Breastfeeding methods and skills, many novice mothers do not have any parenting experience, breast milk is the best nutrition for newborn babies. Many treasure mothers will choose to breastfeed their children. Here are some methods and skills of breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding methods and techniques 1 Breastfeeding techniques and methods
First, take it early. After the delivery of the baby, the mother can be said to be accomplished, and the pain and fatigue in the delivery process often ignore the care of the baby. Some people think that rest is a top priority. Actually, this is not right. After a proper rest, the parturient should shoulder the heavy responsibility of raising the baby and let the baby suck the nipple in time, which is very important for the parturient and breast filling.
Under normal circumstances, babies can breastfeed for half an hour after birth, which can last for half an hour at a time. Even if there is no milk, they should breastfeed. In addition to giving your baby enough breastfeeding times during the day, you should also pay attention to feeding at night, because the production of prolactin at night is 50 times that during the day.
Second, mother and son share the same room. Some people once thought that frequent crying would affect the rest of nursing mothers just after giving birth, so they adopted the method of separating mother from baby and only returned to their mothers when breastfeeding. In fact, it is not good for breastfeeding mothers and babies.
Mother and child touching, baby crying, mother and child looking at each other, baby eating, etc. It can not only enhance the feelings of mother and baby, but also be a good stimulating signal, which can effectively stimulate the lactation system and relieve the resistance of hypothalamus, leading to the increase of prolactin and natural milk secretion.
According to relevant statistics, the lactation time of parturient is over 82.5% in the group with mother and baby in the same room within 48 hours, and 10.5% in the group without mother and baby in the same room. There are significant differences between them. As far as milk production is concerned, the mother-infant rooming group is much better than the non-mother-infant rooming group.
Third, it is particularly important for pregnant women to know the importance of breastfeeding. According to clinical observation, most people who pay attention to breastfeeding actively cooperate with medical staff, actively strive to feed as soon as possible, have a good diet, have a relatively stable mood and feel comfortable.
Unwilling to breastfeed often can't empty the milk in the breast in time, lack enough sucking stimulation, stop the release of reflex prolactin and oxytocin, and reduce the formation and secretion of milk.
Fourth, irregular feeding and on-demand supply have many benefits. In the past, many people thought that regular feeding was beneficial to the secretion of milk, but it was not. Irregular feeding will lead to a large number of prolactin reflex release because babies frequently suck, stimulate and empty their breasts in time, making milk secretion as long as spring water.
5. Keeping breasts healthy is beneficial to lactation. Healthy breasts and mammary glands are the basic conditions for breastfeeding. Maintaining breast hygiene, especially nipple hygiene, and preventing breast extrusion and injury are very important for effectively improving lactation quality.
Sixth, increasing the nutrition of lactating mothers is an important guarantee for breast enhancement. The source of milk comes from the mother, and it comes from how much nutrition the mother ingests.
Seven, fully emptying the breast can promote milk secretion. In the past, many pregnant women thought that if the breasts were emptied, the milk production would be less and less. In fact, this view is wrong. Fully emptying the breast will effectively stimulate the secretion of prolactin and produce more milk.
Eight, the correct breastfeeding method is very important. Because of the high one-child rate in China, most of the parturients have no experience of breastfeeding. As a parturient, we should listen to the propaganda and education of medical staff and correctly master the essentials of breastfeeding. Under the guidance of experienced personnel, the breast is fed in a "C" shape, and the breast is gently lifted to facilitate milk discharge.
Nine, pay attention to the details of breastfeeding. In the early stage of lactation, especially when the amount of milk is insufficient within 1 month after birth, try not to breastfeed with a bottle to avoid nipple illusion and the phenomenon of refusing to eat and sucking breast.
Ten, pay attention to prevent the baby from spitting milk. It is common for babies to spit milk. Because the baby's stomach is horizontal and small, the cardia connecting the esophagus is wide and difficult to close, and the pylorus connecting the small intestine is tight. If the baby inhales more air when eating milk, the milk will easily flow back into his mouth, causing spitting.
Breastfeeding Method Skill 2 Breastfeeding Position
Breastfeeding posture is very important. Mastering the correct feeding posture is more conducive to the baby's nutritional absorption.
1, side-lying (soccer) holding method: let the baby be by your side, support his back with his forearm, and let his neck and head rest on your hand. If you have just recovered from cesarean section, this is a very suitable posture because there is little pressure on the wound.
2, side hug method: you can lie on the bed on your side, let the baby's face face you, put the baby's head in your arms, and make his mouth flush with your nipple. Support your back with a pillow.
3. Cradle hug: Use the inside of your elbow to support your baby's head, make his abdomen close to your body, and support your breast with the other hand. Because there are few exposed parts of the breast, it will be better to take it out for breastfeeding.
4. Rugby posture: Rugby posture is suitable for those BB who have difficulty in breastfeeding, and it can also help mothers observe their children, and the position of BB can be adjusted when the children are breastfeeding.
