Some time ago, Song Dandan's daughter-in-law Bogu shared her breastfeeding experience.
In the video, Bogu Suyan appeared in the camera, and his stomach was significantly smaller, and his postpartum recovery was very good.
However, when it comes to breastfeeding, Bogu is "spitting out bitter water", saying that "there will be many people who tell you that it hurts to have a child, but few people will tell you that breastfeeding will hurt so much.".
She also mentioned that when the first child was born, she had a deep understanding that the baby would see blood as soon as she bit down, and she needed to use some auxiliary equipment to alleviate the pain.
Indeed, for many mothers, the experience of breastfeeding may not be so good, from breast swelling to nipple cracking, and even mastitis, the path of breastfeeding can be described as twists and turns, and it has to suffer various tests.
However, in fact, breastfeeding pain is not normal, and it is not advisable to endure the pain of breastfeeding.
Just like a small pebble in the shoe, we should pour the stone out, instead of enduring the pain and continue to walk, breastfeeding is the same, we should find the cause of the pain, solve the problem in time, and make breastfeeding a happy and wonderful experience.
Cleft nipples: mostly incorrect breastfeeding posture
The so-called "cracked nipple" refers to the appearance of small cracks and bleeding on the surface of the nipples of nursing mothers, most of which are caused by incorrect breastfeeding posture and the wrong position of the baby's nipple.
When properly inserted, the nipple should be at the back of the baby's mouth, most of the areola is held in the baby's mouth, relying on the rolling of the tongue to suck to obtain milk, so it will not cause harm to the mother.
However, some novice mothers who have just given birth will often choose side-lying feeding when breastfeeding, because of the relatively large physical exertion, due to the wrong breastfeeding posture, the baby cannot contain the nipple well, plus the newborn sucks more frequently, which can easily lead to a cracked nipple.
In addition, some babies may also have too short tongue ties, or the mother's nipples are flat and sunken, which will also cause the baby to be unable to properly contain the nipples, making the mother feel pain.
To prevent cracked nipples, we must first maintain a correct breastfeeding position, preferably sitting on the sofa when feeding, or leaning on the head of the bed to relax the body enough.
Secondly, when the baby sucks, we should pay attention to the way it contains the nipple, so that the baby's upper and lower lips wrap most of the areola to avoid touching the nipple and causing pain.
Finally, we should also pay attention to the cleaning of the nipples, and applying some lanolin cream after washing can also prevent cracked nipples.
Breast tenderness: may be localized milk stasis
After giving birth to a baby, many mothers may have breast swelling and pain, which is a normal reaction caused by local milk stasis.
It should be noted that the structure of the breast is complex, if swelling and pain occur, the mother should not intervene inappropriately, or overtreat, especially to avoid self-massage, otherwise under the action of improper external force, not only can not discharge milk, but may damage the breast, increase the risk of mastitis, breast abscess.
The most effective way to solve the breast swelling pain is to breastfeed as soon as possible after childbirth, if the milk opening time is early, the baby sucks fully, which can greatly alleviate the problem of milk swelling in the later stage of the mother, in case the baby cannot eat, we can also use the breast pump to discharge the milk.
In general, breast swelling and pain problems can be completely resolved through normal breastfeeding, warm compresses through towels before breastfeeding, and cold compresses after milking to relieve pain, which can also alleviate pain.
In case the mother finds that the symptoms cannot be alleviated, we must seek the help of a professional doctor in time and ask a professionally qualified lactator for treatment to avoid inflammation caused by milk spillage. What if I can't breastfeed?
Although breastfeeding has many benefits for your baby's development, sometimes moms may be in excruciating pain or unable to breastfeed consistently due to some other factor.
In this case, it is actually more recommended to use bottle feeding breast milk, or to use formula mixed feeding.
Although the healthy growth of the baby is very important, but the mother's feelings are also very important, if the breastfeeding experience is very poor, it may be counterproductive, dragging down the baby's growth and development.
And after so many years of development, the nutrition and safety of formula milk powder are not bad, although it will increase a certain economic burden, but it can greatly alleviate the trouble of Bao Ma.
Of course, if conditions permit, if you can breastfeed your baby, we still have to try to breastfeed, if the posture is correct, breastfeeding will not cause pain, but also to establish an intimate connection with the baby.
Crooked Mom Conclusion:
Breastfeeding has a sense of pain, there must be a problem, we must not endure the pain of feeding, as long as we find the problem, take targeted solutions, breastfeeding can also be very "comfortable".
