A, nipple illusion or nipple confusion, parents often say “do not eat the nipple”, mostly because the baby eats the mother’s nipple before sucking on the pacifier or bottle, do not eat the mother’s nipple, do not love to eat breast milk. If the baby stops breastfeeding within a month of birth, such as feeding the baby milk from a bottle, the child may no longer want to suck on the mother’s nipple. It is difficult to correct this situation, and some children cannot even correct it. It is recommended to have firm confidence in breastfeeding and not to give up breastfeeding easily, but to be very patient and insist on it. Second, how to prevent it? The first few days of the baby’s life, because of insufficient breast milk, or other reasons, the mother can not be hand-fed, you can use a spoon, a small cup, to feed the baby breast milk or formula, do not give too early to the baby to eat pacifier or bottle. Because the baby eats the bottle than eating breast milk to save effort, it will cause the baby nipple illusion, at the same time because the baby sucks less, the mother’s milk secretion will also be reduced. Three, how to make the baby accept the mother’s kiss feeding? 1, the baby’s acceptance of the nipple’s or pacifier, it is easy to have preconceptions. It is much easier to suck a pacifier than to suck breast milk. The pacifier milk flow rate is faster than the flow rate of breast milk and easier to meet the baby sucking. So breastfeeding mother, milk must be secreted a lot, baby sucking easily, then the baby will naturally accept breastfeeding. It is recommended to promote breast milk, drink more Tongkatsi boiled carp soup, Tongkatsi boiled pig’s feet soup. When you feel that your breasts are swollen, use a breast pump to suck out the milk and put it into a bottle to feed your baby. Let your baby suckle occasionally to stimulate milk production. You can also mix milk and milk powder together and feed the baby (more milk, less milk powder). When the baby sucks with more power, he or she will not feel strained to suck the nipple and will eventually accept breastfeeding. 2, nipple illusion is easy to make the baby not to eat breast milk. Many new mothers because of postpartum weakness, pain, after delivery can not breastfeed in time, every time you see the baby restless, crying, you will use a small bottle or a small spoon to feed the baby. This often gives babies who have never been exposed to the nipple the illusion that breastfeeding is a simple and easy task, and when they really start sucking on the nipple, the baby will show signs of boredom, making it difficult to breastfeed in the future. It is recommended that you must breastfeed your baby as soon as possible after delivery, preferably within an hour of delivery. Early sucking is good for the baby’s adaptation to the nipple and can also promote lactation and facilitate the recovery of the mother’s strength after delivery. 3. Sucking on the nipple and sucking on a pacifier require two very different skills. The bottle teat is longer and fills the entire mouth, so the baby saves effort and pain when sucking, just use the upper and lower lips to gently squeeze the rubber teat without moving the tongue, and the milk will flow into the mouth through the rubber teat with a larger opening, while when sucking on the mother’s nipple, you must first extend your tongue, curl the nipple and pull it into the mouth, so that the nipple and most of the areola form a long nipple, and then use your tongue to push the nipple towards the hard palate, using this This method is used to squeeze out the milk that accumulates in the areola. In contrast, sucking on a rubber pacifier saves effort and makes it easier to obtain milk, whereas breast milk must be stimulated by vigorous sucking to promote lactation. Once the baby gets used to the rubber pacifier, it will have the illusion of sucking the mother’s nipple again. How to correct it? 1. Stop using the bottle Stop using the bottle and feed your baby with a small spoon and a small cup before he or she accepts the mother’s nipple again. Don’t give the bottle as soon as the baby cries, so that the baby gets the message that the only way to get a bottle is to cry. 2, massage the breast before breastfeeding The baby is eating the mother’s nipple, sucking hard for 1-3 minutes before the milk is secreted. While taking a bottle, the baby can drink milk as long as it sucks gently. Therefore, the mother can massage her breasts before breastfeeding to stimulate milk secretion, so that the baby can get breast milk soon as soon as she takes the nipple. 3. Stimulate lactation to increase milk volume Some mothers with confused nipples also have the problem of insufficient milk. If the baby is able to cooperate with sucking on the nipple, the mother teases and kisses the baby when he is in a good mood. If the baby refuses to eat the nipple and cannot cooperate, the mother can use an auxiliary breast pump to stimulate the breast to secrete milk. I had no milk when I was first born, and as soon as I heard me cry, I would rush to feed milk powder, and gradually I got used to the feeling of sucking. When my mother had milk, I could be in a mood, eating with such effort, and of course, I would think that only that habitual bottle had the milk to fill my stomach.
