After the baby is discharged from the hospital, new mothers are often plagued with these questions: “Am I getting enough milk? How do I know if my baby is getting enough?” Why do these doubts arise? The reason is that new mothers are not able to judge the performance of their children’s breastfeeding, and there are many “illusions” that affect parents’ judgment! Illusion 1: It takes more than an hour to breastfeed, why is the child not full? At the beginning of breastfeeding, the child is hungry to produce effective sucking, in addition to the sucking action, there is also swallowing action, with a long time sucking, the child will produce fatigue, only weak sucking action or sleep with the nipple, at this time should keep waking up the child to effective sucking, general feeding 10-15 minutes can basically achieve the sucking effect. False impression Two The breast milk is still enough to eat at the beginning, but a few days later the child is not full. 1 week to 3 months after birth, there will be rapid growth in height and weight, due to the growth needs, the amount of food will also increase, at this time the new mother should not doubt that her milk is enough to eat, but should let the child suck as much as possible, and squeeze out the remaining milk, so that the next effective secretion. The more milk is sucked, the more times it is sucked, the more milk is produced. The more often you suck, the more milk you will have. Because of the difference in physiology, the amount of milk is different for each new mother. It is true that your milk is not as much as other new mothers, but this does not mean that your milk is not enough for your baby. Although the amount of milk production is related to physiological factors and genetics, it can be improved by early sucking and increasing the number of sucking sessions. Falsehood 4: Is the milk very thin, is it bad quality? Mother’s milk is divided into foremilk and hindmilk. The milk that the child eats in the first 10 minutes belongs to foremilk, which is thin and has more water. The milk after that is called hind milk, which is rich in fat and milky. Therefore, breastfeeding advocates that one breast should be sucked for more than 10 minutes, and if it is changed too quickly, the child will always be unable to eat the nutritious hind milk. False impression five child sucking hard to suck the nipple are broken, is not enough to eat? Scientific feeding position is important, the baby and mother’s abdomen should be close together and the child’s chin should be close to the mother’s breast. And be sure to suck to the areola, the top exposed areola than the bottom, because the secretion of milk sinus is in the areola below, light containing the nipple is certainly difficult to suck milk, and easy to suck the nipple broken, in addition, the milk is thin is not bad milk quality, new mothers can not worry. Illusion 6: Your baby will fall asleep after a couple of mouthfuls and wake up again after a short while, is it because you are not full? Babies who fall asleep after eating milk for a while are not really asleep, but are fatigued and often need to stop eating for a while and repeatedly stimulate or wake up several times before they are really full.
