Thinking every day: I'm going to work. What about the children? What should I do if I am hungry? What should I do if I cry for my mother? What if the unit does not give breastfeeding leave? What if I can't continue breastfeeding?
To tell you the truth, I'm almost depressed. I've been struggling every day for almost a month. I've been working for a week, and I've finally adjusted a little. As a staunch breast-feeder, I also accepted the advice of my family and added some milk powder to my children. After all, I'm too busy at work to go home and I can't keep my children hungry.
I recovered my milk as soon as I relaxed, but the new problem I faced was that the baby didn't accept the bottle and was completely unprepared, because when I was a child, they could bottle-feed and kiss. Then there are all kinds of attempts. Finally, before going to work, Dabao finally accepted it. You can put breast milk in a bottle first, and then put milk powder, but Bauer refuses to accept it anywhere. Twin babies.
So, my breastfeeding journey began and lasted for eight months until I left my job to be a full-time mother.
I want to go to work, and I can breastfeed my children smoothly. Summarized some experiences.
Get the children ready. Usually, our maternity leave is between 4 and 6 months. If mothers want to go back to work after maternity leave and want to breastfeed, then I suggest that you feed your baby bottle and kiss alternately at ordinary times to avoid giving him a bottle suddenly.
This is the best way for children to adapt, because children usually have sucking reflex three months ago, and generally you will suck anything you give to your mouth. But it usually disappears after three months, so even if you eat a bottle when you are young, it doesn't mean that you still accept it when you are old and make preparations early.
We should also communicate with our children more before going to work and tell them that their mother is going to work. She may not be at home during the day, but she will come back at night.
Play hide-and-seek games with children to let them know that their mother is not gone, but will come out after hiding. Avoid or alleviate children's separation anxiety.
Don't think they don't understand. They all understand.
Mother is firmly prepared to be a breast-feeding mother.
Get ready to bring milk tools.
1) A breast pump is necessary.
You can choose electric or manual according to your own situation. I used a bilateral electric motor at that time, and I thought it could free my hands and it was quite easy to use. There are various modes to switch, but it needs a special bra.
However, after work, compared with two precious mothers who gave birth to babies together, they are real cows. One of them swished 200ml in 5 minutes by hand, and there is still room for squeezing. The other one is unilateral. There must be one after another when squeezing here and there, and they can all be connected 100ml. I have to prepare at least 15 minutes before I can smoke 100.
Therefore, the choice of breast pump depends on your actual situation, which is very important for you.
2) milk storage bag
Although breast pumps usually have four bottles, they can't be frozen. It is recommended to prepare a milk storage bag, which is very practical. If you are a cow, you can buy a large capacity, but generally 200ml is enough, and children can't eat more than these at a time.
3) Ice packs
The simplest thing is that there is an ice raft in a small bag. You can put it in the refrigerator at home and use it outside for a day. There may be four bottles of milk in a bag. Usually in the breast pump. If it doesn't match, buy one yourself, but I'm optimistic about whether the model matches.
How to give your baby a big glass of warm water before and after going to work and going home to pump milk can be a bit hot.
Wash your hands and massage your breasts a little. If the breast pump has this function, it can save some time by omitting it.
The whole process relaxed my mood. At first, I didn't pump milk when I was preparing at home, but later I became more and more annoyed. Later, I tried listening to songs and watching funny videos, and then I was ok.
Put it in an ice pack immediately after sucking milk. The flowing water can be used to clean the breast pump and various accessories, and can be scalded with boiling water for disinfection. Of course, you can also use the disinfection cabinet to wash and disinfect after you go home.
As for standing and sitting, there is generally no problem, depending on your own comfort.
How to store milk correctly? Usually, the milk brought home by the company can be put in the whole bottle in the refrigerator, and I will try my best to finish it for the baby within 24 hours. If it's above average, I'll throw it away.
