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 the breast. 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 the posture and method are proper when feeding in the future, in fact, the problem is not big. After feeding the baby every time, if the baby doesn't suck the breast empty, it should use the breast pump to suck out the excess milk. This is not a waste. Emptying the breast can promote more milk secretion, and it can also alleviate the pain of the new mother's milk increase, which also has a health care effect on the health of the breast.
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, which is a pity. In fact, colostrum is the essence of nutrition, rich in the highest human immune factors and growth factors, which can enhance the baby's immunity and promote the baby's development. Therefore, you should feed your baby with hunger within five days after delivery and try to supplement your baby as much as possible.
4, pay attention to the lack of breast milk: when the mother's breast milk is insufficient, there are often breasts that do not swell before breastfeeding. When breastfeeding, the baby swallows less. After breastfeeding, the baby sleeps short and uneasy, often crying, and the weight does not increase or increase slowly. 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 nipples, which is not only unsanitary, but also easy to cause suffocation and vomiting, and it will also affect the development of the baby's gums and lead to deformity.
6. Keep a happy mood: Mother should nurse in a relaxed mood. If the mother is mentally burdened or nervous, it will affect the secretion of milk.
