For most mothers, they will try to provide breastfeeding for their babies as much as possible, and they have encountered many problems in the process of breastfeeding, such as the quality of breast milk. I received a response from a mama, asking if the baby is only 4 months old, but it looks like a 1-year-old baby, not of is not the milk reason, because a while ago has been drinking pork feet soup, and now the baby grows fleshy, but also worried about whether it will be because their milk is too good, so that the baby is over-nourished! Will it be? YES or NO? Breast milk is the most natural, safe and complete natural food for babies to grow up, it contains all the nutrients and antibodies that babies need to grow up. It is true that the quality of breast milk is related to the fact that the postpartum mother chooses to breastfeed her baby and the baby becomes chubby or even overweight for development. If postpartum mothers often drink greasy milk-lactating soups after giving birth to their babies, such as pig’s feet soup and chicken soup, which are generally high in fat but relatively low in protein and vitamins, the postpartum mothers’ breast milk will have an unbalanced nutrient content, resulting in excess nutrition for the baby or even a certain nutrient deficiency. However, too good a quality of breast milk is not the absolute factor that leads to over-nutrition of the baby, and it is not even a bad thing. The scientific feeding method is the key to ensure the normal growth and development of the baby. We all know that breast milk is the most natural, safe and complete natural food for infant growth, it contains all the nutrients and antibodies needed for infant growth, especially breast milk contains 50% of fat, in addition to supplying baby’s body heat, but also to meet the fat needed for baby’s brain development (60% of the structure of the brain comes from fat); rich in calcium and phosphorus can make baby grow tall and strong; immune Globulins can effectively prevent and protect babies from infections and chronic diseases; Bifidus and oligosaccharides can inhibit the proliferation of intestinal bacteria and help digestion. The intimate contact and bonding of breastfeeding stimulates the development of the baby’s brain and mind. That is why most mothers will choose to breastfeed. In addition, breast milk can be divided into three major stages: 1. Colostrum: the milk secreted within 7 days after delivery is called colostrum. It is thick because it contains more beta carotene, protein and tangible substances. The colostrum contains more protein than mature milk, especially secretory IgA (SIgA), which is known as the earliest oral immune antibody obtained after birth, and less fat and lactose than mature milk. 2, transition milk: the milk secreted between 7-14 days after delivery is called transition milk. The amount of protein contained in it gradually decreases, while the fat and lactose content gradually increases, which is the transition from colostrum to mature milk. 3, mature milk: 14 days after the birth of the milk secreted is called mature milk, in fact, until about 30 days before it becomes stable. Scientific breastfeeding methods 1 correct breastfeeding methods and techniques mother no matter which feeding position you choose, the most important thing is to make the mother and baby feel comfortable and relaxed. Breastfeeding should be done in a fixed place and in a quiet environment, when feeding the mother to take a comfortable sitting position, nursing side of the foot slightly padded; let the baby’s head rest on the mother’s arm, the whole body side to the mother’s chest, head slightly higher, feet slightly lower, the mouth is facing the nipple. When the baby is picked up by the mother, lying in the same position, as long as the smell of the mother’s breast will be appetizing, eager to use the small mouth to find the nipple sucking milk. When the baby opens her mouth, the mother should bring the nipple into their mouth at the right time, taking care to insert the dark areola around the nipple together. This way, when the baby shuts up and sucks, she presses the small sac full of milk under the areola, ejecting the milk into the baby’s mouth and swallowing it. After nursing both breasts, when the baby stops sucking, gently press the baby’s tightly closed lower lip with your index finger to allow air to enter the mouth and eliminate negative pressure; then gently remove the nipple to avoid forcing the nipple out under strong negative pressure and breaking the nipple. Try to keep the baby awake during the whole breastfeeding process. After breastfeeding, hold the baby straight, with the head on the mother’s shoulder, facing the mother’s back, and gently pat the back to expel the air inhaled into the stomach during