Here are some tips for mothers who are breastfeeding :
1. Do not Schedule a Breastfeeding.
Babies have a small stomach and breast milk is easily absorbed. The younger the age of the baby, the sooner he felt hungry again. Between mother's milk production capacity also varies. The smaller the production, more frequent and longer babies should be breastfed. Only the baby itself who knows when to feed.
The nutrients in breast milk during lactation varied issued. Fat content in the early minutes of fairly low, then rose steadily until the last minute. When mothers stop breastfeeding prematurely, the baby will be the lack of fat and hungry again quickly.
When breastfeeding carried a scheduled basis, within three months of milk production will decrease. Activity of the hormone prolactin stimulates breast milk producing. The more frequent feeding, the more prolactin is released. When mothers breastfeed infrequently, then the auto body too slowly will reduce the production of prolactin, which is useful in breast milk
Keep in mind that the baby wanted to breastfeed is not solely due to hunger, but also because of emotional needs to be loved and protected.
2. Keep a balance of both breasts. Fed with both breast in turn. Every time you start, use the last given breast.
3. Help your baby will burp when showing symptoms. can be done by holding upright in shoulder and patted her back. That way the air is sucked with milk will slowly come out.
4. Take out a little by hand when the milk gushing when it is given, it is to avoid baby choking and reject milk. The way is to support the breasts gently and massaging toward the areola, rolling massage around the breast quadrant. Then, press the areola with your thumb and fingers to clear the milk contained in the sinuses of the areola. Can also use a mechanical or electric breast pump. In case of breast swelling (engorgement) before milk is removed by pumps, the breast should be massaged in advance so that breastfeeding is easy out.
5. For mothers who are forced to abandon her baby, keep the milk to be given through the bottle when the baby was hungry. Breastmilk can be stored in a clean place for 6-8 hours.
