From the point of view of parental feeding, human beings are mammals within 4 to 6 weeks after delivery. By nature, pro-feeding is the most natural state. Most newborns have built-in breastfeeding ability, and they will find their mommy's * * * at birth and start breastfeeding for the first time.
Sucking is very important for the baby's brain development. Mao Xinjie, director of pediatrics at Boren General Hospital, said that within 4 to 6 weeks after delivery, the newborn was born healthy and full-term, not a baby with medical conditions such as premature birth or illness, and the maternal condition was acceptable. It is generally suggested that mommy should start with breastfeeding, because even if there is breast obstruction or insufficient milk, breastfeeding can be solved and prevented through correct and frequent breastfeeding.
On the other hand, sucking accounts for a large part of baby's brain development. Empirical research shows that breastfeeding can reduce the risk of oral malocclusion and allergy, and the longer breastfeeding time, the better the baby's cognitive function. Encourage mommy to give priority to breastfeeding when her body and mind are in good condition and her baby is healthy.
However, if the baby is a healthy full-term newborn, and the mommy is not very flat, concave, small or big, but the baby still can't breastfeed smoothly after repeated attempts, it may be that the child has oral problems, such as tight tongue strap or rare oral movement disharmony. At this time, a lactation consultant should be invited to intervene and assist.
4 to 6 weeks after delivery, professional mothers who need to go to work can let their babies start to contact the bottle, imitate the bottle feeding and pro-feeding mode after work before going to work, and let the nurses practice bottle feeding; Full-time moms can continue to choose full-parent feeding and occasionally go out to ask someone to take care of them. The baby refuses to drink the bottle, and the custodian doesn't have to wait for mommy to come back. Spoons, cups, syringes, droppers, etc. Can be used as a feeding tool, can temporarily replace the bottle.
Director Mao Xinjie reminded that even mothers who choose bottle feeding can still try to keep 1 2 times a day when they have the chance, because most people use milking machines or hand-squeezing, which is easy to cause the problem of insufficient or unclean milk. However, as soon as the baby sucks milk, it will suck the mommy very soft and feel satisfied. This is a natural phenomenon.
Is there a difference in nutrition between parental feeding and bottle feeding? Breast milk is divided into pre-milk and post-milk, each with different nutritional values. Director Mao Xinjie stressed that as long as the supply and demand balance is maintained with the baby, both pro-feeding and bottle-feeding can make the child drink the front milk and the back milk. Unless the baby often farts, growls in his stomach, or burps and spits milk easily, it is not easy to be squeezed after clinical discovery, so the mother can eat more after milk by pro-feeding, and a bottle with a large amount of milk may squeeze out a lot of before milk. The baby eats more breast milk with high lactose content and large gas production. Although it is heavier and more beautiful, it is easy to exhaust. At this time, you can change to pro-feeding, which will improve.
As for drinking frozen breast milk, will the nutritional value be discounted compared with fresh breast milk? Director Mao Xinjie explained that the mother's milk fed by her parents was "sent directly from the place of origin". Assuming that mommy attaches great importance to nutrition, antibodies and growth factors in breast milk, the best effect is to absorb them directly from * * * *. If milk is refrigerated or frozen, the number of active cells will decrease, and the nutrients will be somewhat discounted.
The biggest advantage of bottle feeding is that others can't help you feed, but the biggest advantage of bottle feeding is that others can help mommy breastfeed, so mommy who is 4 to 6 weeks postpartum can choose the breastfeeding method she wants. Even a full-time mother who wants to have some time of her own can ask her husband to help feed the baby after milking on the premise of milking smoothly and squeezing out the baby's drinks, and can also maintain the flexibility of breastfeeding.
Can't you have a rest when you are feeding your baby? In addition, many mothers who dare not try full-parent feeding will worry that after doing so, the baby will hang milk all day and be tired! On this issue, Director Mao Xinjie mentioned that this is the worry of many mothers in the early stage of breastfeeding. Although newborns within 1 month need to breastfeed 8 ~ 12 times a day, it will not be like this forever. 2. After the maturity and sucking skills of babies over 3 months are better, it can be extended to 2, 3 hours or 4, 5 hours, depending on the needs of individual babies.
Are parental feeding, bottle feeding and * * * easy to deform? Many mothers are worried that * * * will be deformed easily after breastfeeding. Director Mao Xinjie thinks that the shapes of * * * and * * * are more plastic during lactation. Assuming that the original * * * and areola are very small, they may become longer and bigger because they are put into the baby's mouth, including the original depressed mommy, which may stand out because of the baby's licking and sucking after breastfeeding. Stop.
However, if the kissing posture is wrong, or the milking machine is improperly used and the size is wrong, it will cause injury and deformation. Director Mao Xinjie reminded, "As long as there is pain, it is not right! It is less painful to feed or use a milking machine correctly. Pain is a very accurate alarm in clinic. At this time, you can ask the nursing staff in the hospital and the month center or consult the lactation consultant to help guide and deal with it.
In fact, in the early stage of breastfeeding, * * * may be sensitive and stinging, which is normal, but the premise is that * * * is complete and there are no wounds, indentations, bleeding and broken skin. If the pain gets worse every day for more than 2 weeks, it is a problem. You can consult a lactation consultant to make adjustments. Director Mao Xinjie reminded us that in the early lactation period, when * * * and areola are in the process of "tender skin becoming old skin", they can be air-dried more, so that the new skin will not hurt again when it grows.
Bottle feeding to parental feeding, 2 steps to success.
Many mothers successfully milked their babies in the month center, and some people helped feed them. I didn't expect to fall from heaven to hell when I got home. I didn't have time to milk, and the milk volume suddenly dropped, or I stopped when I didn't have time to milk at home. Director Mao Xinjie analyzed that the most common reason for bottle feeding to parent feeding is not breastfeeding and stopping breastfeeding. Another reason is that the baby was hospitalized prematurely and missed the opportunity to practice pro-feeding with the baby. After the baby recovers, I want to switch to pro-feeding.
Director Mao Xinjie suggested that mothers who want to switch to pro-feeding should start the following steps as soon as they have an idea:
Step 1: Make skin contact first.
When mommy wants to switch from bottle feeding to pro-feeding, the baby refuses to contain milk, falls asleep after a few bites, or is willing to eat, but mommy is extremely painful. Step 1 can start with skin contact. At this point, in principle, let the baby wear diapers. Even if you wear clothes, it is mainly light and thin, such as fart clothes and gauze clothes. Show the baby's hands and feet and let the baby lie on his chest. The purpose is not to put * * * in the baby's mouth, but to cultivate feelings, establish relationships, and let children know the taste of mommy. At this time, when the baby wants to eat, he will slowly go to * * *.
Step 2: Reclining feeding method
Dr. Mao Xinjie said that the practice of consulting mommy is most often recommended in outpatient clinics, which is called "biological feeding method", also known as supine feeding method. Mommy's action is to hold the baby with her hands a little bit first, and lie down and let the baby lie on her body. He went to * * * to try to contain it. There are many examples of failed feeding. It is common for mommy to push the baby's head to eat, or for the baby to cry as soon as it is placed in the cradle. Try the baby-led reclining feeding method to make both mommy and baby comfortable.
If the above two steps are ineffective, it may be a special case, such as premature delivery and immature baby. The baby needs more practice, can give more time, or hug him more, try to use a scarf, etc. Every child has different characteristics, and it will be smoother to find a soothing method suitable for your baby.
