At the beginning of breastfeeding, mothers seem to have some milk deficiency, but that’s okay, breastfeeding is a systematic act that requires patience and time. But gradually, many mothers run out of milk or fail to breastfeed as a direct result of their preoccupation with breastfeeding. There are so many benefits of breastfeeding that we won’t talk about them. Today we will talk about some of the common misconceptions of breastfeeding, mothers have to change, not to add, to avoid the minefield is also responsible for the baby. 1, mother just after birth, baby first drink sugar water / milk powder Some elderly people will suggest to the newborn baby drink sugar water or milk powder, and so the mother a little recovery before feeding. In fact, it is not necessary, the baby should be given skin contact as soon as possible after birth and start breastfeeding as early as possible. Glucose can only correct hypoglycemia and can cause a rapid rise in blood sugar. Giving glucose water to a baby with normal blood sugar may cause damage to his pancreas and kidneys, while other milk types outside of breast milk may become a trigger for future allergies. 2, before each feeding mother to wash the nipple Some people think that the nipple is not hygienic, each feeding should be cleaned first, in fact, breastfeeding is bacterial feeding, the baby will be on the mother’s nipple probiotics inhaled into the stomach, conducive to the balance of the baby’s intestinal flora. Cleaning the nipples before each feeding not only adds unnecessary trouble, but also washes away the beneficial bacteria on the nipples. It is worth being alert to the fact that many mothers stop feeding because of cracked nipples, resulting in breastfeeding failure, which is not uncommon in reality. 3, the mother with small breasts must not have enough milk The amount of breast milk and the size of the mother’s breasts is completely irrelevant! The lactation is determined by the mammary glands, not that the bigger the breast the more mammary glands, so the kind of “look at your chest so small, how enough to eat my grandson” remarks ignore, mothers do not have to worry, flat chest can also have a high yield! Breastfeeding confidence is shaken, this is the big taboo of breastfeeding, remember not to cause any harm to the baby mother. 4, baby six months, breast milk is not nutritious, drink formula There is a saying that when the baby six months after breast milk is not nutritious, so we have to change the baby to drink formula. In fact, the nutritional composition of breast milk is always changing, according to the baby’s developmental stage and needs, from birth to three or four months, the baby grows quickly, the fat content of breast milk is also high, and if you express it, you will find that breast milk is very white and thick, and the milk is more nutritious. When the baby grows slower and has lower nutritional requirements, the nutritional content of the milk will also decrease. As long as the baby is still eating breast milk, breast milk is still enough, there is no need to drink formula, but at six months the baby will have a demand for supplementary food, you can add some supplementary food, of course, breast milk is still the staple food of the baby within 1 year old. 5, mother take medicine / sick, do not give baby breastfeeding Some mothers breastfeeding cold or use drugs will be worried about the baby, afraid to let him eat milk. In fact, most drugs only extremely small amounts can enter the breast milk, almost no effect on the baby, sickness is also. Generally speaking, except for AIDS, there is no disease that can not breastfeed a mother, of course, if it is a cold or other easily infected disease, breastfeeding can wear a mask to prevent droplets from contacting the baby, to maintain hygiene can be. If you are really worried, you can consult with your doctor before you get sick and use medication, so that you can choose medication that will have less impact on your baby.
