Nature is so wisely arranged, that she has taken care of the best food for the newborn - the breast milk. Well the truth is, it's a great idea, "put" food for the baby inside his mother. The breast milk is always with him, it is the ideal temperature for the baby. And it was amazing - every mom breast milk is specially balanced directly to the needs of her baby!
Curious: the breasts begin to prepare for milk production in a couple of days after conception, and therefore stretching in the chest, nipple sensitivity are the first signs of pregnancy. When the baby is born, his food in his mother's breast is fully prepared: the first "dish" in dairy grudnichka menu - colostrum, on 3rd day milk arrives, and begins "Milk Story" mother and child, it is possible to extend and for the year, and two, if you do not follow popular myths.
The first myth. How much you drink - and so will the milk.
In itself, the breast milk of 95% of the water that the baby was easy to digest and absorb it contains nutrients, vitamins, micro and macro elements. If a mother is drinking too much fluid, that is to force yourself to drink through force, the milk will be "empty", to the same mother is not good will overload the kidneys. So drink as much as you want, but at least 1.5-2.5 liters per day. Half an hour before the feeding you can drink something hot (for example, tea, soup or broth) - this will help to improve the outflow of milk.
The second myth. Breastfeeding ruins the shape.
If you gain too much weight during pregnancy, breast-feeding is to help relieve "ballast". Feeding more than a year to return to the doberemennomu weight or become even more slender, because the process of milk production is very energy intensive.
If you do not overeat, then the weight of the lactating mother begins to go considerably within 5-6 months after birth. Conversely, if the interrupt breastfeeding when the baby is not even 3 months, weight may increase, because the body hormonally configured to expend energy on the production of milk for at least 5-7 months after delivery. Milk is not produced, and all the fat is deposited on the sides.
The third myth. Do not feed often, otherwise the milk will not have time to digest.
Our grandmothers insist on a 3-hour interval between feedings, but silent, that they themselves were fed formula-fed children. Then it was convenient, and knowledge about breastfeeding was low.
In fact, to feed your baby - especially in the first few months! - you need on demand as soon as crumb wept, snorted and grunted, and at night, too. Breast milk is digested within 30-60 minutes after exposure to the digestive system - this time. And secondly, we must not forget that breast crumb not only eat, but also to communicate with his mother calms down.
Myth Four. If you are breastfeeding, you can not protect themselves.
Alas, it is the most popular myth is the falsity of many have to "prove" their own experience the birth of children-pogodok.
Indeed there is protecting against unwanted pregnancies method - lactation amenorrhea. However, it is to load, you need to fulfill three conditions:
- be sure to feed at night (at least 3 meals in the period from 2.00 am to 8.00 am);
- interval between feedings should not exceed 3 chasa;
- to produce enough hormones, it is important not to express milk, provide contact sucking dimples on the upper palate of the child with the mother's nipple.
The fifth myth. If the child some time to bottle feed, it will no longer take the breast.
If you feed your baby from the bottle for six months and never offered the breast, then this myth - the truth. If the mixture is given until the mother had the flu and was taking a serious drug or treated cracked nipples, then return to breastfeeding is not difficult.
What do you need? Properly attach the crumbs to his chest to put him in the mouth not only the nipple, but the lower part of the nipple areola (the lower the baby a sponge with good attachment slightly twisted). So pipsqueak be able to produce enough milk, to gorge at the breast and gaining weight well.
Easy you breastfeeding and health crumbs!
