From the day they started breastfeeding, mothers have a stomach question: how can it be so difficult to breastfeed, which seems simple and natural? All kinds of problems come and go, the mother's own breasts, the baby's feeding, the emotional aspect... One after another, the eyes are overwhelmed.
Whether we are in the background or privately, we have received a lot of consultation from our mothers, and after careful answers, we always feel that we have not done enough work. So we sorted out some more focused questions to solve some questions that most mothers have during the breastfeeding process, hoping to let everyone spend the lactation period with peace of mind.
Mothers are most worried: what if the baby does not have enough milk to eat?
There is no suspense, and the milk is at the top of the list. The biggest worry for new mothers is that they don't have enough milk to feed their children. Breastfeeding formula and feeling sorry for the baby, there is a strong sense of guilt, so what should we do at this time?
What mothers need to know is that the secretion of milk is regulated by the stimulation of the baby's sucking and the mother's own hormones. First of all, believe that your milk is enough (the power of the mind is very powerful), and then hold the baby to the chest for the baby to suck, if you feel that the baby is not full at this time, you can use formula to make up for the insufficient part. In order to avoid nipple confusion and difficulty in chasing milk later, you can use a small spoon to feed milk powder, in short, ensuring your child's nutritional supply is the key.
But also need to pay attention to the mothers is that the baby just a few days after birth, is the peak of jaundice, let the child eat more rows, is also a means to reduce yellowing.
If the new mother has less milk, in addition to sucking more stimulation, you should also relax your mood, adjust your body as soon as possible, let the mammary glands unblock, and soon the milk secretion will increase. Don't worry, don't worry, believe in yourself!
Moms are most afraid: choking on milk, mastitis
The mother I have seen the most frequent milk blocking is once every three days, and it must be unblocked every three days, which lasted for nearly a month (this mother is a very large case of milk, which is also a special case), although it does not develop mastitis, but the process is also quite painful. There are also mastitis in the early stage of breast redness, hard lumps, mid-term shiver fever, breast pain, and even late breast abscess mothers, everyone talks about mastitis discoloration, afraid that this grinding "little goblin" will come to the door again.
Remind everyone, if there is a milk stasis hard lump, must be eliminated in the bud in time (you can find a reliable prolactin to help dredge the milk, generally once OK), if the suppuration infection, spend a lot of money not to say, really special guilt...
Here we talk about preventive measures for mastitis:
● Prevent external forces from hitting the breast, prevent children from kicking and sleeping at night;
● Avoid greasy and spicy, fat and sweet taste;
● Less sulking, avoid liver depression.
Mothers are most confused: does breast hyperplasia affect milk production?
Many mothers have breast hyperplasia before pregnancy, may not be very aware, to lactation, when the milk is inflated, the part of breast hyperplasia will become larger with the full milk, sometimes touching the feeling of hard lumps, and after the baby eats milk, the hard lumps of the hyperplasia site will disappear. So what is the effect of this hyperplasia?
In fact, breast hyperplasia during lactation or pregnancy has no impact on lactation, we feed normally, if the milk is stasis and hyperplasia can not be distinguished, do not worry that you can go to the hospital to do a breast B ultrasound, very clear can be distinguished.
Breast hyperplasia during lactation, mothers do not have to pay attention to the heart, many times with the passage of feeding time, to the end of the lactation period, hyperplasia will gradually disappear or become smaller, so breastfeeding, for women is a great benefit.
Mothers are most puzzled: why does the breast pump pump less milk, can the baby eat enough?
Many mothers will find that they can suck out the bottom of the bottle by using a breast pump, and it is very difficult to suck again, so they worry that the baby will not have enough to eat when feeding.
First of all, we must understand that the breast pump uses negative pressure to pull the nipple and excrete milk, and there is a technical difference from the baby's feeding. Many mums with a lot of milk also have difficulty pumping with a breast pump. Moreover, sometimes the flare caliber of the breast pump is too large or too small, which will also affect the discharge of milk, so it cannot be "used as a hero with a breast pump".
To judge whether the baby can eat enough, we have several small standards, you can refer to:
★ The baby is satisfied after feeding or can fall asleep quietly;
★ The baby is in a good mental state when playing;
★ There are 1 to 2 times of stool every day, and there are enough urine to urinate enough to two-thirds of 6 diapers (because the diapers of different manufacturers are different, so this is a rough idea), there is no hungry green stool;
★ Weight gain steadily, within the normal growth curve.
Moms have the most concern: weight gain
Mothers are always worried that their babies are growing slowly and small, and even worry about feeling that their children are not growing up for a few days. In fact, it is not necessary, each child has its own growth rules, adequate feeding, sufficient sleep, enough exercise, and there is no problem with the growth and development of children.
If the child's weight has become a problem that is particularly bothering you, you can take some measures, that is, use the breast pump to suck off part of the front milk, let the baby eat more fat-rich after-milk, and the baby's weight will grow faster. However, this method is not recommended for long-term use, the composition of the milk before and after the milk is different, or the baby is better ingested.
Mothers are most surprised: the milk is also uncomfortable
"Little grass cow mother" may never understand the pain of "big cow mother"! Milk is not only easy to accumulate milk, but also frequently swells milk, bringing great inconvenience to the normal life of mothers. So how to solve the problem of milk?
The best way to do this is to lengthen the feeding interval and reduce the frequency of feeding. If the swelling is uncomfortable, squeeze out a little bit to balance the milk production and the baby's needs. Slowly adjust to a comfortable state - not much milk, just right!
Many times, we bravely face that the difficulties have been solved halfway. Especially during the special time of lactation, it is more necessary for mothers to be strong in their hearts to solve one problem after another. Although the process is very hard, but watching the cute appearance of the baby taking a big bite in the arms, it must be worth it, believe me!
