Breastfeeding - a significant stage in the life of the child and the mother, as well as - in the development of their relations.
During this period it is important to observe the basic rules and to find those healthy posture in which the mother and child will be comfortable during breastfeeding.
most commonly used three basic positions for breastfeeding, in a variety of options.Look for that position korleniya breast, which will be the most comfortable for you and baby.Illustrations of postures described below, you can see in our gallery.
Classic posture breastfeeding - "cradle" and "cross-cradle»
mother holding her baby at the breast in front, grasping it with one hand while the other takes the breast.In this position may be possible.
One moms convenient bow baby one hand, closer to that of his head, giving the chest with the other hand (position "cradle" - that is, if the baby had her left breast, the mother holding his left hand and right-hand supports the breast and vice versa).The head of the baby is on the mother's hands elbow.
other women more suited same posture with a slight change.You bow baby hand, the opposite breast, he sucks (that is, the baby sucks the left breast while you hold it with your right hand and left breasts are applying).This option is called "cross-cradle".It is especially important for infants, as Mom holds the baby's head with his hand.
«Cross-cradle" on the pillow is suitable for the smallest Keep baby correctly captured chest nipple should be above the baby's mouth, almost at the level of his nose.Feeding breast, nipple to aim upward to the sky.So it will achieve more wide-open mouths and less pain during suckling.
In any of the versions of "cradle" of very young children is convenient to put on the pillow so as not to get tired hands.Tummy baby must be turned to my mother.If you want to lift the leg, substitute a small bench, inverted bowl or a special footrest.
Breastfeeding lying - maximum comfort
Mother and baby lying sideways to each other, the woman's head on a pillow.The shoulder is below the cushion, and that the hand on which side lies a woman covers crumbs.The baby's head may lie on the forearm of my mother (in the crook of the elbow), but not necessarily.
With large soft breasts help stranded roller pelenochka planted under his chest.If the shape of the breast is that when lying on the side of the nipple looks down, will be more convenient not to lay a hand under his head crumbs, and instead put his hands burned four times a thick diaper.If the kid really tiny, it can put on a small pillow.
Never hang over the child, bent arm and leaning on his elbow - it leads to a rapid longing, pain in the muscles and, as a consequence, the worst outflow of milk.Look for those options that will suit you more.Toddler can put legs to your stomach or your head - as you both will be more convenient.
Breastfeeding lying true for mothers after vaginal delivery and caesarean section.And whenever you want to relax: in this position you can breastfeed at night, even without waking up completely.
practice, however this situation is not worth it if you have problems with the correct breastfeeding - there is a chance that the baby will take shallow chest and gradually "will slide" on the nipple and it will injure the gums.As long as the baby learns to grasp the breast properly, the practice of other provisions of breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding out of hand, out of the armpits
kid is on the side of the mother, the legs go back, at her mother's tummy hips and head against her breast.Mum embraces the child with the hand on which side it is.So it turns out that the baby is at hand.Under the hand holding the crumbs, you can put a pillow (not even one to the baby's head was slightly above the body).
you can get on the bed, propped a pillow behind his back and settle down next to the child side, on the pillow, too.If it is difficult to sit after episiotomy, take a reclined position in which support will be on the tailbone and lower back.
after cesarean section is also conveniently fed from under his arm: in this case more comfortable to sit on a chair polubokom before bed, which has a kid (still on the pillow), there will be less pressure on the joint.
Breastfeeding from the armpits can be most suitable for premature infants because they have a weak muscles, but in this position the baby's head is in the palm of my mother, and it is easier to help the crumbs to take the breast.
important rule breastfeeding
Try as soon as possible to learn how to feed in different positions.
Firstly, it is convenient.Change position allows you to offload some muscles while others work.After all, mom and baby have to withstand greater physical activity.
Secondly, breastfeeding in different positions provide a better emptying of the different segments of the breast, which is the prevention of breast milk stagnation.
There are a few rules that must be respected regardless of the posture of breastfeeding.
1. In any situation it is important that all of the child's body in the same plane - head, shoulders, stomach and legs.For example, in the supine position the baby to lie on its side, but not on his back, turned sideways with his head to his chest (it's difficult swallowing, causes muscle clamps).
2. Small children have to bow arm diagonally, from the head to the feet, gently but firmly locking head.
3. Chest serve, maintaining it as a bowl, four fingers below and your thumb on top.
4. always attract the baby to the breast, taking a comfortable position, but do not pull in his chest, leans heavily.
5. Invest chest deep in the mouth, with the areola (the areola).If it is an impressive size, the bottom crumb should it grab more than the top.
6. The lips of the child should be turned outwards, the tab located on the lower gum, sucking Avoid clicking and smacking sounds.If these sounds are heard, ask doctors believe bridle language.Short bridle should be cut to the baby can fully breastfeed, and not to injure the mother.
7. In places where you feed your baby more often, it is advisable to have several pillows of different sizes, so you can always correctly and comfortably.
Sometimes Mom faced some difficulties in the beginning.Do not give up, ask for help from consultants on breastfeeding.Ask children to the sisters taught you to put your baby in the hospital, gaining experience dolgokormyaschih moms.
Struggling with milk stagnation
If stagnation (lactostasis) still had a need to ensure the most effective drainage of milk from the breast of the share, which was formed stagnation.This is achieved in such attachment to the breast in which the lower jaw of the child account for the stagnation.
That's where the kid working the lower jaw, is the strongest outflow of milk.For example, when there is congestion in the upper chest (if present in the form of chest hours, at 12 hours), you can lie on your side from the problem chest and attach the baby jack - so that his feet were sent to the head of the mother.If necessary, under the head or body can put the baby pillow.
In other cases, use the basic posture, adjusting them so that the lower jaw (or, if not, at least the top) as close as possible to the point of stagnation.Enclosing more or fewer pillows of different sizes under the baby, holding it more vertically or horizontally, you can change the relative position of the gums chest.
Breastfeeding on track
Do not forget that you can put the baby to her breast and standing or on the move, rocking him.Feeding on the go will be needed if the baby cries, worried under the breast, can not relax.In this situation, the baby is 3 months swaddle, give him the chest and walking, rocking with every step to the right and to the left.
with children older swaddling instead use a thin blanket or a sheet thick.Wrap the baby, he created a kind of "cocoon".In most cases, it quickly calms the child.If your arsenal is the sling, it is ideal for feeding on the move, will help relieve the mother hand.The kid is also convenient, but only when the sling is worn correctly.
