In terms of newborn feeding, breastfeeding is the best. If breastmilk is insufficient, formula milk can be used instead of mixed feeding. So why is this? What is the best solution?
1. Try to avoid mixed feeding
mixed feeding is likely to cause digestive disorders in newborns. If mixed feeding is also used in one feeding, this situation is more likely to occur. Mixed feeding
brings a lot of trouble to novice parents. Mixed feeding is prone to nipple inversion. It is common that babies do not suck on artificial pacifiers and do not drink formula milk. This is the biggest worry that mixed feeding brings to mothers. Insufficient breast milk, baby does not take formula milk, weight gain is slow, mother can not worry!
2. The best method of mixed feeding
Mixed feeding should make full use of the limited breast milk and feed as much breast milk as possible. Breast milk is getting more and more. If the mother thinks that there is not enough breast milk, she should reduce the frequency of breastfeeding, which will make her breast milk less and less. Breastfeeding times should be divided evenly, and do not leave breastfeeding for a long time.
Moms are tired at night, especially in the second half of the night, it is troublesome to get up to make formula milk for the baby, and breastfeeding is best. When mothers rest at night, the amount of milk secretion is relatively increased, and the baby's needs are relatively reduced. Breast milk may meet the needs of the baby. However, if the amount of breast milk is too small and the baby is not full, the interval between feedings will be shortened and the rest of the mother and child will be affected. At this time, formula milk should be the mainstay.
If it is more than 1 hour since the last breastfeeding, do not consider whether you have milk or not. You must feed breast milk. If your baby is crying because he can't absorb milk, or even vomits out, don't feed it forcefully. But don't feed formula milk immediately, because in this way, the baby will accumulate experience. Breast milk is hard to eat, and formula milk is easy to eat. When breastfeeding the baby again, the baby will cry for formula milk, even if there is breast milk, the baby will refuse to take breast milk.
If your baby's weight gains slowly, you need to see a doctor. If you need to increase the amount of formula feeding due to insufficient breast milk, implement it under the guidance of your doctor. Mothers should not take it for granted, nor should they choose formula milk because of the laborious breastfeeding.
3. The feeding clock
breastfeeding interval can be flexibly controlled, and can be fed every 1 hour to 3 hours. The interval between feeding formula milk should be relatively limited, which can be fed every 2 to 3 hours, preferably every 3 hours. This can determine the timing of mixed feeding.
If the breast milk was fed last time, there is no limit to the time of the next feeding. If the baby is hungry, feed it, and if the mother feels the milk is full, feed it. If you were fed formula last time, it is best to take 2-3 hours apart from the next feeding.
4. How to control the frequency and amount of mixed feeding
There are only two reasons for adding formula:
The first is that you have medical indications that you are not suitable for breastfeeding; the second is that the amount of breast milk really cannot meet the needs of your baby.
Except for these two, mothers should not give up breastfeeding easily. Mother
still remember! The more the baby sucks the mother's nipple, the more the mother's milk secretes, so don't save it for the baby.
Remember the above two points, mothers can basically master the method of mixed feeding. Feed your baby when you are hungry. If the baby does not cry or falls asleep after taking breast milk, mothers should not worry that the baby is not full, put the baby down and wait for the baby to be hungry again or wake up for milk. If the baby is crying because he is not full, give the baby formula milk and feed as much as the baby can eat.