The steps are to let BB lie on the spacious chair or sofa, put him under your armpit, put his head close to your chest, and support his head and shoulders with his fingers. Then put a pillow under the child's head so that his mouth can touch your nipple.
Breastfeeding method
I believe every mother knows that breastfeeding is good, but when you make up your mind to feed your baby with your own milk, do you know the right way to breastfeed? Don't think that just stuffing the nipple into the baby is the way to feed. When to feed, when to feed and how to pose, these are all exquisite.
Breastfeeding method 1: pay attention to hygiene
Before feeding, mothers must wash their hands and nipples with warm water, and then dry them with a hot towel to prevent sweat or dirt and bacteria from entering the baby's body through the mouth. In addition, gently press the breast before feeding, squeeze out the first few drops of milk, and then start breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding method 2: the posture should be correct.
In the first few days after delivery, due to fatigue and weakness, you can lie in bed to feed. In the future, I will usually sit in a sitting position, sitting on the bed or armchair, firmly putting one or two cushions behind my back, trying to relax myself and breastfeed with ease and pleasure.
Hold the child with one arm, hold the upper part of the nipple with the index finger and middle finger of the other hand, and press it down slightly with the index finger to keep the nipple slightly away from the baby's nose, to prevent the breast from blocking the child's nostrils, and to prevent the child from choking and spitting milk because the milk is too blunt.
Breastfeeding method 3: pay attention to the time of breastfeeding.
Many parenting experts say that babies should be breastfed every 2-3 hours in the first 3-4 days after birth, about 8 times during the day and maybe 2-3 times at night. When the baby is 3 months old, it is usually fed once every 4 hours, 5 times during the day and 1-2 times at night.
It is suggested that mothers should fix the feeding time to prevent missed feeding or overfeeding. In addition, it should be noted that Bao Ma should not breast-feed her baby when she cries. They must find out whether Chu's baby is hungry, urinating or uncomfortable before taking corresponding actions.
Breastfeeding method 4: add complementary food
Under normal circumstances, even breastfeeding, when the baby is 6 months old, you can start to add complementary food for feeding. Complementary food can provide more yuan and more complete nutrients, including calories, iron and vitamins, and even trace elements such as zinc and copper. Giving different kinds of complementary foods according to different months can make the baby get used to a variety of tastes and avoid the phenomenon of partial eclipse in the future.
Breastfeeding method skill 3: mother's feeding posture
Breast-feeding a baby is hard work. Especially for new mothers, most of them are clumsy at first. If young mothers master the correct feeding posture, it will be of great benefit to lactating mothers and children. Not only can make mother and baby comfortable, but also can effectively avoid the occurrence of breast pain.
1, hug: also called football and rugby. Mother sat up, put a bracket beside her and put the baby under her arm. The baby is lying on the support, facing her, and the mouth is at the height of the nipple.
The mother's feeding arm gently lifts the baby's upper body, and the other hand C lifts the breast to guide the baby to find the nipple. This way can see the baby's mouth clearly, which is suitable for newborn babies to avoid the baby pressing on the mother's abdomen, and it is also suitable for mothers to feed after cesarean section.
2. Leaping: also called leaping. The mother sits up, puts a bracket on her leg, and the baby lies on the bracket. The breast is supported by the C-shaped hand on the nursing side, and the upper part of the baby's body is gently supported by the opposite arm to guide the baby to find the nipple. In this way, the baby's mouth can be seen clearly, and the nipple is obviously exposed, which is beneficial to the baby's grasp and flexible operation with both hands. It is suitable for newborn babies or premature babies.
3, cradle: mom sits up, puts a bracket on her leg, and the baby lies on the bracket. The breast-feeding arm gently lifts the baby's upper body, and the other hand C-lifts the breast to guide the baby to find the nipple. This method is suitable for skilled babies or older babies, and the hands holding the chest can also pinch the baby's little hands and feet for touching, which is beneficial to the baby's development.
4. Side-lying type: the mother lies on her side, the support is placed on her chest, and the body lies on her side. The baby faces the breast, one hand holds the baby's body, and the other hand sends the nipple to the baby's mouth.
This feeding method is suitable for early feeding, as well as for mothers who have cesarean section and those who are tired at night. Be sure to stay awake when feeding in this position, so as to avoid accidents caused by choking due to breast blockage of baby's nose and mouth.
Mom, hold the baby.
The baby's head and body are horizontal, and the head and abdomen are vertical; The baby's face is facing the breast and the nose is facing the nipple; The mother holds the baby's head, shoulders and buttocks and holds the baby close to herself.
Chest-lifting method
When breastfeeding, hold the breast with your hands in a C-shape. The thumb is placed above the breast, and the other four fingers support the base of the breast and lean against the chest wall below the breast. Gently press the breast with two fingers to improve the shape of the breast and make it easy for the baby to hold it. Don't hold the fingers of the breast too close to the nipple, so as not to press the mammary duct and affect the baby's connection.
