Mothers know that breastfeeding is good and they should try to breastfeed their babies, but in the process of breastfeeding, many mothers go into misunderstandings, are you also in it? And how to deal with it? Myth #1: Anger is toxic milk after, can not give the baby to drink Mood swings will not affect the composition of the breast milk, it is possible to breastfeed. If a breastfeeding mother is irritable, sad or angry, it may affect the activity of the mother’s pituitary gland, inhibit the secretion of prolactin and reduce the secretion of milk. Therefore, in order to ensure the secretion of milk, it is recommended that breastfeeding mothers maintain a calm and joyful state of mind for a long time and ensure sufficient sleep and sleep quality. Myth 2: Breast milk is not nutritious after 6 months Exclusive breastfeeding from 0-6 months can provide all the nutrition needed by the baby, and after that, even though complementary foods are added, breast milk can still provide considerable nutrition for the baby, while breast milk can reduce diarrhea, allergies and other diseases, so infants and children from 7 to 24 months old should continue breastfeeding, and it can last until 2 years old or above. The common cold is usually caused by viral infection, the virus usually multiplies in the upper whistle tract, so it does not reach the blood and breast milk, but the mother and baby close contact, including breastfeeding, through the whistle tract and hands may infect the baby, so the mother can continue to breastfeed, but the mother better wear a mask and pay attention to their own hand hygiene, to help reduce the risk of infection to the baby The same goes for the baby’s cold, which can also be transmitted to the mother. Myth 4: You can’t breastfeed if you have mastitis. You don’t need to stop breastfeeding if you have a fever caused by mastitis, unless you have a localized breast infection or an acute infectious disease. It is recommended to communicate with your doctor to choose medication that is safe and suitable for breastfeeding, especially the choice of antibiotics. At this time, it is recommended that the mother breastfeeds diligently and allows the baby to suck frequently, which is the most effective way to help empty the breast and is very useful in preventing and treating mastitis. Also choose a reasonable feeding position to facilitate the smooth discharge of milk. Myth 5: Foremilk is not nutritious, so milk should be milked out and fed again It is best not to milk out. Foremilk is rich in protein, lactose, vitamins, minerals and water, but the fat content is lower and appears thinner. As your baby eats milk for a longer period of time, the breast milk becomes thicker, which is the hind milk, which is higher in fat and appears to be thicker. Therefore, it is recommended that both foremilk and hindmilk should be eaten together, so as to benefit the baby’s growth! Myth 6: You can’t feed your baby when you are distended. In this case, it is even more recommended that your baby sucks more in time. Even if your baby can’t eat the milk, it is recommended that your mother use a breast pump to suck up the excess milk, which can not only relieve the mother’s breast distension, but also promote milk secretion. Generally, after 1-2 days, the milk ducts can be cleared, but excessive swelling of the breast, the mother is often in pain, the following methods can be taken to relieve the discomfort: 1.
