Precautions for feeding newborn babies

Feeding of newborn babies is a very critical issue. Their feeding is very important. In our daily life, we must pay great attention to the feeding of babies. If the feeding is not timely and appropriate, many problems will arise. This is very important. Pay more attention to the life and health of your children. This is very important. What we have to do is to pay good attention to their nutrition.

The stomach capacity of a newborn is small, and the amount of milk inhaled each time is small, about 30 ml. Newborn babies are not yet proficient in sucking movements, and cannot implement feeding methods smoothly. Often, each time they feed, both mother and baby are exhausted, and the baby is unable to satisfy the appetite. Babies often fall asleep when sucking the nipple. Pinching their ears, nose, or scratching the soles of their feet will not wake them up to continue sucking, which often affects their appetite. In this way, soon after feeding, the baby will cry because of hunger. In the past, more emphasis was placed on the frequency of breastfeeding. Breastfeeding was not allowed without a certain interval, and the baby was often supplemented with sugar water or milk. In fact, this is not conducive to promoting lactation.

Recently, foreign experts have studied this issue and tried feeding at irregular times according to needs. Starting from newborns, there is no longer an emphasis on feeding on time. Instead, after 4-5 irregular feedings as needed, the baby will stop crying because the baby has eaten enough, and nutrition is guaranteed. Therefore, experts have proposed a new concept of "feeding on demand", which has changed the old habit of emphasizing feeding on time and is now being implemented. Our country has such regulations in textbooks. Since this feeding method not only conforms to the physiological characteristics of newborns, relevant personnel are also promoting this feeding method and guiding mothers to try it out. When the baby is over 6 months old and milk has been gradually replaced by other milk substitutes or complementary foods, a regular eating system should be established.

Breast milk is the best food for babies. Many wives face the problem of insufficient breast milk, and new fathers are really worried when they see this. How can we change this situation? The best way is to add catalysts to breast milk. But what to add and how to add it are often difficult for new fathers to start. In fact, there is no unique solution, you can choose according to the actual situation.

(1) Strengthen the baby's sucking. Experiments have shown that after the baby feeds, the prolactin in the mother's blood will increase exponentially. This is because when the baby sucks the nipple, it stimulates the mother's pituitary gland to secrete prolactin, thereby increasing milk secretion.

(2) Avoid taking medication. During the breastfeeding period, you must remind your wife not to take any medicine randomly. Some medicines and foods can affect the secretion of breast milk, such as antithyroid drugs, hawthorn, etc. If your wife is sick, it is best to take medicine under the doctor's orders.

(3) Supplement nutrition. All the nutrients in breast milk come from the mother's body. If the mother is in a state of malnutrition for a long time, it will naturally affect the normal milk secretion. You must fulfill your role as chef well and choose foods with high nutritional value for your wife, such as milk, eggs, vegetables, fruits, etc. At the same time, prepare more soup, which can catalyze the secretion of your wife's milk.

(4) Maintain the nurse’s good mood. After giving birth, mothers will experience greater mood swings due to physiological and environmental factors, and often become depressed, which will restrict the secretion of breast milk. Medical experiments have shown that when a mother is depressed, her milk secretion will decrease sharply. Therefore, you have an obligation to create a good living environment for your wife and pay attention to her mental health at all times.

(5)Diet therapy. On the basis of taking the above measures, combining them with lactation-promoting foods, the effect will be more obvious. Foods such as pig's trotters and peanuts can promote the secretion of milk.

A balanced diet is an important rule for breastfeeding mothers.

Breastfeeding mothers should also pay great attention to water supplementation. Since mothers often feel thirsty, they can replenish water while breastfeeding, or drink more soup drinks such as fresh fish soup, chicken soup, fresh milk and boiled water. Just replenish water moderately so that the milk supply will be both sufficient and nutritious.

It is difficult for mothers who are eager to lose weight in order to regain their figure to maintain their milk supply. It is recommended that breastfeeding mothers wait until the breastfeeding period is over before controlling their diet to lose weight. In fact, breastfeeding already consumes a lot of calories. As long as mothers do not eat too much and do some postpartum exercise, they can avoid fat accumulation.

The above are the key issues in feeding newborn babies. I hope that can help everyone. What we need to do is to pay good attention to their health and life. Their safe and healthy life is what we must pay attention to. The health and life of our own children is very important. What we need to do is to pay attention to them, their nutrition and life.
