There are some tips for babies to drink breast milk

Breast milk is very precious, but for many babies, due to physiological or physical reasons, the baby will resist breast milk when the mother feeds the baby. Children who resist breast milk are actually very easy to deal with. You must master the breastfeeding skills. When feeding the baby breast milk, try not to mix feeding. As long as there is enough milk, it can be fed with pure natural milk. You should also master these tips in your daily life.

1. Lack of confidence and insufficient sleep

When I was pregnant, I worried about whether I could breastfeed because I am a typical "Princess Taiping". After my daughter was born, my milk supply was still okay; but she was a night cryer and was always making noises at night. I was severely sleep deprived and was almost on the verge of collapse. My milk supply was decreasing day by day, and after only half a month, my daughter became a little lamb that would go hungry one meal.

Mommy’s advice: Stay confident and make sure to get enough rest. Milk secretion is closely related to the nerve center. Excessive tension, anxiety, anger, panic and other bad mental states can cause reduced milk secretion. The mother should stay in a good spirit, have confidence in breastfeeding, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest to ensure adequate sleep and rest. It is best to rest synchronously with the baby to reduce interference.

Listening to relaxing music and looking at healthy and interesting calligraphy and paintings can help regulate your psychology and keep you in a good mood. Other family members should take good care of the wet nurse, give her more comfort and encouragement, and take the initiative to share the housework to prevent the new mother from being overly tired.

2. Mixed feeding is unreasonable

For various reasons, I returned to my husband's hometown to prepare for the birth of the baby. After the baby was born, my milk supply was abundant. But the child always likes to cry after drinking milk at night. My mother-in-law said that the child cried because he was not full, so she made some rice porridge for the child. Strangely enough, the child didn’t cry as much after eating. After that, the child starts to eat rice porridge. He eats more rice porridge, feels full longer, and eats less milk. I feel like my milk supply is decreasing.

Mommy takes the challenge : Do not add any complementary food during the 4-month breastfeeding period. The common reason for insufficient breast milk is that the baby does not suck enough. Mothers should ensure enough time to feed their babies, especially newborns. The breastfeeding time should be as long as 8 hours a day. Babies born 1 to 2 months old should be breastfed 8 to 10 times a day. A 3-month-old baby should breastfeed at least 8 times in 24 hours.

Breast milk is the best food and drink for babies. It can fully meet all the nutritional needs for the growth and development of babies aged 4 to 6 months. There is no need to add rice cereal, milk, juice or even water. The current "new perspective" on breastfeeding proposed by UNICEF holds that, under normal circumstances, breastfed babies do not need to add any additional food or drink, including water, within 6 months.
