Wen 丨 Forest Mommy
Just experienced the hardships of pregnancy, survived morning sickness, survived weight retardation, endured contractions and childbirth, thought that giving birth to a child was the end of pain, did not expect to be the beginning of trouble.
"Pregnant in October, a birth", mothers open milk, nipple cracks, mother wrist (tenosynovitis), cervical spondylosis of sitting down for a long time (looking at the baby), baby crying, old staying up late to affect the mother's sleep, the child's back pain caused by excessive weight...
These sequelae can be a headache.
Many people regard back pain, cervical spondylosis, tenosynovitis as confinement disease, in fact, confinement disease is not so mysterious, it is the consequence that the mother does not rest well with the child after childbirth, after all, feeding the child is no one can replace, the baby has to be fed more than a dozen times a day, some babies even if they do not eat milk, but also the mother to hold ...
How can we make our babies no longer increase the postpartum burden on the mothers? Next, unlock several feeding positions for everyone, master the action essentials, and you can change them when feeding, so that the recovery after childbirth is easier for mothers.
Cradle type
The most commonly used feeding method for mothers is the cradle type, with both hands holding the child like a cradle, letting the baby on their chest, and the forearm and forearm of one hand supporting the baby's head and body.
It is recommended to pad the cushion under the cradle feeding arm, let the baby lie on the mat close to the breast, be sure to remember, do not let any muscle of your body exert power, rely on a small mat, a small quilt to pad it, this is also to alleviate the pain of the mother's nipples, and arm soreness. It is important to know that the principle of breastfeeding is to make yourself comfortable.
Another point to note is that many mothers ask: How can breastfeeding hurt your neck? When breastfeeding, the mothers always can't help but look down at her child like this. After a long time, some symptoms of cervical spondylosis will also appear.
Crossover
Use your hands to hold your baby's nipples, and your arms to drag your baby's neck so that your head is high on the soles of your feet and your body is in a straight line. Mom stimulates the baby's lips with nipple touch; helps the baby to pick it up, and when the baby develops a foraging reflex and opens her mouth, she sends the nipple and most of the areola into the baby's mouth.
The cross type is similar to the cradle type, but it is only to change the other hand, such as the baby eating the left breast, then we use the right arm to support the baby's body, generally used for the cradle type nursing halfway when the arm is tired, change hands to rest.
If Bao Ma's wrist is already scabbarditis, this method of feeding is not very recommended, because it needs to be supported entirely by her own strength. If you are in pain and unwell, you will definitely cause trouble to breastfeeding and annoy you, and protecting yourself is conducive to better feeding.
Olive style
Compared with the cross type, the olive style is a cushion underneath, and the baby is completely placed on the mat, like an athlete holding a rugby ball with his arm, without bearing the weight of the baby's entire body, only need to support the baby's shoulders and neck and head with his hands, so that the mother can feed more easily.
Our breastfeeding principle is not to let any muscle of our body, a long period of force is a state of high length, after childbirth often encounter mother wrist pain ah, said tenosynovitis is also because of long-term holding of children improper force caused.
Therefore, at home, we can use the olive feeding method more, find a suitable place, and let the baby lie down to feed.
Side recumbent
This is my most recommended asana because it no longer requires the mother to exert any effort to feed the child while lying down. The baby and the mother lie on their sides at the same time, the baby faces the mother, if you are afraid of the baby choking, the two can put a cushion under the upper body.
If you sit for a long time, the mother in the confinement says that the bone slit is opened: the finger bone seam is opened to the pelvis. When we sit, all the gravity of the upper body will press against our pelvis. The recovery of the mother's pelvis is also not very good.
So if you lie on your side here, the two pelvises are put together, and there is a good contraction to the pelvis, and the mothers have disappeared in the perineum.
Before there is no pain, using these postures, the mothers can get a good rest, very suitable for the mothers in the confinement.
The correct feeding posture is also convenient for the child to eat better, otherwise the child's posture of latching on the milk is incorrect, the feeding is laborious, the child is laborious, and the mother is also guilty. And if you always feed in one position, the location of the break of the stimulation is also the same, and it is easy to have cracked nipples, which will make feeding particularly painful. We adjust one, sometimes side-down, sometimes cradle, which can also alleviate the damaged area of the mother.
Feeding the hardest, one is that the long time will make the mother back pain, and the other is that the nipple is cracked, this pain, even will make the mothers who have experienced the pain of childbirth to shrink back, you can imagine what kind of experience.
Of course, in order to prevent cracked nipples, we can also take some measures:
Be sure to let the baby's mouth open wider and contain more, and the less painful the nipple is cracked and broken. Stop sucking by touching your finger at the corner of your baby's mouth when you stop feeding. Do not pull your baby straight away from the front of the breast to cause pain and cause the nipple to split.
At the end of the feeding, some cleaning with a hot towel and applying a cream to prevent cracking can also play a protective role.
