Feeding a newborn is a big learning curve. The expert opinion is that the sooner you breastfeed after birth, the better, usually about half an hour after birth. If the mother does not secrete milk temporarily, we should also try to let the newborn suck the nipple to promote milk secretion, and enhance the feelings of mother and baby to help the mother heal from the postnatal wounds caused by childbirth. The newborn should be held in a vertical position, with the head slightly elevated, which is the most ideal and natural way to feed the baby. If the mother has respiratory diseases, she should wear a mask when breastfeeding. If the skin on the breast is broken or inflamed, she should consult a doctor and decide whether to continue breastfeeding. When breastfeeding, it is best to suck one breast empty and feed it to the full and then switch to the other breast next time to prevent residual milk from accumulating in the breast. If there is still extra milk in one breast after feeding, it is best to express it to promote normal lactation and avoid milk stagnation or secondary infection. If you are feeding a newborn, you should not feed the newborn directly because the protein and other nutrients contained in it are not suitable for the newborn; when feeding a mixed diet (breastfeeding and milk substitute feeding combined), breastfeeding should be the first priority. When artificial feeding, the size of the pacifier hole should be moderate and pay attention to the temperature. When pacifier feeding, try not to let the baby suck in air to avoid vomiting, and after feeding, you can pat the baby’s back to avoid accumulating gas. In addition, bottles and pacifiers should be sterilized by strict boiling. Feeding does not need to be timed too much. Generally, you should feed your baby once every 3 hours and take the principle of having enough and eating well each time, i.e. your baby does not cry or make noise after feeding and has normal weight gain. The amount of milk to be fed is based on the principle of slowly increasing from less to more, and the sign that the baby is full is that he or she is satisfied and has no intention of eating again. If the baby’s tummy is not swollen and bulging to the touch, and there is no vomiting, it means that the feeding is almost done. In general, as long as the baby eats steadily and gains weight steadily, there is no big problem. If your baby loses his appetite, vomits all the time, or has abnormal bowel movements, it’s time to see a doctor for a checkup. Premature babies need more nutrients from breast milk because of their congenital deficiencies. However, the younger the gestational age and the lighter the baby’s weight, the smaller the amount of each feeding, and the shorter the interval between feedings. You should also pay attention to whether or not there is any belly rash, vomiting, etc. As the baby’s food intake increases, the mother should also take more nutrition. The longer the interval between feedings, but there are cases when the baby suddenly asks for milk, this should also be met in time, do not refuse and do not worry, because your body will replenish milk in time as needed.
