Breastfeeding, as everyone knows, is that after the mother has given birth to the baby, she gives her milk to the baby until the baby can eat other things. Throughout the process of breastfeeding, mothers will encounter some ambiguous problems, and it is difficult for them to make choices for a while. Let’s talk about the common problems of breastfeeding mothers.
Should I buy a breast pump for breastfeeding?
It is recommended that all mothers who need breastfeeding prepare one. The breast pump can help mothers understand the baby’s milk intake and relieve the pain of mothers’ milk increase. For convenience, it is recommended to choose electricity instead of a manual.
Should I wash my nipples before breastfeeding?
This is unnecessary. The aerobic bacteria on the mother’s nipple and surrounding skin are beneficial to the baby’s physical development. If you want to clean, wipe your nipples with a wet towel before feeding.
How often do I feed breast milk?
It mainly depends on the baby’s demand for breast milk. Generally, newborns have to eat 8-12 times a day. After the baby is older, the number of feedings will decrease, but the amount of feeding each time will increase.
What should I do if there is not enough milk?
Try not to rush to feed milk powder. Mothers can drink more soup to enrich their milk, and increase the time of each feeding when feeding the baby. Under normal circumstances, the situation of insufficient milk can basically be solved.
Should I wear a bra for breastfeeding?
Although wearing a bra is indeed inconvenient for breastfeeding, mothers should wear a breastfeeding bra without steel ring, cotton, and soft underwire from the beginning of pregnancy to prevent sagging breasts.
