Lead: There is a folk saying "Gold mercury water is not as good as mother's milk". For little babies, breast milk is the most perfect food in the world and the most precious gift from mothers. Breast milk not only satisfies the physiological and nutritional needs of newborn babies, but also promotes the overall development of their bodies, and can also give them a sense of safety.
However, not every mother has a smooth journey to breastfeeding. Otherwise, everyone knows the benefits of breastmilk, but why are so many people unable to realize it? In the process of breastfeeding, do you often encounter such problems:
The milk is not enough.
Stop eating after a few bites. I wonder if the baby has eaten enough?
Is my milk not nutritious? Why is the baby not long?
With so much milk, the baby can't finish eating, but it's so worrying!
It's too painful for milk to increase and milk blockage, or forget it. The same is true for milk powder?
……
I have seen a post from a mother,She said:
Never want breast milk anymore! Because the nipples are a bit inverted, the baby always pulls out abruptly, and the pain makes his whole body tremble. With big breasts and small nipples, the mother and daughter sweat every time they breastfeed. I don't know how to see if she has not eaten enough, anyway, she will not eat when she is tired, but after a while, she wakes up and wants to eat again. When she wakes up, her chest will not consciously hurt!
Let me say, breastfeeding mothers are really difficult! Too much milk is uncomfortable, and the baby can't eat enough if there is less milk. Anyway, I worry about having milk or not. All these problems are caused by our lack of knowledge about breastfeeding , next breastfeeding mothers and Wan mothers will learn more.
★Understand the principle of breastfeeding, we can "produce milk"
Many novice mothers worry about not being able to breastfeed exclusively, or even worry that they will have no milk. In fact, mothers don't have to doubt, because of their nature, if it is not for special reasons such as disease, every mother can do . If you want to produce more milk, the only secret of is: give your baby more sucking.
Mother breast is a magical organ, it has its own "idea". When there is milk in it, it will inhibit lactation; if it is hollow, it will promote milk secretion. So the baby sucks more often,The more milk will be secreted . This is all thanks to a "heritor"- prolactin .
★How do I know if the baby is full? Mainly look at 5 signals:
Breastfeeding babies cannot be quantified, so we always worry that he will not be full and will not grow his body . For newborn babies, needs to be fed . In addition, it can be judged by observing the baby’s 5 signals.
[Watch the baby's eating status]
The baby will make a sound of swallowing when he eats. If swallows clearly and lasts for a certain amount of time, it means that the baby can swallow enough span. Milk. When the baby eats and drinks enough, automatically releases the nipple , which also means that he is full.
[Observe the expression,Test response]
After the baby is full of milk, looks happy and the body is relatively relaxed . If you still have crying or restless sleep after sucking for a period of time, it may be because you have not eaten enough. We can also touch the edge of the baby's mouth with our fingers. If the baby's foraging response is more obvious , it also means that the baby has not eaten enough.
[Comparison of breast size before and after feeding]
The breasts are full before the baby eats, and the baby is empty after eating, indicating that the baby has all eaten the milk. If the baby still feels swelling pain after eating , status has not changed , it means that the baby has not eaten any milk, consider whether it is ,Or feeding milk posture improper and other reasons.
[Watch the number of bowel movements of the baby]
Newborn babies have urination more than 6 times a day or even more, and normal urine is light yellow . If the overall urine output is low, or the color is dark, it means that the milk supply is insufficient.
[Weigh the baby more]
We weigh the baby frequently and record it on the notebook. Control the developmental indicators. If is in line with the normal growth of The baby is eating normally . If the growth curve is not up to the standard, pay attention to the baby's insufficient food intake, or due to abnormal reasons such as illness.
★How to chase after the milk is not enough? There is no special "medicine", and the details of daily maintenance are the key. Many mothers do not have much confidence in achieving exclusive breastfeeding, so they simply mixed feeding . But if you can work hard, it is not too difficult to achieve exclusive breast milk.You only need to do 6 things:

Most of the components of breast milk are water. Only drinking enough water can meet the needs of lactation. This water can be drinking water , or soup, milk or liquid food . It is best to have a glass before and after feeding, and do not forget to drink water after taking a bath.
【Reasonable nutrition, balanced diet】
The quality and quantity of milk depends on whether the mother's nutrition is sufficient and balanced. First of all, we must ensure that has enough high-quality protein every day, and eat more eggs, milk, fish, poultry and beans. The second is to supplement all kinds of minerals and trace elements , in short, diversification of food is right.
【living a regular life and getting enough sleep】
It’s really hard to take a baby,But still have to do life rhythm , sleep 8 hours a day . Especially the mothers in the confinement period, must take a good rest. Usually ask teammates to bring more babies. It is better if there is an elderly person at home. There is really no way. It is also necessary to ask a confinement wife or a nanny to help through the special period.
