Thinking that I have done so much homework, I have made various psychological preparations in advance to deal with unexpected situations. When I really face the production, I shouldn't have any fear and anxiety, and there won't be any emergencies rushing by. In fact, accidents, accidents, accidents, life without accidents is not life.
Let's sum up and learn from my lessons. I hope that later generations will not encounter the problems I made again. However, as the title suggests, the delivery room is not so terrible.
0 1
The bag hasn't arrived yet!
There are two kinds!
One is the traditional postpartum bag,
One is the production package of the delivery room.
Do you think I will let you prepare the bag according to the picture above? !
No!
The pulse and chocolate in it are all milk. If you want to breastfeed, try to eat less or not to eat these things! Otherwise, when there is no milk, there is no place to cry!
Generally speaking, there are two kinds of bags: delivery room use and postpartum daily use.
The bag just delivered to the delivery room needs no special preparation. There are canteens in hospitals or pharmacies around hospitals. It is not only complete, but also meets the requirements of hospital delivery room or operating room. I suffered a big loss at this point.
After listening to the sharing of countless friends and reading countless sharing stickers, I know that knife paper is the most consumed in the delivery room, so I prepared a lot of knife paper and bags in advance, and bought dry food such as chocolate, biscuits and pulse to supplement my strength. As a result, all these things were blocked by nurses in women's and children's hospitals with the phrase "not meeting the requirements", forcing their families to buy just right bags, dry food and water that met the requirements.
Man-made water has been broken for over an hour. Peng Xiansen also ran around looking for bags, dry food and water that had just been used in my delivery room. He was really annoyed at that time. He regretted that he had made full preparations. If it was unified according to hospital standards, he wouldn't be alone in the delivery room. Loneliness can be alleviated, and the fragility caused by his fear and anxiety during childbirth is powerless.
To sum up, the key points of preparation in advance for bags just leaving the delivery room are-
1, purchased at the nearest pharmacy or canteen according to the requirements of the hospital;
2. Dry food and water prepared in the delivery room can be prepared in advance, but don't buy chocolate and other foods that are easy to cause milk return. You can prepare some bread, milk and mineral water.
3. The delivery room can prepare wet paper towels/cotton soft towels in advance, and all kinds of unknown liquids can be wiped by hands and sweat.
After the bag just left the delivery room is ready, it is the bag to be used after delivery. This is relatively simple, because it is for self-use after delivery and for the baby. There are no hard and fast rules in hospitals, so you can buy them according to your own preferences and usage habits.
Taobao, JD.COM, search for "bag just returned", the results are so many that it is difficult for you to choose.
To sum up, the key points of preparing bags just yet in advance for postpartum use are-
1, you should not only prepare for your own use, but also remember to prepare for your baby's use, mainly for your own use and supplemented by your baby's use. After all, the newborn baby doesn't use much, and the hospital will prepare one for the baby.
2. In addition to the online postpartum bag, you can also prepare it separately. The main items for pregnant women are:
2-3 nursing bras,
2 postpartum caps,
4-8 pairs of disposable underwear,
Anti-galactorrhea pad,
Special nursing pad for postpartum,
Special cotton soft towel for postpartum,
Special wet wipes for postpartum,
Special sanitary towel for postpartum,
Disposable toilet seat,
Special toothbrush for this month,
What we need are slippers, clothes, towels, coats, toiletries and clothes for discharge, needless to say.
3, the baby's main items are:
Diapers should be prepared according to the baby's weight. There is no need to store too many NBs or s codes. Every baby is born and develops at a different speed. Diapers should be prepared according to the baby's weight.
Buttock cream;
Baby-specific wet tissue;
Baby-specific cotton soft towel;
Baby basin and towel;
In addition, baby clothes, gloves, socks, hats, etc.
4. In all postpartum bags, both mothers and babies can store more consumables, especially chest pads, soft cotton towels, wet paper towels and so on.
5, postpartum products must remember to store the breast pump. Don't think that you don't need a breast pump when you are born without milk. In fact, a breast pump can help you pump milk. Preferably electric. Manual breast pump is really a lie. You don't have much strength right after giving birth. Manual breast pump makes you despair to doubt life.

Milk powder! Bottle!
Can be prepared, but not recommended!
Insist on breastfeeding is king!
I deliberately separate milk powder from bottle, because I personally admire breastfeeding very much, so I want to share this part of my experience.
It's dangerous to have a cesarean section after a natural delivery. I suffered twice. After caesarean section, the baby left me 10 hour to go to the neonatal department for observation. A natural baby can go back to the ward with his mother as soon as he is born, and after returning to the ward for one hour, he can let the baby suck and promote the next milk.
