Precautions for breastfeeding:
1, Breast Care: If a pregnant mother decides to breastfeed, she should start breast care before pregnancy, pay attention to massage when taking a bath, and wear a loose bra to avoid blocking her breasts. If there are problems such as nipple invagination, you can consult a doctor and try to correct it as soon as possible.
In addition, the mother's nipples should always be kept clean to prevent nipple and breast diseases. If you have the right posture and method when feeding in the future, it will not be a big problem. After feeding the baby every time, if the baby doesn't suck the breast empty, use a breast pump to suck out the excess milk. This is not a waste. Emptying the breast can promote more milk secretion, alleviate the pain of new mothers' milk increase, and also have a health care effect on breast health.
2, open milk as soon as possible: Generally speaking, 30 minutes after delivery, although the new mother has not opened milk at this time, there may not be enough milk in the breast, but try to suck the baby's breast and cultivate the habit of sucking the baby's breast as soon as possible. Otherwise, the baby may reject the mother's breasts in the future.
3, do not discard colostrum: within five days after delivery, the milk secreted by the mother is called colostrum. Some mothers think that colostrum is "dirty" or that colostrum has no nutritional value and is squeezed out and discarded. It is a pity. In fact, colostrum is the essence of nutrition, which is rich in the highest immune factors and growth factors in the human body, which can enhance the baby's immunity and promote the baby's development. Therefore, feed your baby within five days after delivery and try to supplement your baby with nutrition.
4, pay attention to insufficient breast milk: when the mother's breast milk is insufficient, it is often the case that the breast does not swell before breastfeeding. Babies swallow less when breastfeeding. After breast-feeding, the baby suffers from short sleep, frequent crying, and no or slow weight gain. At this time, the mother needs to find out the reason and correct it.
5, the baby sleeps while eating milk: Don't let the baby sleep with the nipple, which is not only unsanitary, but also easy to cause suffocation and vomiting, which will also affect the development of the baby's gums and lead to deformity.
6. Keep a happy mood: Mother should breast-feed in a relaxed mood. If the mother's mental burden is too heavy or nervous, it will affect the secretion of milk.
