Raising a child at the age of one hundred often worries about ninety-nine. As parents, they are very concerned about their children, afraid that they will not be able to wear warm clothes or eat enough. Feeding babies is a major challenge for mothers. They are afraid that their children will eat the wrong food, they may not be nutritious enough, and they may be picky eaters who won't be able to eat enough. So novice mothers need to master the skills of feeding their babies and ensuring that they are well fed and nourished. So how do novice mothers get their babies to eat breast milk?
How to make babies eat breast milk after feeding
When a baby is breastfeeding, don't always change nipples. Keep eating one until it's empty, and you will get more hydrated front milk and nutrient rich back milk, which will provide enough nutrition. The milk that babies eat in the first 10 minutes belongs to pre milk, which is relatively thin and contains more water. After 10 minutes of sucking, the milk is called post milk, which is rich in fat and appears milky white. Breastfeeding advocates that one breast should be fed for 20-30 minutes. If it is switched too quickly, the baby will not be able to eat nutritious breast milk. Mothers can determine how much milk to squeeze out first based on the baby's milk volume. Squeeze out a portion of one side first, so that the baby can eat breast milk. If it's not enough, you can switch to the other side. So the baby can eat enough. Next time we eat, we will switch to the other breast.
The importance of breastfeeding for infants
After milk is rich in fat, lactose, and other nutrients. It can provide a lot of calories, making babies feel full. Therefore, when breastfeeding, do not rush, do not squeeze out the initial breast milk, and do not switch to another side before feeding. Instead, allow the baby to eat as much as possible, both the front and back breast milk, in order to provide comprehensive nutrition for the baby. Regarding the issue of whether breast milk is sufficient: The secretion of breast milk has a significant characteristic, which is that the more a child sucks, the more it secretes. Therefore, in recent years, it has been advocated that babies should start sucking on their mother's breasts within half an hour of birth. On the one hand, it is to obtain precious colostrum, and on the other hand, it is also to fully stimulate the mother's breasts.
New mothers should not worry too much about their babies not having enough milk. Milk powder can be used instead of breast milk to supplement the nutrients needed by the baby. Other nutritious foods can also be fed to the baby to ensure sufficient energy intake. Taking the baby to the sun can enhance their immunity and resistance, which is the key to their healthy growth.
