Mothers should pay attention to the matter of feeding night milk to the baby, there are cases of suffocation caused by night milk feeding the baby, so what should the mother pay attention to, I will bring you the precautions for feeding night milk, let's take a look.
What to do about night feeding in winter
Many mothers want to ask, the baby will die from breastfeeding?
It is not uncommon for babies to die due to improper night feeding by novice mothers. When feeding night milk, new mothers need to pay attention to the following practices that cannot be done.
Case Playback:
One night last November, a mother in Changsha, Hunan Province, fell asleep again after feeding. It was very tiring to carry a baby, and she often fell asleep while feeding.
But this night, when she woke up, she found that her baby had fallen asleep forever - the baby had suffocated to death because he was not detected in time.
Night feeding is important!
Prolactin is secreted more vigorously at night than during the day, so it is important for new mothers to breastfeed their babies at night, which not only allows them to get more milk, but is also an important measure to promote successful breastfeeding.
In addition, breast milk is better for your baby's digestion and absorption than formula, so breastfed babies usually wake up at night to feed.
However, mothers must pay attention to safety when breastfeeding at night to prevent danger and tragedy.
How to feed night milk for a new mother
After feeding, it is best to pick it up and pat it on the back. "Babies don't have the cough reflex as much as adults, they can't cough out, and they can easily choke after choking. ”
According to experts, the baby itself is not mature, and it is generally recommended to pick it up and pat the back after feeding, and pay attention to see if the child's breathing is uniform and whether the face is normal.
After feeding at night, the mother can burp the baby while half-lying down. Place your baby on your shoulder, rest your chin on your mother's shoulder, and gently pat your baby's back.
Mothers will often find that patting, patting, the baby's burp comes out, and the baby falls asleep.
Sit up and feed your baby
Generally, the baby has the ability to raise his head to avoid and push away the mother's breast with his hands or wake up the mother with body movements.
Even if you are sleepy at night and the weather is cold in winter, you should sit up and hold your baby to feed.
The first thing to choke on milk is to pat your baby on the back:
If it is because of choking on milk, parents can turn the baby over and pat him or her on the back to let the milk flow out. Remove the contents of your baby's mouth.
If you notice that your baby has stopped breathing, you need to give emergency rescue breaths:
1. Make sure the trachea is unblocked, put your arm under the baby's back, lift his jaw, and hold the baby flat.
2. Confirm breathingPut your cheeks and ears close to your baby's mouth and nose to confirm the sound of breathing. It takes 5 seconds to confirm whether the baby's chest and stomach are rising and falling, and if there is no breathing, artificial respiration is performed.
3. Cover the baby's mouth and nose with the mouth at the same time for the second artificial respiration, and blow for 1~1.5 seconds to make the baby's chest slightly bulge. Repeat twice.
4. Confirm the pulse Put the index finger and middle finger together and press the baby's upper arm artery (the inside of the arm above the elbow) or thigh artery (the root of the thigh) for 5 seconds to confirm the pulse. If you can't feel it, give a cardiac massage.
5. Artificial respiration according to the method of "1, 2, exhalation-", if the baby has a pulse, then carry out artificial respiration according to the rhythm of "1, 2, exhalation-" that stops for 2 seconds and blows 1 time. Until the ambulance arrives, it lasts.
Regardless of the suffocation caused by any situation, once parents find out, they must send their children to the hospital as soon as possible while dealing with them urgently.
Nighttime feeding
Mothers, please don't make these mistakes
1. Sleep in a daze and stuff the nipple into the baby's mouth
Because babies are breastfeeding on demand day and night, as long as the baby moves a little at night, the new mother reflexively stuffs the nipple into the baby, even if she is not fully awake.
This is very inappropriate, because usually the baby will "eat a few bites and fall asleep unconsciously", if the mother is also confused and fall asleep again, the breast may hinder the baby's normal breathing, or even cause an accident.
This kind of example is not uncommon, and I hope that new mothers will pay close attention to it.
2. Don't change positions with the baby at night, so that the baby only eats milk on one side
Sometimes the baby has to eat two or three times a night, even if only one side is eaten at a time, it means that the mother has to pour two or three times to sleep in the position, affecting sleep and troublesome, some mothers simply do not move the nest overnight, but we do not know that such consequences are not good for the mother and the baby.
First of all, the size of the breasts on both sides of the mother will be uneven, and the side that has not sucked overnight will be swollen and painful; the baby has been breastfeeding on one side for a long time, which will also cause the phenomenon of partial head and face size, which will affect the normal development of the baby.
Novice mothers must not cause irreparable consequences due to temporary laziness, and should always pay attention to turning over the baby when sleeping, and turn over themselves.
3. The milk sprays the baby's face and doesn't know it
Some novice mothers have too much milk, often squirting on their own, and if they don't have time to put it in the baby's mouth when feeding the baby night milk, they will spray the baby's face all over the face.
Although milk is a good thing, if it is sprayed into your baby's nostrils or ears, it is likely to choke your baby, cause ear inflammation or even form milk ringworm.
Therefore, mothers with too much milk should not be confused when feeding night milk!
4. Let the baby sleep with the nipple
Most babies will eat and sleep at the same time, and some mothers are afraid that the baby will wake up and keep the baby in the nipple, which is very wrong.
It not only affects the baby's smooth breathing and leads to poor sleep, increasing the risk of suffocation, but also the baby's conditioned reflex sucks from time to time, which will also cause irregular eating, which can easily lead to gastrointestinal disorders and indigestion, and will also affect the development of the baby's gums.
In addition, if the mother leaks milk, the baby falls asleep with the nipple in his mouth and does not suck, the milk will flow into the baby's ears and cause inflammation.
Therefore, when the baby sleeps after feeding, the mother must pull out the nipple, which is also conducive to cultivating the good Xi of the baby sleeping alone.
Tips for feeding at night
1. Feeding the baby's mother must not be confused The mother must feed the baby in a sober state, so as to effectively avoid the occurrence of dangerous accidents and ensure the baby's life safety.
2. Feed the baby as dim as possible
When feeding the baby at night, the light should be as dark as possible, do not disturb the baby's milk with too much movement, and the action should be slight when changing the baby's diaper, which can effectively ensure the sleep of the mother and the child.
3. Feeding depends on the situation, the mother does not need to feed the baby according to the fixed time, and the baby will wake up, the mother can appropriately extend the time of feeding the baby, so that the baby has enough sleep time, so that the baby is full of vitality the next day.