If it is particularly large, it is recommended to transfer it to a milk storage bag immediately after returning home, mark the specific date and quantity, and then put it in the refrigerator for freezing.
Refer to the advice of Cui Yutao Parenting Encyclopedia;
How can I give the baby the milk I brought home? My usual practice is to leave the amount my baby needs to eat one day in the refrigerator after I get home, and put the rest in the milk storage bag for freezing.
Before eating refrigerated breast milk, pour it into a bottle and heat it in a milk warmer. If there is no milk warmer, use warm water of about 42 degrees.
Before eating frozen breast milk, put the frozen breast milk into the refrigerator to thaw, and then use a milk warmer to heat it.
note:
Basically pay attention to these small details, so it is no longer so difficult to recite milk. Although it is very hard, it is worthwhile for the baby's rations! What's your little experience? Welcome to share.
I am a twin nanny who has been wandering in the parenting circle for 10 years and finally can display her fists and feet. I am a friend circle complementary food expert, parenting encyclopedia, love life, like to share. I look forward to walking with you on the road of parenting, studying together and growing together. Remember to help me like it. Oh, ha, thank you! Mom is going to work, so she can store the breast milk until the baby is hungry.
Method for storing breast milk
1. The extruded breast milk should be stored in a clean container, such as a milk storage bag sold in the market.
2. Store separately according to the quantity.
Don't fill it too full, lest it freeze and crack.
4. Put a label on every mouthful of breast milk and write the date.
Tips for thawing breast milk 1. Waterproof heating
Drain the water from the outer pot, and put the breast milk into the inner pot, and the heating temperature shall not exceed 60C, so as to avoid the deterioration of the nutrients in the breast milk.
2. Thaw in flowing warm water
Soak the frozen breast milk bag in warm water within 60C, and let the milk slowly return to temperature.
3. If the unfrozen milk is not used up, it can be put back in the cold storage area of the refrigerator, which can be kept for about 4 hours. But try to thaw every time according to the baby's food intake, so as to avoid repeated heating affecting the quality of milk.
Adjustment of feeding mode: 1. Mom can breastfeed before and after work. During lunch break, it would be better if mom could go home and feed 1 time.
2. What mom needs to do is to bring a clean bottle at work, squeeze the milk into the bottle by hand or breast pump during break and lunch, put the collected breast milk in a thermos cup and put the ice cubes in a fresh-keeping bag.
3. If the work unit has a refrigerator, it can be temporarily stored in the refrigerator or freezer. In the process of transporting breast milk after work, it still needs to be covered with ice to keep the temperature low, and put it in the refrigerator immediately after returning home.
First of all, I insist on exclusive breastfeeding until my baby is six months old. So after four months of maternity leave, I took another month off and tried to store some milk in milk bags at home. Here, I need to remind Ma Bao that if a baby can't eat a bottle, he must learn it before going to work, or feed it with a spoon or something other than a bottle nipple. I really don't compromise. In the end, both adults and children suffer, especially the baby. And if the baby is here, I mean, if the baby really doesn't eat the bottle nipple, don't blindly change brands. What matters is the patience and persistence of parents. The topic here is a bit far-fetched Let's talk to my parents about how I insist on breastfeeding at work.
First of all, I went to work very close to home and insisted on breastfeeding until I was nearly one year old. I go to work very close to home. I go home to nurse at noon every day, and then I store the milk in a bag. Babies seldom get sick when they are one year old!
It doesn't matter if you go to work far away, and many of my colleagues insist that it is worthwhile to store milk with a breast pump, keep it well and put it in the refrigerator as a baby's ration.
According to the baby's food intake, add complementary food after eight months. You can try rice paste first and add it slowly. If necessary, I can help you later. First, breast milk.
In short, if you want to breastfeed and go to work, you should insist that Ma Bao can't be too tired! Come on! I hope I can help you!
Maternity leave in China is not long, the longest is six months. Therefore, the end of maternity leave does not mean the end of breastfeeding. Who's recommendation is to feed until the age of two. How does a mother breast-feed her baby at work?
