Whether a baby is fed correctly or not is a matter of the child’s healthy development and growth. Although there is a lot of parenting and feeding knowledge propaganda, but nowadays mothers and fathers still have some misunderstandings. One of the seven misconceptions: My milk is not down, or let the baby eat formula first! Babies can be breastfed for half an hour after birth, and each time can last for half an hour, even if there is no milk. After the birth of the mother and baby in the same room, let the baby suck on the nipple, which can not only enhance the relationship, but also because of the baby’s sucking and promote milk secretion. The secretion of milk is affected by many factors. Consuming more diluted juice, such as chicken soup, fish soup, pork chop soup, etc., has a certain effect on increasing breast milk. At the same time, the mother should maintain a good state of mind, emotional stability, happy spirit, do not worry about irritation, but also competent breastfeeding baby’s confidence and enthusiasm, due to poor mood can lead to reduced lactation, or even breast milk, bringing more trouble. The second of the seven myths: just secreted milk looks dirty, or squeeze out! Colostrum is the milk secreted within a week after childbirth, yellowish in color, sticky (actually not dirty), the amount is very small, very precious. Colostrum is rich in nutrients, can increase the baby’s resistance to disease and can protect the baby’s healthy growth. Colostrum can also help babies expel meconium from the body and clean the intestines. Therefore, even if the breast milk is small or ready to not breastfeeding mothers must feed colostrum to the baby. Myth No. 3: I’m sleepy at night, so it’s better to lie down and breastfeed! Postpartum fatigue, coupled with the constant feeding and changing of diapers during the day, makes mothers very sleepy at night. At night when the baby cries, the mother will feel very annoyed, sometimes the nipple to the baby’s mouth, the baby to eat milk will not cry, the mother may fall asleep again, this is very dangerous. Because the baby breastfeeding and the mother close to the sleeping mother is easy to press the baby’s nostrils, so the tragedy may occur, in order to avoid this kind of thing, the mother of breastfeeding at night when it is best to sit up. The fourth of the seven myths: my baby feeding formula, in order for the baby to eat enough, I mix the milk powder thicker. Food is absorbed in the intestines, and if the osmotic pressure of the food is too high (milk is mixed thickly), it will cause vomiting, bloating, diarrhea, dehydration and other manifestations. At the same time, most of the metabolic wastes have to be excreted through the kidneys, while the development and function of the kidneys in infancy and early childhood are still immature, and the ability to regulate the metabolism of nutrients is limited. If the milk is too thick, it will increase the burden on the kidneys. The fifth of the seven myths: I put the baby on the bed immediately after feeding, holding it is too tired. After feeding the baby do not immediately put on the bed, but to hold the baby upright so that the baby’s head on the mother’s shoulder, you can also let the baby sit in the mother’s lap, with one hand to support the baby’s occiput and the back of the neck, and the other hand bent over the baby’s back, patting, so that the swallowed air in the stomach spit out, to prevent overflow of milk. After breastfeeding, the father can also take over the baby, for the baby burp. The sixth of the seven myths: one breast to eat, the baby is full, the other side of the breast of the milk save the baby next time to eat it! When breastfeeding, you should let your baby eat all of one breast and then eat the other. If the baby is already full from only one side of the breast, the milk from the other side should be squeezed out. The purpose of this is to prevent milk distention. Not only does it cause pain and discomfort for 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 your breasts. The seventh of the seven myths: the baby is exclusively breastfeeding, can not give the baby water at all. Although there are some views 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, so if the indoor temperature is too high, newborns are prone to dehydration. Moreover, when the weather is too hot or when diarrhea occurs, the baby’s body will also be dehydrated. When dehydrated, the baby’s lips look dry and flaky, and the baby is emotionally upset and cries. It is recommended that the best control of indoor temperature between 20-25 ℃, the northern winter indoor to use a humidifier to keep the air moist. When you see dry lips, you can use a small spoon to feed your baby a few mouthfuls of plain water.
