A woman in order to become a mother
The whole body is doing its best
You must not think of it
When the baby is still in the stomach for 16 weeks
The mother's body is preparing rations for the baby -
breast milk
When breastfeeding is actually started
There are always all kinds of sounds in your ears

"Your breasts are so small, the milk is definitely not good~"
"After weaning, you must discharge the residual milk, otherwise you will get cancer..."
"Just by suckling, the baby will definitely not be able to eat enough!"
This made bao mama, who was already dazed, even more overwhelmed

More breast milk? Less milk for the breast?
Those who talk about this, I'm afraid they haven't even figured out where the milk came from.
Milk is secreted from the acinar vesicles of the breast glands, and the average person has 15 to 20 glands and about 15 to 20 ducts.
Affected by hormone levels, after the pregnant mother gives birth to the baby and when the baby sucks the nipple, the pituitary gland will secrete prolactin, and the mother's acinar bubbles will produce milk, from the milk tube to the nipple.
The size and shape of the chest have nothing to do with the amount of milk, and the larger part of the chest is only fat.

Is Eva hungry again when she cries?
The reason why the child cries is more, why must there be not enough milk?
The criterion for judging whether the milk is enough is not "you feel, I feel, mother-in-law feels", but "baby feels".
If the baby meets the following 3 indicators, it means that the mother's milk is enough:
The baby's expression is satisfied and happy after feeding, and he will spit out the nipple on his own;
After eating, you can sleep for two or three hours, and your weight is also increasing;
Normal urination, urinating more than 7 times a day, about 4 to 6 wet diapers, stool is generally not so accurate, because some babies will hold up for two or three days as the month increases.

Just eat breast milk, the baby is not full?
0 to 6 months: exclusive breastfeeding is possible
Exclusive breastfeeding means feeding only breast milk without adding any extra food and drink, including water.
Whether in terms of quantity or nutrients, the milk secreted by the mother changes according to the needs of the baby's growth, and the mother secretes as much as she needs, which is completely enough to eat.
6 months to 1 year old: mainly breast milk, appropriate addition of complementary foods
Breast milk after 6 months is also nutritious, but it cannot meet the baby's growth needs, so it is necessary to add complementary foods at the beginning, but before the age of 1, it is still mainly breast milk.
1 to 2 and a half years old: mainly complementary food, supplemented by breast milk
After the age of 1, the supplementary food will gradually become a staple food, and breast milk will slowly become a complementary food.
The World Health Organization recommends that breastfeeding to two to two and a half years is best.

Heard that you can't feed right after taking a shower?
Of course!
First of all, bathing is impossible to change the nutritional composition of milk.
Secondly, after the bath, the amount of milk may be more secreted, because the bath promotes blood circulation.
In addition, don't be afraid that breast milk will be hot or cool after bathing, during the bath, the body temperature of the human body is not significantly changed, and breast milk has not changed from temperature.
When you need to breastfeed, feel free to feed!

Before feeding, wipe it clean with a wet wipe?
counterproductive!
Under normal circumstances, there is no need to deliberately wash the breast before feeding, let alone wipe it with wet paper towels, because the bacteria on the skin of the breast are easy to establish the baby's intestinal flora, and a rub is destroyed.
Breastfeeding mothers can do personal hygiene and cleanliness just like normal people.

Mastitis can not be fed?
In the early stages of mastitis, it is recommended that the mother breastfeed in time, because the baby sucking is conducive to protecting the mother's breast system.
Mastitis occurs for several days, the milk is squeezed out with thick liquid, this situation should not be fed.

After weaning, the residual milk "toxic" to be discharged?
Nonsense!
Residual milk is white, that is, the milk that remains in the milk tube after weaning, will be slowly absorbed by the body, and there is no need to drain it.
Residual milk will be yellow because it stays in it for a long time, and there is no new milk to make up, and the moisture in the milk will be absorbed by the breast tissue first, so the residual milk will be thicker than normal milk.
Besides, originally weaned and then went to drain the residual milk, be careful to be stimulated to cause the breast to produce milk again, and finally more and more drainage...
Not draining residual milk does not cause breast cancer, because breast cancer and milk do not have a half-cent relationship!
However, the mother can have a normal breast ultrasound examination three months after weaning, which can rule out some breast diseases.

After weaning, the D cup said no, it was all a nuisance caused by breastfeeding?
After weaning, the breasts changed from D to A, and the original "little pride" quietly lowered its head...
This is a hormonal hand, and it has nothing to do with breastfeeding itself!
With the increase of pregnancy hormones, the weight of the breast tissue of pregnant mothers will increase from an average of 200g to 400g to 500g, and the suspensory ligaments that naturally support the breasts will be stretched, and the skin on the surface of the breasts will be correspondingly enlarged.
However, after the baby is weaned, the hormone level drops, the breast tissue will "shrink", the skin and suspension ligaments of the breasts that are enlarged will not return to their original state, and the breasts will naturally become loose and sagging.

The mother is sick, and breastfeeding will be transmitted to the baby?
Colds and fevers can be fed
If the mother has a cold, it can be used, provided that the medicine can be used during lactation.
If you are still not at ease, you can take the medicine after feeding, and then drink more water, so that the drug content of the milk excreted will be less.
It is recommended that the mother cold should be cured, standing up may become more and more serious, but it will affect the secretion of milk.
Hepatitis B moms look at the situation to breastfeed
If it is a small sanyang, it is generally possible to breastfeed.
Hepatitis B mothers can go to the hospital to test the virus content in colostrum, and if they are qualified, they can breastfeed normally.
And the baby born to the hepatitis B mother will receive the first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine 24 hours after birth, and will also inject hepatitis B high-efficiency immunoglobulin, which can block the virus 99%.
Therefore, hepatitis B mothers are generally able to breastfeed, but pay attention to:
Wash your hands before feeding;
cracked nipples or ulcers in the mouth of infants, suspension of breastfeeding;
Separation of supplies for infants and mothers;
Infants are tested regularly for hepatitis B antigen.
Breastfeeding isn't just a matter for moms
It needs the joint help of "Super Daddy" and "Family and Friend Group"
Even if you can't do it yourself and fight it yourself
Don't forget to give her more care while breastfeeding
"Hard work, nursing mother!"