If the home is close to the work unit, it will be easy. You can go back at noon. Hello. Within one year of the child's age, mothers have an hour of breastfeeding leave every day, so we should make full use of this hour.
If the home is far from the work unit, you need to carry milk. That's what I did. I have been breastfeeding for almost eight months. Every morning, I go to work with a big bag, which contains breast pumps, ice cubes, storage bags and so on. I take advantage of the gap between work to go to the toilet to suck milk, and occasionally suck milk in the office when there is no one in the office. The conditions are really tough, but I have been insisting.
My son used to be exclusively breastfed, which led him to stare at the milk in the refrigerator every day, like a hungry wolf. Sometimes if you can't suck milk because of work, you have to squeeze it out by hand, otherwise you will get mastitis if you go up too much. During my lactation period, I got mastitis several times, because my work was too irregular and I couldn't control myself.
When I go home, I store the milk in the refrigerator. I usually keep it fresh, and the children drink it the next day. It can be frozen in large quantities, but not for too long. Take it out of the refrigerator and heat it, just like you bought a bear milk heater, which is quite convenient. I didn't finish my nursing career until my child was almost one and a half years old.
Looking back at that time, although it was hard, my heart was sweet. Colleagues around me also praised me and said I was a great mother. Actually, it's nothing, but my mother's instinct.
I am an office worker and a nanny for two children. Let me answer your question. At the end of maternity leave, most mothers can't bear to wean their babies too early, which leads to new problems. How to breastfeed your baby during work?
My experience-wet nurse
I work in a private enterprise, and the birth check-up will be over when the baby is four months old. Because my mother-in-law is in poor health, I took nine months' maternity leave until my baby went to work for more than eight months. At that time, I fed my baby every morning, took a breast pump, a milk storage bag and a heat preservation bag to work during the day, sucked milk twice in the middle, and kept the baby's reserves for the next day in the refrigerator.
Colleague's Experience-Running Mom
My colleague's home is close to the company, and the leader is easy to talk to, so in the first half year of her work, she had half an hour to go home and nurse in the afternoon, and we had an hour and a half rest at noon, which was enough for her to ride an electric car home and on her way to the company.
Office clerk-nursing mother
Most working mothers are not as lucky as my colleagues and can only be wet nurses like me.
How to be a wet nurse? Many new mothers say that they are a little ignorant. To be a nursing mother, you need to make the following preparations:
1. Breast pump
Breast pumps are generally divided into manual and electric, and lactating mothers can choose according to their own situation.
2. Breast milk storage bag
The milk sucked by the breast pump needs to be stored in storage bags, which are clean and hygienic, so nursing mothers should prepare a certain number of breast milk storage bags.
3. Breast milk insulation packaging
Breast milk is sealed in storage bags and needs to be preserved at low temperature to avoid deterioration or pollution. Mothers can choose the one that suits them according to their own situation.
4. Anti-galactorrhea pad
Prepare a small bag of anti-galactorrhea pad a few days before going to work to avoid embarrassment.
How to thaw frozen milk?
Refrigerated breast milk can be washed under flowing warm water (about 60℃) for a few minutes until the back of the hand feels warm but not too hot. Frozen breast milk needs to be washed with cold water first, then the water is gradually heated to about 60℃ and soaked in warm water until the breast milk returns to temperature; Or directly heat it with a milk warmer, and be careful that the temperature does not exceed 60, otherwise it will lead to the deterioration of nutrients in breast milk.
With these preparations, you can leave your child with your family and become a wet nurse.
According to my wife's experience of breastfeeding her baby at work, I will share it with you.
Before going to work in the morning, put the extra milk in a glass bottle, cover it and put it in the refrigerator. Feed the baby before going to work, so that the breast milk in the refrigerator can be heated for the baby to eat at work. If it is not enough, you can give your baby some milk powder. If you have extra milk at work, you can also put it in the glass. If possible, you can put it in the unit refrigerator and take it home after work. The method in the afternoon is the same as that in the morning.
