We have explained and confirmed from multiple perspectives from previous discussions the benefits and importance of breastfeeding for mothers, infants and families.
For The mother herself, breastfeeding can reduce the occurrence of breast and ovarian cancer, reduce the chance of unwanted pregnancy, and help help the mother lose weight healthily;
For children, breastfeeding can not only provide energy and nutrition, but also a universal "medicine" for children's early survival, which can improve resistance and prevent the occurrence of adverse conditions such as diabetes and "earth bag day". At the same time, it can also increase the child's intelligence, ensure academic performance, promote the formation of a sound personality, and the child is more confident.
For the emotional interaction between mother and child, breastfeeding can provide a chance for skin-to-skin affection between mother and child, comforting the child and making the mother happy. Several hormones that stimulate milk production and the milk ejection reflex also increase maternal love. Almost all breastfeeding mums will find that breastfeeding not only brings them closer to their children and increases their desire to protect, but also makes them more confident in their ability to raise their children.
But how can breastfeeding be carried out smoothly? What kind of breastfeeding is correct and does not damage the mammary glands? How can moms continue to breastfeed correctly for the next two years? Is all persistence a must, and how to choose? In the small classes in the future, we will come together. Today, we'll explain and elaborate on the importance of the WHO's recommendation that "Breast-feeding initiation within the fifirst half hour after birth" is.
In these days, every mumant knows that breastfeeding is important, both for their children and for themselves. Especially for a new mother, the explosive love for her children, as long as it is beneficial to the child, she is willing to insist and is willing to "sacrifice herself". There is a famous saying that this is the case, the woman is weak, and the mother is strong.
When the child falls to the ground, the whole family is immersed in happiness and joy, but the problem soon comes, and the arrival of a life is followed by "eating, pulling, sleeping". Under the large amount of publicity and popularization, everyone understands a truth, and the baby must be breastfed as much as possible after birth. However, at this time, the "old man's" view is that where there is milk so early, as long as you drink the soup that makes milk immediately, the milk will come. And some educated "social postpartum care workers" (we call it this for the time being), with their own social experience and experience, think that the opportunity for children to cry on the first day is too great, and at this time they will use the magic weapon------- that is, milk powder. Let the child eat breast milk first, if not, immediately use the milk powder, this trick is very desperate, the child does not cry, the mother will not be dragged by the postpartum tired body because of breastfeeding toss herself, it feels like everyone is happy and happy.
However, at this time, a foreshadowing was buried, and it can even be said that it was a huge hidden danger. 3 to 4 days after childbirth, the breast swelling is about to "explode", many people, including doctors, will say that this is physiological milk rise, is a normal state. However, then there will be a lot of people who have walked, and many people are now taking the road:
Normal physiological milk increase due to untimely treatment or incorrect methods, resulting in serious postpartum lack of milk, postpartum mothers will start a long road of prolactin after being injured by the milk increase.
The point is coming (knock on the blackboard ~)
So, where is the root of the problem? Within 1 hour after giving birth!
Solution: Achieve SSC (mother-infant skin to skin contact) as early as possible within half an hour after giving birth
SSC can not only help mothers increase breastfeeding rates, but it is also easier to achieve the goal of continued breastfeeding. If done relatively well, it will also contribute to the smooth passage of the physiological milking period, as evidenced by data (see Tables 1 and 2).
Studies have shown that maternal and infant separation at birth leads to a decrease in maternal-infant interaction, maternal self-esteem and self-efficacy of breastfeeding success rates. The resistance to the realization of SSC is not only from the elders and social service personnel of Bao Ma, but also from medical institutions, some institutions provide incubator services, think that the child's body temperature is low after birth, require the use of incubators to maintain body temperature, separate the child and the mother, resulting in SSC failure. In addition, in some poorer and poorer medical conditions, medical staff are too busy and do not have much energy to provide careful care and guidance to mothers, which also leads to the failure of SSC.
The first step in breastfeeding, the realization of SSC within half an hour of the birth of the child, will lay a solid foundation for successful breastfeeding in the future. Also, for children, research shows that there is greater value, and we will continue in the next discussion.
