母乳喂养常见问题及基本知识
怕疼是其中一个原因,但是我认识的很多新妈们都还是愿意为了孩子忍受一时的疼痛。通常头胎会疼两三周,只要孩子的吸吮姿势正确,过了头几周应该好起来。孩子的小嘴应将棕色的乳晕包住, 并没有吧嗒吧嗒的噪音,而且母亲能感到腋下奶胀。
但是最常见的问题恐怕是因为母亲不懂得新生儿的各个阶段生理特征,缺乏母乳喂养方面的知识。有些妈妈提出的问题明显地就是没有读过医生或医院发的母乳喂养手册。我生老大时,除了医生发的,医院给的, 还自己找了不少资料来学习。“打无准备的仗”自然是要乱阵脚的,所以自己先做好功课,才能做到胸有成竹,就不会因不知道怎么办而慌乱烦躁。
因为不了解新生儿的各种特征,又缺乏母乳喂养的常识,所以心里没底,缺乏自信。孩子还没生下来就已经担心自己没奶或奶不够该如何是好。第一周头几天出来的母乳叫初乳,孩子也就只能吃那么点儿,所以绰绰有余。而且孩子生下来,第一周体重下降是所有新生儿的统一特征,妈妈们不明白,一看马上就坚信是自己的奶不够,所以立即开始补充根本就不需要补充的配方奶。孰不知那玩艺儿和奶瓶几天就能让孩子上瘾,而且加了配方奶,喂母奶的次数少了, 自然奶量也会逐渐减少。因为母乳是根据孩子的需求而定量供应的,喂得勤喂得多,乳腺受孩子小嘴刺激会不停地供奶,反之则会减少。
因此母乳喂养的成功与否主要是前四周,把这四周挺过去,以后就好办了。当然有些妈妈确实因生理因素奶不够就该另当别论。 Here are some breastfeeding basics that you may find helpful.

Relax and give yourself time to learn. Your baby may be very sleepy the first few days. Your baby’s stomach is small so your baby will need to feed often. You may feel increased thirst while nursing, drowsiness during breastfeeding and mild uterine contractions while breastfeeding the first few days. Avoid feeding your baby from a bottle, either breastmilk or formula, for the first 3 to 4 weeks or until you baby learns to feed well. Sucking from a bottle is a different mouth action. Bottle sucking may interfere with the baby’s nursing at the breast. After the first 3 to 4 weeks, you can try to feed your baby breast milk through a bottle if you would like. If your baby is not able to breastfeed, you can pump your breast milk, feed your baby the breast milk through the bottle or freeze the breast milk in a closed container for later use.

If your baby is getting enough milk, your breasts will be full with milk, soft after feedings and refill between feedings. Your baby will: How Often Will My Baby Feed? Feedings are timed from the start of one feeding to the start of the next. At first, try to feed your baby every 2 to 3 hours during the day and evening, and at least every 4 hours during the night. If your baby gives feeding cues, feed your baby. Your baby may want several feedings very close together. By the end of the first week, your baby will be nursing 8 to 12 times in 24 hours. As your baby and your milk supply grow, your baby may begin feeding less often. Breastfeeding Basics.

Expect that your baby will wake at night and may need to be fed. Babies have growth spurts in their first 6 months and will nurse more often during them. By feeding more often, your body will make more milk to get through the growth spurts. These spurts often last 3-5 days. How Long Will My Baby Feed? Feed your baby until he shows signs that he is full such as slowing down sucking and then detaching himself from the breast, and relaxing his hands, arms and legs. If you stop before your baby is done, your baby may not get the high fat milk. This is the milk that is best for growth. Allow your baby to completely finish feeding on the first breast. This may take 10 to 25 minutes. Then offer the second breast. Your baby may feed for a while on that breast, or not want the second breast at all. Alternate the breast you begin with at each feeding. Some mothers track, which breast to begin with by pinning a safety pin to their bra strap. Waking the Sleeping Baby If your baby is in a deep sleep, do not wake your baby for a feeding. If your baby is asleep but has some body motions such as eye motion under the lid, active mouth and tongue motion, or sucking in sleep, this is the best time to wake your baby for a feeding. At night, dim the lights and keep the room quiet. Avoid startling movements. Wake the baby gently by moving your baby or you can change your baby’s diaper. If after 15 minutes your baby shows poor interest in breastfeeding, try an hour later. Talk to a doctor, nurse or lactation specialist if you have any questions or concerns. 4 实 宝宝每次吃奶要多长时间﹖ 一 如果宝宝睡得 8/2007.

以下为母乳喂养的基本常识。
1。先将医院或医生发的有关母乳喂养及婴儿手册仔细阅读,上面有大量的有用知识。
2。初生婴儿在头两周内体重会少有下降,不必担心。一定要坚持每2-3小时喂一次。
3。只要孩子吸吮奶头时没有吧嗒吧嗒的噪音,并且小嘴能将乳晕包得越多越好(乳头周围棕色的一圈)。喂奶时孩子的嘴张得越大,将棕色的乳晕包得越多,奶下得越好。最关键的是母亲不会感到乳头疼痛,唯一的身体上的轻微不适是每隔2-4分钟,腋窝下一股激流一涨,奶汹涌而下。头两三个月这种感觉会频繁一些,以后就会逐渐减少,但是并不说明孩子没有吃够,因为奶的多少是根据孩子的需要而供应的。
4。两周后孩子的体重会开始增加,只要平稳上升,母乳就够了。
5。尽量不要补充奶粉,除非确实有生理或其它方面的因素实在不能坚持母乳喂养。因为如果加了奶粉,孩子就不愿再吃母乳。一则奶粉不如母乳容易消化,所以不饿,间隔时间会长些(3-4小时喂一次)。二来,奶瓶的奶头比母亲的乳头容易吸,喝奶瓶的孩子不愿费神费力或力量不够,不愿吸吮母乳,这样会使母亲认为没奶或奶不够。三,如果喂母乳间隔时间越长,喂的时间越少奶回得越快。
5。如宝宝贪睡,可喂完一边,抱起来拍拍气(3-5分钟),然后再喂另一边。也可轻轻挠脚心,用手指轻按唇角。如都不能成功,可用一块湿毛巾轻擦小脸,毛巾温度不能热,温偏凉即可。另外穿的太多更嗜睡,可以少穿一点儿。
6。要想坚持母乳喂养首先要相信自己,其次要坚持不懈。就一定能成功。