There is a group called breastfeeding mothers, which refers to those mothers who still choose to breastfeed their children when they go to work after maternity leave. They bring breast pumps and milk storage devices to the company, suck out breast milk during breaks, refrigerate it and take it home for the baby to drink. It is very hard to work with one hand and take care of the baby with the other, and embark on the road of wet nurse.
Support equipment 1, breast pump
Choosing a suitable breast pump will make mom much easier. There are manual, electric unilateral and electric bilateral breast pumps, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. You can try it all before you buy it, and choose the one that is most convenient to use. Learn to milk at home and regularly before going to work, so you can get used to it after going to work.
2, milk storage bag storage bottle
Hard-squeezed milk is most afraid of spoilage due to improper storage, so you must choose special milk storage bags and bottles and label them with dates.
If the amount of milk is not too large, only enough for the baby to drink for a day or two, use the storage bottle first and put it in the refrigerator. The milk storage bag is used for freezing, and there is a special refrigerator drawer for it.
Don't recycle the milk storage bag, the residual breast milk in plastic products can't be completely cleaned, and it is easy to breed bacteria after the second use. In order to avoid swelling, each milk storage bag should reserve a space of about 1/4, not too full.
3. Ice packs, Lan Bing
If the company has a refrigerator, you can put it in the company refrigerator first. There are many miscellaneous things in the refrigerator. Before you put it in, you can wrap it in a big plastic bag and seal it tightly to avoid odor.
If the company doesn't have a refrigerator, prepare an ice pack and Lan Bing (a reusable freezing medium made of polymer compounds), and put it in the refrigerator the first night and put it in a milk bag the next day, which can be frozen all day.
4. Carry a milk bag
The suggestion is to choose a double shoulder back or a single shoulder back milk bag. If you put ice cubes, the bag is still a little heavy, so it will be more convenient to carry it by hand.
5, breast pump cleaning tools, as well as breast pads, disinfection paper towels, these can be prepared in the company, convenient for direct use.
The breast milk taken home after the storage time is sorted according to the date. Please refer to the table below for storage time.
note:
Thawing method When feeding your baby, you usually choose the first breast milk.
The breast milk taken from the cold room is bagged with warm water of about 40℃ and heated, and a milk warmer can also be used.
The breast milk taken out of the freezer should be thawed in the cold storage first, and then put into warm water at about 40℃ for heating. After breast milk is heated, there will be slight milk fat floating, so mothers can just shake it before feeding their babies.
Note: If the thawed breast milk cannot be drunk at one time, it should be dumped and cannot be frozen repeatedly!
Hello, I'm glad to answer your question!
After giving birth to a baby, maternity leave time really flies. After the maternity leave, many mothers want to return to the workplace but still want to breastfeed their babies. Because all mothers know that breast milk is the best gift for their children, they can only choose to be wet nurses. So how to be a wet nurse?
First, nursing mothers need to prepare equipment: breast pump, milk storage bag, marker, cold storage bag, ice pack (Lan Bing)
1, the milk storage bag should be of better quality, not easy to be damaged, and better sealed, so that the milk will not be polluted.
2. Ice packs and ice packs are mainly used to keep milk cold. It's best to suggest that mothers choose Lan Bing, which can keep the milk refrigerated for a longer time and can be used repeatedly.
3. The marker pen is mainly used to record the time of milk production. It's best to let the baby drink the milk with the freshest date every time. If some babies have a small appetite, they can be frozen first if they can't finish eating. If you write the date, it will be easy to distinguish.
Second, how to store the squeezed breast milk is 1. The freshly squeezed milk is hot. After pouring into the milk storage bag, it is recommended to leave it for a while, and then put it into the refrigerator bag when the milk is cool. (If the company has a refrigerator, the best choice is to put it in the refrigerator) to avoid milk deterioration or nutrient loss.
