The practice of feeding after 6 months only every 5th child, while the who today strongly recommends not to deprive your baby's natural feeding until at least one year.
The medical clinics rarely insist on the extension of HS (breastfeeding next, approx.overlook) after six months. Although people they know that the natural environment, entering the body of the child, in any case, adapted by nature, and not factories baby food.
Today, as a former employee of the children's polyclinic and double-Mama, I want more detail to bring some of the misconceptions that push women for early completion or, even worse, refusing from GW.
The main three reasons due to which kids are most often transferred to the Hippach/Nana/Nutrilon is:
1) cracked nipples;
2) lactose;
3) lactation crisis
The first reason is cracked nipples
often predicted by pediatricians, as long attachment of the infant to the breast. Actually, here is the main factor for the appearance of these microtraumas not long attachment, and in the wrong. Going to the hospital for your baby, you should be good to consult with local nurses or doctors AS necessary to give the breast to the child. Cracks appear because of ignoring anatomically natural position of the nipple during suckling baby. This happens because of the difficulty of the passage of the milk through the milk ducts.
The second reason is lactose, also absolutely is not a reason for rejection from GW. To deal with lactose you still have in the first month. Breasts just beginning to function as a source of feeding. Vessels and tissue it has not yet been adapted. A slightly greater number of the received fluid causes immediate swelling of the mammary glands due to tide produced product. Fighting lactose is mainly aimed at removing obstacles to the movement of milk through the ducts. Regular massage, and a workshop with the amount of fluid consumption. In no event it is impossible to deprive your baby of the power given to him by nature.
The main causes of lactose:
- obstructed outflow of milk due to improper attachment;
- rare breastfeeding (feeding every 3 hours with the transmission or delay thereof, if the child is asleep);
- tight clothes, blocking blood flow and metabolism in the chest;
- stress, during which the release of adrenaline constricts blood vessels, and prevents the outflow of milk;
- Physical burden on the mother, tired violates the natural metabolic processes in her body, causing stagnation;
same thing at Frank sleep: stress + total fatigue = lactose
The third reason - lactation crisis. This phenomenon is 90% of women suffer.
A sharp decrease in milk in a woman's body is long and it is completely reversible. The cause of these crises can be even phase the moon is in conjunction with the biorhythms of women. This is a natural "reset" hormonal moms, which makes it possible to produce prolactin, in his time giving your baby milk.
The duration of this state from two to ten days. Theoretically, these States are repeated every two months, but it's not at all so. Such a crisis you can only feel the first time your baby feeds only your milk. When this condition to happen again (if ever again), it is likely that your baby already bude on any lure, and will not be sensitive to temporarily reduced milk volume.
During lactation crisis, many are advised resistant to the chest, not to dopisivati and not to Supplement. Everyone has the right to decide how to be his child.
Tell about yourself. I nursed my son until five and a half years. However, I never fanatically did not belong to the dogmas of modern HW. When exactly a month and a half we began to have problems such as lack of milk, personally I did:
1. The first two days I just every time weighed BEFORE feeding and after, and approximate estimate as to how much power goes to the child. When I didn't like the amount of (I give below a table with the usual rules of eating, eaten them, I contrary to the opinion of "not to Supplement introduced baby food.
2. Started feeding exclusively breast, even if that objective was empty. Son sucking as much as they wanted, and then I was offered a bottle with the mixture. If he had enough milk bottle he refused to take it, if not, he sucked and I knew that the ritual of feeding took place.
So we podkarmlivalsia a week, and then I more and more began to pour the mixture into the sink. He was no longer wanted.
After that, we got three and a half months lived only "on the chest". In General, full we were fed to two and a half years, and another three years- "nothing better to do".
This is my personal experience, it is not a panacea, but can be considered as an option.
Do not rush to throw GW. It's exactly why you really need to your baby. So nature intended.
Now as promised will approximate the norms of one-time consumption of milk.
The first week is 40-60 ml
Second week - 60-80 ml
Third week - 90-110 ml
Fourth week - 100-120 ml
By the end of the second month - 150-170 ml
By the end of the third month - 160-180 ml
By the end of the fourth month - 160-180 ml
Remind: this is an approximate amount. So to say is the starting point.
Pleasant and fed you with feedings. Your Overlook