breastfeeding. Then, put the baby’s head slightly higher and lie down on the right side of the bed, do not turn over and do not shake to avoid overflow. When breastfeeding, pay attention to the infant’s changes and learn about their hunger, sucking speed, amount of milk sucked, emotional response, sucking intensity, swallowing rhythm, and spitting up. Breastfeeding behavior varies from infant to infant and has its own characteristics. The mother should know her child well enough to respond in an appropriate way. Only when the baby’s mouth is properly articulated with the nipple can it serve to suck the milk fully. If the baby’s mouth is only holding the nipple, the mouth is under negative pressure when sucking. At this time, although the suction is strong but can not make the milk from the small sac to spray, but also easy to the nipple skin injury, causing pain complications bacterial infection, resulting in breast abscess, so that breastfeeding can not be carried out smoothly. 2 Breastfeeding on demand within 2-3 months after birth Breastfeeding on demand means that within 2-3 months after birth, the mother gives breastfeeding according to the fullness of the breast and the performance of the baby’s hunger. Before and after each nursing session, the baby’s condition should be carefully observed and nursing should be given immediately when the baby sleeps, cries or is hungry. During 1-2 months, mother and baby should adapt to each other and gradually implement breastfeeding once every 3-4 hours, 8-15 minutes on each breast, and then 5-15 minutes on the other breast. After 3 months, as the infant sleeps longer at night, he or she can sleep for 5-6 hours at a time, and nighttime breastfeeding is reduced once. It is important to alternate breastfeeding between the right and left breast at a time so that each breast has the opportunity to be completely emptied. The emptier your breasts are, the more you can promote lactation, and the best lactation stimulant is for the baby to suck the breasts empty each time. Through the interaction between mother and baby, both sides gradually adapt to each other to establish a breastfeeding routine, so that babies can eat in a pleasant eating environment and emotion from birth, forming good eating habits that will benefit them throughout their lives. The mother needs to pay attention to the fact that if the baby sucks hard and rhythmically while breastfeeding and can hear swallowing sounds near the throat, it indicates that they are very hungry and are sucking hard; as the breast is gradually emptied and relaxed, the baby’s sucking force gradually decreases and the rhythm slows down, and finally stops sucking and goes to sleep, indicating that the baby is full. The only way for a postpartum mother to have sufficient milk to feed her baby is for her body to be healthy, and for her strength and spirit to nurture and care for her child, so she should pay close attention to her own health care. The daily rest time and sleep should be sufficient, adjusting her rest time according to the baby’s sleep rhythm, sleeping at least 8-9 hours day and night. Meals should not only meet the mother’s own health needs, but also meet lactation and provide the baby with all the nutrients it needs. Therefore, it is important to have a wide variety of food, sufficient quantity, and reasonable cooking so that the food has high nutritional value and meets the requirements of a balanced diet. In addition to the normal three meals, meals can be increased 2-3 times in the morning, afternoon and evening. Food should be mixed with dry and thin, pay attention to more soup and water, and feed more liquid than usual 1000-1500ml for lactation. Limit spicy and strong stimulating foods and prohibit smoking and alcohol. In order to increase the amount of lactation, more meat, fish, poultry soup, soybean, peanut stew and porridge also have a certain lactation effect. The postpartum mother’s day meal should ensure the intake of meat, poultry and eggs, milk, soybean products, etc., to meet the demand for high-quality protein for lactation; eat more seafood, fish oil and other foods to promote the development of the brain and retinal function of small babies on the demand for fat; eat more seaweed, nori, shrimp and other foods rich in calcium, iron and iodine to meet the needs of rapid growth and development of infants. Conclusion Mamas should know that the quality of breast milk is too good is indeed one of the reasons why babies are over-nourished, but good quality breast milk is not a bad thing. As long as the mothers reasonably arrange their diet balance, so that the baby can take in more fully comprehensive nutrients through breast milk, and the use of scientific breastfeeding, the baby will naturally grow up healthy and happy.
