When do I need pumping? (a woman's story)

Previously, it was believed that after each feeding, a woman should express herself. But modern breastfeeding consultants are sure that this is necessary only in some cases. Find out which ones.

• When a painful lump appears in the breast due to obstruction of the milk ducts and milk retention in them.

• To support lactation, for example, during mommy's illness.

• If you're going to leave the house for a long time, leave a supply of milk for the baby.

• In a situation where it is difficult for a premature baby to breastfeed.

Relax before pumping. Make yourself a warm herbal tea, take a shower and ask your husband to give you a massage. He'll stretch your back towards your sides. Then wash your hands and boil the container in which you will collect the milk. Make yourself comfortable in your chair. Place your palm on your chest so that four fingers are under the nipple and your thumb is above it. Make light presses towards the chest. Then change the position: place your fingers on the sides of the nipple. To make the milk work better, look at the baby.

It really helps! When I was pregnant, my friends tried to warn me about all sorts of difficulties: you won't sleep at night, you'll get tired with your breasts, you'll have to eat porridge. .. Thanks to them, of course, for the warnings, but we avoided this. Nikita drank my milk with pleasure, and we slept well. And there were no problems with the breasts. Now about the diet... At first, I was really selective about my food, so as not to cause allergies in the crumbs. Boiled potatoes, chicken meat, tea, condensed milk, these products were limited to my meager diet. No tomatoes, cucumbers, or fruits... Two weeks later, this diet became completely unbearable. I was suffering and the milk was getting less. Then I realized that if I didn't change anything, I wouldn't have anything to feed my son. I started introducing new foods into my diet a little bit. If the toddler reacted normally to them, she increased the portions. Now I eat almost everything. The baby has no rashes. He's gaining weight, growing, developing, because my milk is full of vitamins.

You give vitamins (nutrition), each of us knows that fruits are extremely beneficial for health. But what exactly, not everyone can answer. Intuitively, you understand that in early spring, your son's or daughter's body especially needs vitamins, and you think about the baby's menu every day: what dishes will give him strength and energy? And you're doing the right thing!It is believed that the most useful thing in fruits are vitamins. We agree! However, this is not all. They do contain various vitamins, but in small amounts.


More than food

The baby perceives his mother's breast not only as a source of nutrition. For him, the minutes at your side are also an opportunity to feel loved and safe. In addition, breast-sucking helps to relieve stress. That is why doctors advise to apply a small one immediately after various manipulations. He'll calm down faster.

The psychological attachment of the baby to the breast is clearly observed after six months. The toddler expands his space, risks exploring it, crawling away (and then moving away) from his mother for some distance. But when he returns, he insists on demanding a breast. He needs to make sure that when striving for something new, everything familiar and expensive remains. 1xBet offers new customers a special welcome bonus.
