The question of how to properly feed a
nursing infant is the basis for nutrition
of the baby, communication and communication with the mother, as well as his physical and mental health. Therefore, a woman should take into account factors such as correctly organized attachment, her
emotional state, and much more.
How to feed a baby. Attachment
General recommendations should be considered.
- The nipple should be inserted into the wide open mouth so that the baby captures the areola.
- It is necessary to do this quickly so that the crumbs do not have time to close their lips.
- Listen to the baby and do not make hasty conclusions about what he does not want to eat. Sometimes you can offer breasts several times.
Full breastfeeding is not possible without proper sucking. And if he begins to slide and bite the nipple, you need to insert a finger into the corner of the child’s mouth, and carefully pick up the chest so that he then takes it right.- Do not pull the skin with your finger at the place where it touches the nose. The unique structure allows the baby to breathe in this position, so do not be afraid that he will suffocate. Touching the mother’s nose, the baby feels that it is “in place”, and milk enters the mouth without obstruction.
- Women with problematic nipples should be more patient and persistent, so that the baby learns to take mother's breasts. Also, you do not need to give the baby nipples and bottles so as not to interfere with feeding.
How to feed a baby. Emotional state of mother
In the modern world, it is no secret to anyone that water has the unique ability to respond to stimuli from the outside. On this occasion, many studies have been conducted that prove changes in the
structure of water and its effect in the case of charging with positive or negative energy. This factor must be taken into account when breastfeeding. After all, milk is almost 90% water. Therefore, wondering about how to properly feed a baby, and about to put it on his chest, you need to calm down, if you were negatively excited before, get rid of all sorts of "bad thoughts". It is best if breastfeeding takes place in solitude, so that mom can focus on her love for the baby and communication with him. Also, this is favored by fresh air, a stay in nature, calm classical music, the lack of a TV and other annoying factors. If these recommendations are taken into account as much as possible, then you will create a solid foundation of trusting relationships with your child in the future, ensure the development of an emotionally stable and confident personality, as well as give nutritious, tasty and healthy nutrition to the baby.
How much should I breastfeed?
Each woman should answer this question independently. Up to 6 months, the baby completely needs mommy’s milk, and then complementary foods can be introduced. Some for many reasons already at this age stop feeding. Most give breasts up to a year, and units up to two or three. However, science has proven that with constant stimulation, lactation can last almost the whole life.
