mother will feel very annoyed. Sometimes putting a pacifier into a child's mouth makes the child stop crying after eating milk, and the mother may fall asleep again, which is very dangerous. Because the baby is very close to the mother when feeding, the sleeping mother doesn't know even if her chest is pressed against the child's nostril, so tragedy may occur. In order to avoid this kind of thing, mother can sit up when nursing at night.
3. The misunderstanding of breastfeeding.
1. If the colostrum is not clean, squeeze it out.
When the baby was born, the mother's milk was yellow and thick. Some people will feel unclean and squeeze out. I don't know that colostrum is excellent for babies. Breast milk is amazing. It can "automatically" adjust its composition according to the changes of baby's growth and development. Its yellow and thick color is not the "poor" milk, but the low immunity of newborns, so the mother's colostrum will contain more immune factors.
2. Feed regularly
Many new mothers are inexperienced, afraid that their children will not have enough to eat or eat too much, and they will feed mechanically in strict accordance with the regulations in the parenting manual. In fact, the interval between breastfeeding is determined by the feelings of the baby and the mother. Whenever the baby cries because of hunger, or the mother feels that her chest is full, she should breastfeed, instead of rigidly stipulating the time, that is, breastfeeding on demand.
Feeding on demand can not only supplement nutrition for the baby at any time, promote the baby's physical development, but also promote the continuous secretion of mother's milk. Therefore, it is convenient for mothers to breastfeed at any time after delivery.
3, night milk should wake up the baby to eat
Some little guys sleep at night, and their mothers are worried about the baby's malnutrition, so they wake up the sleeping baby. As a result, they are not practical when they sleep again. What needs to be reminded to mothers here is that if the little guy is not hungry, he can sleep well until dawn! If the mother is really worried about the baby's malnutrition, she can appropriately increase the number and frequency of feeding according to the baby's needs during the day.
4. The quality of the milk sucked by the breast pump is not good.
Compared with the baby sucking directly, the milk squeezed out is slightly inferior. Because something may get on the bottle during milking, the possibility of pollution is even greater. But even so, milk is far superior to other foods. Moreover, its living cells still exist, especially if it is not frozen, but at room temperature, or the milk squeezed out to feed the baby immediately is still of good quality. If it is only refrigerated, there are still living cells, which will not be completely destroyed and nutrients will not be lost. Milk will be kept for a long time, and it can be kept in the refrigerator for up to eight days.
5. Breastfeeding can lead to chest deformation.
What really causes breast deformation is pregnancy, not breastfeeding. The changes in the chest begin to change slowly during pregnancy and are influenced by progesterone. Whether a mother chooses breastfeeding or not, she should take good care of her breasts. If the mother doesn't want the chest to be seriously deformed, she can take some effective preventive measures, such as insisting on wearing supportive underwear, learning the correct posture of nursing the baby, and massaging the chest appropriately.
6. Mothers should wash their breasts before each feeding.
It can be said that breastfeeding is the most convenient for both mother and baby! The feeding of milk powder needs special attention to cleanliness, because there is no guarantee that the baby will not be infected. On the other hand, breast milk can protect babies from bacteria. Cleaning the chest before feeding every time will not only increase unnecessary trouble, but also wash off the protective oil.
7. After the mother is ill, she can't breastfeed the baby any more.
Mother is sick and needs to breastfeed her baby, especially if she has a cold, which will not affect breastfeeding. If mother coughs and sneezes at home with a cold, these bacteria already exist at home. If these live antibody cells are not given to the baby, the baby will have no way to resist these diseases, and his body is more likely to be infected with his mother's diseases. At this time, mothers can continue breastfeeding without fear or wearing masks. If the mother needs to take medicine, she can take fenbid, ibuprofen and other drugs without affecting her health and weaning.
4. The benefits of breastfeeding
1, breastfeeding can improve the baby's immune ability.
Breast milk helps the baby's immune system. Every day, the mother's living cells directly enter the child's body, enter his blood, and help his body fight against various diseases.
2. Breastfeeding meets the psychological needs of children.
Children have a strong sucking demand from birth, and this demand will gradually decrease. If we force weaning, he won't get this demand, and there may be some psychological harm.
3. Breast-fed children are healthier.
Breastfed babies are less likely to get cancer in the future, especially childhood cancer, as well as various lung diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. Children will get a lot of help physically, psychologically and spiritually.
4. Breast-fed children have higher IQ.
Scientific research has proved that breast-fed children will have higher IQ.
