Feeding posture, are you in the right position?
The most overlooked aspect during confinement is the breastfeeding position. Don't underestimate the breastfeeding posture, especially for new mothers in confinement, incorrect breastfeeding posture will cause damage to the body.
As the saying goes, "Feeding is not good, and the arm hurts until it is old." "A large number of women have wrist pain, back pain and other problems after giving birth, and the pain is for decades, which is caused by not paying attention during the confinement. Once you have confinement disease, you can only raise your body by experiencing pregnancy, childbirth, confinement, and confinement again.
Optimal feeding position
In many film and television works, people often see that the breastfeeding posture is hugging. But in reality, the best feeding position is lying down. That is, the mother and the baby lie face to face on their sides, chest to chest, abdomen to abdomen, nose tip to nipple. Use pillows and other objects on the baby's back to give some support, so that the baby can maintain a lying position on the side (not easy to choke). Lying down feeding is the mother's least weight-bearing and most relaxed breastfeeding method.
Correct breast-holding position
Although babies are born with a natural nature to breastfeed, in the early days, mothers still have to assist babies to breastfeed correctly. Correct lactation position will not only reduce the pain of cracked nipples in the early stages of lactation, but also better stimulate the breast to produce a milkshot reflex.
The correct way to breastfeed is that most of the areola and nipples are contained in the baby's mouth, so that the baby's mouth is slightly turned out like a small fish when feeding. The simplest and roughest way is to seize the opportunity when the baby opens its mouth to cry and send the nipple areola into the baby's mouth when the baby's mouth is wide open. Help babies establish the right way to feed. After a stage of habit formation, the baby will master the right way on his own.
