Many mothers will find that their milk is too sufficient when feeding their children after giving birth, and there will often be a lot left, so many mothers will feel very wasteful, so they made such a decision, that is, to take the remaining breast milk to the child's father to drink. While the problem of waste is solved, is this decision really the right one?
Xiao Luo just gave birth not long ago, and the mothers in the same ward simply did not have enough milk for their children to drink, and sometimes they also needed to drink some milk powder for their children. But Xiao Luo is just the opposite, her milk is too much, sometimes after feeding, there are also cases of milk rise. In order to avoid blocking the milk, there was no way for Xiao Luo to suck out the milk and store it in the refrigerator.
But this situation will always exist, the milk in the refrigerator is also full, the child can not drink so much, if it is thrown away and it is very wasteful. After understanding it, the mother-in-law said: "Let the child and his father drink it, they are all husband and wife, what is this kind of thing." ”
Xiao Luo also felt that this was indeed a good idea, so he heated the milk in the refrigerator and gave it to her husband. At first, he was afraid that his husband would be disgusted, so he did not tell his husband directly, but after drinking it, his husband found that the taste was obviously different from the milk he usually drank, so he asked Xiao Luo what kind of milk it was. Xiao Luo directly said that this was breast milk, who knew that the husband immediately spit out the milk he drank, with a look of disgust.
The husband also said directly: "Why give me such a disgusting thing to drink?" Xiao Luo was also very aggrieved, she just didn't want to waste it, she didn't expect her husband to be so disgusted. Knowing that this is the result, I might as well throw it away.
In fact, many women now have this mentality of not wanting to waste, so they give these remaining breast milk to their husbands to drink. But have the mothers ever thought that their husbands are really willing to drink? Although they are already husband and wife, it is inevitable that there will be some embarrassment in the face of this kind of thing.
I believe that every family does not want to have contradictions because of this, so in the face of this situation, mothers should still seriously consider the endless breast milk, really want to give to the father?
Why can't the baby's endless breast milk be drunk by the father?
The reason why dad can't drink breast milk is because this practice can easily cause conflicts between husband and wife. Because men are often very face-conscious, they naturally don't want to leave a bad impression on others. If you say that you grab milk and drink with your children in your life, then it is certainly easy for outsiders to look down.
And once such a situation occurs, then Dad feels that his dignity has been lost, so how can he get a foothold outside? So for most dads, they're reluctant to drink their wives' milk.
If the wife feels that this will waste milk, and wants her husband to drink milk, it will only make the contradiction between the two people deeper and deeper, so that the family atmosphere will become disharmonious, which is not a good thing for anyone.
So there is no need for the mother to force the father to drink breast milk, if the child can not drink the breast milk, it is completely possible to express the breast milk and then put it in the refrigerator. Know that the shelf life of breast milk is not so short, which can completely allow the child to continue to drink next time.
There's one more thing we need to know, and that's that breast milk isn't as good as you might think. Although breast milk has a lot of nutrients, in terms of taste, this kind of thing is actually very difficult to drink. Breast milk is different from the milk and yogurt seen on the market, because the milk drinks purchased on the market are processed, so the taste is often relatively good.
And if you really want your dad to drink breast milk, then there will definitely be a situation that is difficult to swallow. So if women really have excess breast milk, then they can donate it. This not only saves resources, but also benefits others.
Of course, we also need to understand one thing, that is, when children are in infancy, their bodies are in the process of developing, at this time their resistance is relatively poor, and a little inattention is likely to cause problems in their bodies.
So if you let your dad drink breast milk, it's likely that bacteria will remain on your mom's body. If you continue to let your child drink your mother's milk at this time, it is easy to get infected with bacteria, which is why some children are prone to disease. So from this point of view, it can be seen that there is no need for dad to drink the rest of mom's breast milk, which is not a good thing.
So for whatever reason, we shouldn't let dads drink breast milk. Although we also need to save some money and use the remaining breast milk where it is used, there is no need for us to let Dad drink breast milk on the principle of not wasting. Because this practice is often unhygienic and unconscionable. So don't force dad to drink breast milk, there's no benefit.
