Breastfeeding is good, and almost every mother has heard and understood it clearly. As an instinct, every baby [desperately] wants to drink breast milk from the very beginning of birth.
However, many babies cannot drink milk smoothly after birth. The reason is mostly caused by wrong cognition or lactation methods.
It became difficult for the baby to drink milk if he didn’t do it 2 hours after delivery.
This matter is to open milk as soon as possible!
Otherwise, it is easy to cause confusion of the baby’s nipples, or the posture of holding milk is incorrect, and the mother will also experience the pain of rising milk and blocking milk.
There was once a mother who shared the experience of breast-feeding. She insisted on holding the baby to breast-feeding as soon as she gave birth, and the breast-feeding went smoothly afterwards.
However, as soon as the mother in the same ward gave birth, the baby was carried into the incubator and used the bottle early. As a result, the next day there was a painful milk swelling. It was still painful to use the breast pump all over the place.
In fact, 2 hours after delivery is the golden period of milk opening. The mother who gave birth smoothly had better put the baby on her chest in the first place, so as to guide the baby to learn to hold and suck milk independently faster.
Mothers who have caesarean sections can also place their babies on their breasts for contact at the first time of birth, and even a small number of hospitals can do intraoperative contact.
It is suggested that mothers can communicate with their doctors in advance to get in touch with their babies in the first place.
Incorrect nursing posture will also make the baby unable to drink milk.
Incorrect nursing posture will also affect nursing.
Some novice mothers can’t grasp the distance their babies drink milk and are too far away from their breasts, resulting in insufficient milk intake and inability to suck milk.
Therefore, mothers should consider their own situation and the baby’s situation, and use the correct nursing posture and skills, so that the baby can follow the instinct and consciously learn to suck milk correctly.
For example, the “cradle style” commonly used by mothers requires only three small pillows to complete the standard posture:
Pad a pillow on each elbow on both sides, and put another on the cross of both hands to raise the baby.
