Such as feeding at night. In the evening, Ma Bao was very tired, but faced with the crying baby, Ma Bao had to get up and nurse. It is almost impossible for Ma Bao, who breastfeeds at night, to sleep all night.
I have seen such sharing on the forum before. Novice Ma Bao Yue Yue has been lying in bed for a caesarean section. In order to feed the baby, Yue Yue often lies down to feed at night. In this way, the little guy can be comforted quickly, and secondly, Yue Yue is really inconvenient to move. In this way, Yue Yue lay down and fed the baby for a month. Yue Yue found it convenient to lie down and feed, so the baby's night milk was also fed lying down after the wound healed.
But before long, the child suddenly started to have a fever, which made Yue Yue feel a little overwhelmed. The baby's loud crying made Yue Yue panic, and then she quickly asked her husband to take herself and her children to the hospital. The doctor found that the child had otitis media after examination.
Yue Yue was puzzled by the doctor's diagnosis. I have never pulled out the baby's ear. Why does the baby get otitis media? ? During the consultation, the doctor learned that Yue Yue had the habit of lying down at night to nurse the baby. Doctors believe that it is this way of lying down and feeding the baby that causes otitis media. Hearing what the doctor said, Yue Yue began to regret it, and bluntly said that he shouldn't be lazy when breastfeeding at night.
1. Is there a difference between lying and nursing at night?
In fact, the influence of these two different postures on the baby is obvious. Relatively speaking, it is more appropriate to hug and feed the baby at night. Although this will make Ma Bao feel a little hard, it is the most comfortable for the baby.
1. Lying down to feed prevents the child from breathing normally.
It is very normal for babies to eat night milk. In their eyes, there is no difference between day and night. Their stomachs are small, so they have to drink milk often. Although the little ones are very energetic, the treasure mothers are often exhausted because of this, so lying and nursing at night is likely to be too tired to be careless.
If the breast covers the baby's nose and is not found in time, it is likely to cause the baby to have difficulty breathing. Relatively speaking, Ma Bao is relatively sober when hugging and feeding, and because of a certain angle, the baby's breathing is relatively smooth.
2. Lying and feeding can easily lead to otitis media.
Usually, when lying down to feed at night, Ma Bao and the baby lie flat, which makes the baby unable to naturally enter the stomach from top to bottom after sucking. If the baby eats too much at a time, it is very likely that there will be milk overflow.
When the milk comes out of the baby's mouth but is not wiped clean in time, it easily flows into the ear. After a long time, the baby's ears will be infected and otitis media will occur. Relatively speaking, if the mother is holding the baby, the milk sucked out by the baby will enter the stomach more smoothly.
3. Lying-down feeding increases the frequency of breastfeeding.
Although lying down to nurse the baby at night can make Ma Bao more relaxed, and the interference to Ma Bao's sleep quality is lighter, when lying down to nurse the baby at night, the time for the baby to nurse each time is shorter.
For example, sometimes the baby falls asleep while eating, which increases the frequency of breastfeeding. However, if you breast-feed your baby at night, the mothers will find that the baby can eat enough at one time, so the frequency of breast-feeding will be relatively low.
For babies less than three months old, mothers should try not to lie down and feed, which may easily lead to accidents. For Ma Bao, it's really difficult to breast-feed the child at night, and at the right time, Ma Bao can also abstain from sex and breast-feed the child appropriately.
Second, when is it appropriate for the baby to quit night milk?
In the first three months of babies' lives, they drink night milk the most. Ma Bao usually gets up three or four times at night to nurse. Obviously, this has a very obvious effect on Ma Bao's sleep.
When the baby grows up, complementary food is gradually added to the baby's daily menu, and the frequency of feeding the baby at night will be reduced, and sometimes it may only be necessary to feed the baby once at night.
Usually when the baby is about ten months old, the mothers can try to wean the baby at night. This is mainly because the baby has adapted to complementary food, and the stomach capacity has increased significantly. As long as the baby is full before going to bed, it is normal for the baby to sleep all night. If it has been more than ten months, Ma Bao is still feeding her baby night milk, which is likely to affect her normal development and sleep quality.
It can be seen that abstaining from night milk too late is not conducive to the development and growth of children. In about ten months, Ma Bao should find a suitable method of night milk, and gradually let the children accept this change in feeding methods.
Third, how can Ma Bao properly abstain from night nursing?
1. the change of night milk from on-demand to on-time feeding
In the newborn stage, the baby will often drink milk. At this time, Ma Bao should be satisfied in time. When the baby grows up, Ma Bao can appropriately cultivate the transition law of drinking milk.
After the baby gradually forms a fixed digestive cycle, it will be easier for Ma Bao to feed at night. After that, slowly postpone the feeding time and gradually help the baby get rid of the dependence on night milk.
2. Increase the amount of exercise during the day
When the baby does a lot of exercise during the day, he will feel very tired, which makes it easier to fall asleep at night. When the baby sleeps well, the demand for night milk will naturally decrease.
After the baby can sleep all night, it is naturally unnecessary to drink milk frequently, which increases the amount of exercise and makes the baby sleep more practically at night.
3. Change the way of feeding your baby at night to calm your baby's mood.
When the baby cries at night, Ma Bao will choose to breast-feed the baby at night at the first time to calm the baby's mood. In fact, crying at night is not necessarily hungry. Maybe the baby is not feeling well, or the diaper is wet, so if she wants to quit night nursing, Ma Bao should change this way to calm the baby's mood.
Feeding night milk at an appropriate stage can help the baby's growth and development, but if it passes the appropriate stage, Ma Bao should choose to let the child quit night milk, because abstaining from night milk too late is likely to hinder the child's growth and development, and Ma Bao's hard work may be thankless.
