Learning to be a nursing mother

Apply baby to the breast, to help him take the breast.Make sure that the child is not only captured the nipple, areola and - pigmented area around the nipple skin.So the kid can completely emptying the breast, this will help avoid many troubles.

If the child does not want to open her mouth, gently press it with your thumb to your little chin.Put the nipple deep into his mouth in the middle of the tongue.If the kid took the nipple itself, but captured the areola, put his index finger in the corner of his mouth and a bit of cheek rewound.He opens her mouth, and you will correct nipple.Keep your chest did not close the spout baby.In this case it is necessary to hold the chest slightly above.

about three days to come milk.To the next day you do not have swollen breasts, now restrict fluid intake to 1 liter.Talk with the child, smiling at him as he sleeps, sing lullaby when put to bed.

If the birth went without complications, on the second day you can start to do the exercises that promote recovery after childbirth.In other cases (for dissection of the perineum, caesarean section, etc.) is to wait 2-4 weeks with classes and be sure to consult with your doctor.

At high tide, milk, chest pain occur as if needles prick inside her.At this time, due to the excess milk can block the ducts of the breast (this is called lactostasis) - the state is very unpleasant and even dangerous.Therefore it is important to warn him in time.

First of all, must be observed after the birth right drinking regime.

If nalilas chest became heavy, solid, liquid limit to cup a day.Moisten lips, mouth rinse.You can suck on ice cubes of lemon or cranberry juice.If the breast is still soft drink with caution, because the milk can come at any moment.If your breasts hard not to express it directly after the feeding: the milk will surge once again, and you will only aggravate the situation.It is best to do this in between feedings.

need to express milk only if, after breastfeeding remained solid.Warm up under a warm shower to relax your chest.Lean slightly forward to improve the outflow of milk.Massage the hardened segments.To do this, place your left hand under the chest, and the index and middle fingers of his right gently massage in a circular motion, moving downward from the base of the breast to the nipple.In this way, we customize stagnant milk to the areola.Then grab peripapillary area between the thumb and index finger and pushes them towards the chest.You open and close the thumb and index finger as long as the pressure-sensitive does not stand a trickle of milk.Therefore, you should gently promassirovat and empty chest.

If little milk

after cesarean section, medication delivery and other complications of milk at the beginning may be small.Do not rush to give formula.Most likely, the situation could be normalized.First of all, calm down and try as much as possible to put the baby to the breast, and let us at each feeding both breasts, first one, he will empty completely (if necessary it can decant) and then for a short time - second (it express not necessary).It is important that both breasts received signal for milk production.

15 minutes before feeding drink a glass of warm liquid - broth hips or Buryat tea: in a strong brew, add the hot milk is not diluted with water, drink without sugar.

asked her husband to make you a relaxing massage of neck and back.

What could have a breastfeeding mom, and what is not?

When I gave birth to her first child, still in the hospital heard a lot of conflicting advice on this matter and was never able to make a detailed list of undesirable products.Most often mentioned advisers onions and garlic, which spoil the taste and smell of milk.What about other products Opinions advisors disagreed.We had to check all the experience.

undesirable to eat foods with a pungent odor, sharp, highly salted.You should not use the products from which you can become swollen belly - the baby immediately begin gases.Food should be gentle, no-frills diet.

A basic rule - if you notice a change in the status of the child (anxiety, skin rashes, changes in the character of the chair), remember what you ate today, try to understand what products could cause your baby discomfort.These products should be temporarily excluded from the diet.If the exclusion of undesirable from your point of view, the products of changes for the better not happen, then you have correctly identified the cause of ailments baby.

In no case do not drink!Even in small doses!Alcohol stays in a woman's blood for a long time and gets in the milk almost immediately.Do not succumb to the entreaties to drink only a sip!And sip can upset the child's health for a long time!There are persistent rumors that beer improves lactation ....This is not true.But the beer, like any other alcohol is dangerous for the baby!

Try and refrain from strong tea, especially coffee.Even if earlier you could not imagine his morning without a cup of strong coffee aroma, this would have to give up as long as you feed the baby.

If you really want to enjoy the taste of coffee, drink, drink chicory - it resembles the taste of coffee, but completely harmless.Some moms say that after a cup of chicory drink they begin a rush of milk.That is, chicory has laktogonnymi properties.

But should drink it drink "soluble chicory" and not "drink coffee with chicory."This drink still has real coffee.