After my caesarean section, I couldn't sleep all night because of contractions and pain in the wound. Besides, with the baby away, I almost gave up hope for milking. At that time, I thought in my mind, fortunately, I prepared a can of formula milk in advance, at least when I have no milk, the baby will not be hungry.
Although that's what I think in my mind, the first thing I do after the baby comes to me is to ask my mother to hold the baby and let him suck it. I haven't slept all night, and my face is sour. My mother and Peng Xiansen both sympathized with me and advised me not to feed them. Let me see the baby. I rolled my eyes at them, endured all kinds of pain and discomfort, and asked them to hold the baby to my chest and suck to promote the milk.
That day, I started to let my baby suck at 8: 00 in the morning. Except when the baby is sleeping, I will let the baby suck as long as I wake up. It lasted until 1 1 p.m. at night, and milk began to appear.
That is to say, I will have milk less than 28 hours after giving birth to the baby! Doctors and nurses have always praised me for my first step in breastfeeding.
The formula and bottle I prepared are intact.
To sum up, my experience in breastfeeding and postpartum breastfeeding is-
1, insisting that the baby keep sucking for the first time. It doesn't matter if there is no milk. Even if the baby is trained to suck, let the baby remember the mother's breasts.
2, sucking empty nipples has two advantages: on the one hand, it promotes the mother's milk, on the other hand, it also avoids the baby's aversion to mother's nipples caused by eating only bottle nipples. After all, the nipple is big, the baby is easy to suck, and the mother's nipple is small, so it is difficult for the baby to suck, so let the baby touch the mother's nipple from the beginning and suck more.
3, the baby will not be too hungry within 48 hours after birth, and the newborn baby's stomach is not as big as a small grape, even if the baby is hungry, it can't eat much. After the baby is born 10 days or so, the belly will be as big as a small egg, which I didn't know until after the baby was born. Therefore, a mother who has just given birth to a baby does not need to worry that she only has a little colostrum and the baby is not enough to eat.
4, within one week after delivery, you don't need to worry about eating too much. In order to promote lactation, you can drink a little light soup and water, and even drink more water. Don't worry about drinking too greasy soup and water. Remember, everything will be reversed. What's more, a baby just born a week has only a little stomach, so it's good to drink 10-20 ml at a meal. Mother's soup is too greasy for the baby to finish, which is easy to block the milk and more troublesome.
5. I have had a fever for several times because of milk blockage, and I have consulted a doctor. If the fever is below 38.5 degrees, I can continue to feed. Pay attention to dredge when blocking milk. I use hot water, especially boiling hot water, and then suck it with a breast pump. Every time the baby eats, the extra milk is sucked out, and the sucked milk can be frozen and preserved.
6. Recommend some light dairy foods:
Scrambled eggs with loofah (boiled into soup is also acceptable);
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes (soup is also acceptable);
Steamed shrimp;
Lotus root starch:
Durian;
The above is my personal experience. Very refreshing, super light. The first week of confinement, don't be too greasy. Eat these. After that, in order to supplement physical strength and qi and blood and promote lactation, you can start eating a little greasy. We recommend pettitoes soup, crucian carp soup, chicken soup and diced fish soup.
Old hen soup is not recommended. We generally think that old hen soup gives milk. As a result, the doctor told me that the old hen soup should be replaced by milk, and I should give milk and eat more old hens.
7. Just after giving birth to a baby, you must persist and have confidence-breastfeeding, you can do it!
Don't be influenced by people around you. I was easily influenced at first. I just had a variety of physical discomfort, and the novice took the baby on the road. What I hear most is-why is the baby crying? Don't you have milk?
Forget these words, don't take them to heart, and don't easily doubt that there is not enough milk without yourself.
Remember, the best prolactin teacher is the baby's mouth. Be sure to let the baby smoke more. Let the baby pull the bow every two hours and suck for about 20 minutes at a time.
One sentence I often hear is-your milk is really full!
At first, I didn't know what this meant. Later, I met my grandma and grandma, who are 13 month-old granddaughter and 18 month-old granddaughter respectively, and I didn't know what it meant until I chatted.
It turns out that the mothers of these two children can only drink milk when breastfeeding. If they don't drink soup for a meal, the children will have no milk to eat, and I just need to drink more water.
Although I don't know how many people will read these words and whether they can help expectant mothers, I still want to record them. Maybe I will use them when I am a mother-in-law.
No matter what kind of person Qi Qi will become and what kind of life he will lead, whether he is sad or happy, I hope he knows that he came into this world with joy, blessing and luck.
Similarly, I also hope that since all mothers have to go through this, they should be fully prepared.
This is also your blessing and luck.