2. If the squeezed milk is eaten by the baby after work or the day after tomorrow, it is recommended not to freeze it quickly, but to keep it fresh in cold storage.
If the frozen milk in the company refrigerator is heated on the way home during the day, don't give it to the baby. We must do a good job in keeping out the cold. Next time, change to a better quality refrigerator and increase the number of ice packs.
Precautions:
Third, the little knowledge of breast milk storage 1, at room temperature (20-30), sucked breast milk can be stored for 4 hours. If you keep it in this temperature range for more than 4 hours, you need to pour out the breast milk.
2. Carry a milk bag (usually with an insulated ice box, the temperature is above 15), and the sucked breast milk can be kept for 24 hours.
3, refrigerator refrigeration (about 4), the sucked breast milk can be stored for 48 hours, but if you often open the door of the refrigerator freezer, the storage time is only 24 hours.
4. Store in the freezer of the refrigerator (-5- 15) for 3-6 months; If the temperature is below -20℃, the storage time is 6- 12 months.
Fourth, how to give children 1, refrigerated breast milk, or frozen breast milk?
Take it out of the refrigerator, let it stand at room temperature for about half an hour, and then heat it with warm water or milk heater.
2. Frozen breast milk
Thaw in the freezer 12 hours in advance. If it is not completely thawed, thaw it with cold water. Finally, warm the baby with warm water or a milk warmer to maximize the nutrition of breast milk.
Precautions:
Being a wet nurse is hard, and there may be some embarrassing things in the process that mothers need to overcome. Everyone who decides to be a wet nurse is the best!
I hope my answer can help you!
Maternity leave for pregnant women is over. How to breast-feed children during work? Let me solve your problem. Breastfeeding at work can take the following forms:
To be a wet nurse, you need to prepare ice packs in advance. Ice packs are enough. It's best not to use the unit refrigerator, which is unsanitary and inconvenient for everyone to drive around.
Breast pump, if you can go home at noon, you can go home at noon to kiss and feed, and the afternoon will be long. Find a place (empty office, bathroom if it is really not possible) to suck milk once and take it home after work at night.
Milk storage bag. Put the sucked milk into the bag in time, seal it, write the date and mark it to prevent it from expiring.
Before the child 1 year old, the mother will have 1 hour breastfeeding leave, which can be arranged in the morning, noon or evening according to the actual situation. Because frozen milk will be fishy, some babies may not like it at all. If you choose to bring milk, you need your mother to familiarize your child with the bottle in advance and accept bottle feeding.
In addition, we should arrange someone to take care of the child every day, teach her how to thaw frozen milk and get familiar with the child's habits.
Take the children, because there are few people in our company and the boss is more open-minded. Before our unit, there was a new mother with children. While mother was working, the children and grandma were resting in another empty house. When the weather is fine, the children are led out for a walk by their grandmother and come back to their mother when they need to be fed.
The advantage of this is that the baby can drink fresh breast milk at any time, but the problem is that it is easy to cause resentment from colleagues, especially noisy children will affect work. Like my former colleagues, because this mother has excellent performance, strong business ability, and her child is an angel and doesn't like crying very much, everyone not only admires her, but also helps her when necessary.
No matter which way you choose to breastfeed, I think you should do your job well and make the interpersonal relationship in the office better everywhere. Don't worry about whether the children will be hungry at work. On the contrary, you should try your best to do your job well and prove yourself with the results. After having a child, there will be many uncontrollable factors, such as the illness of the child, the delay of the child leading to your being late, sometimes it is inevitable to take time off by yourself or trouble colleagues. Only when you behave well, the boss will be willing to give you convenience and colleagues will be willing to help you bear it.
It is suggested that breast milk should be stored, milked by milking machine or hand, put into sterilized glass or plastic bottle, and cover with sealed bottle cap. It is desirable to use a breast milk storage bag,
