The correct way to feed your baby or not is related to the healthy development and growth of your child. Although there is a lot of parenting feeding knowledge propaganda, but nowadays there are still some misconceptions among mothers and fathers. One of the seven misconceptions: My milk didn’t come down, it’s better to let the baby eat formula first! Babies can be nursed for half an hour after birth, and each time it can last for half an hour, even if there is no breast milk. After delivery, it is advisable for the mother and baby to be in the same room and let the baby suck on the nipple more often, which will not only enhance the relationship, but also promote the secretion of milk due to the baby’s sucking. The secretion of milk is affected by many factors. The mother should eat more diluted juices, such as chicken soup, fish soup and pork ribs soup, which have a certain effect on milk secretion. At the same time, the mother should maintain a good mental state, emotional stability, good spirits, do not worry about irritation, but also have the confidence and enthusiasm to breastfeed their babies, because bad emotions can lead to a reduction in lactation, or even breast milk, bringing more trouble. The second of the seven misconceptions: the milk just secreted looks so dirty, it is better to squeeze it out! Colostrum is the milk secreted by the mother within a week after delivery, which is yellowish and sticky (actually not dirty), and the amount is very little, which is very precious. Colostrum is rich in nutrients and can increase the baby’s resistance to disease and can protect the baby’s healthy growth. Colostrum also helps babies to excrete meconium from their bodies and cleanse their intestines. Therefore, even if the mother has little breast milk or is ready to stop breastfeeding, she must give her baby colostrum. Seven misconceptions: sleepy at night, or lying down to breastfeeding comfortable! Postpartum fatigue, coupled with the constant feeding and diaper changing during the day, makes mothers very sleepy at night. When the baby cries at night, the mother will feel very annoyed, sometimes the nipple to the baby’s mouth a send, the baby to eat the milk will not cry, the mother may fall asleep again, which is very dangerous. This is very dangerous. Because the baby is close to the mother when eating milk, the sleeping mother can easily press the baby’s nostrils, so that tragedy may occur, in order to avoid this kind of thing, the mother better sit up when breastfeeding at night. Seven misconceptions No. 4: My baby is fed with formula, and in order for the baby to eat enough, I mix the formula to make it thicker. Food is absorbed in the intestinal tract, and if the osmotic pressure of food is too high (milk is mixed thicker), it can cause vomiting, bloating, diarrhea, dehydration and other manifestations. At the same time, most of the metabolic waste has to be excreted through the kidneys, and the development and function of the kidneys in infancy and early childhood are still immature and have limited ability to regulate the metabolism of nutrients. If the milk is too thick, it will increase the burden on the kidneys. Seven misconceptions: I put my baby to bed immediately after feeding him, I am too tired to hold him. Don’t put your baby on the bed immediately after feeding him, but hold him upright and let him rest his head on his mother’s shoulder, or let him sit on his mother’s lap, with one hand holding his pillow and the back of his neck, and the other hand bending and patting him on the back, so that the air swallowed in the stomach can be spit out to prevent overflow. After breastfeeding, the father can also pick up the baby and burp him. Myth #6: If one breast is finished, the baby is full, so save the milk from the other breast for the next time! When breastfeeding, you should let your baby eat all the milk from one breast before eating the other. If your baby is full from only one side of the breast, you should express the milk from the other side. The purpose of doing this is to prevent breast distention. Not only does it cause pain and discomfort to the mother, but it can also lead to mastitis and reflexively cause a decrease in lactation. You can use a breast pump to suck out the milk and empty the breast. Myth #7: Babies are exclusively breastfed and cannot be given water at all. Although some people believe that babies within 4-6 months only need breast milk and do not need to add water, but it depends on the situation. The winter weather in the north is dry, if the indoor temperature is too high, newborns are prone to dehydration. Furthermore, the baby’s body will be dehydrated when the weather is too hot or when diarrhea occurs. When dehydrated, the baby’s lips look dry and flaky, and he or she is emotionally upset and cries. It is recommended that it is best to control the indoor temperature between 20-25 ℃, the northern winter indoor humidifier to keep the air moist. See dry lips can use a small spoon to feed the baby a few sips of plain water.
