We will help you answer the queries while breastfeeding.
Some women are very worried before having
the idea of breastfeeding, but no sooner do they become wavering “how about
feeding the baby with formula?”, because there are many queries that make the
women nervous and the answers are not available whenever you need.
When
you are feeding your children with breast milk, you will many queries.
My baby won’t be full up if I don’t have enough milk.
Before feeding your babies with formula
milk – one of the reasons that can make your babies stop sucking the breast
milk, answer this question: why do you think that you don’t have enough milk?
Do your babies cry, ask for breastfeeding or not sleep well?
These are absolute normal expression. You
only have to worry when babies gain weight slowly (under 500 grams/ month),
have less pee than normal, solid excrement, refuse to be breastfed and you
can’t squeeze milk from your breast.
There are some simple tips to increase the
source of breast milk: breastfeed your babies right, feed them in demand at
least 12 times per day, don’t reduce breastfeeding at night. Besides, it’s
necessary for you to know that you may have to overcome periods of milk supply
crisis (temporary decrease in lactation). Babies suddenly grow fast, so there
is not enough breast milk for their demand.
Right
breastfeeding helps to increase the amount of breast milk.
I was bitten by my baby, so I can’t let him suck.
Being bitten by your baby is a result of
breastfeeding in the wrong way. The basic breastfeeding rule is that baby’s
nose is equal or a little bit higher than the nipples; baby’s mouth opens
widely and holds deeply in the dark circle around the nipples. Put the
specialized silicon pads on the nipples will help you feel less painful.
I can’t go out and live normally because I have to breastfeed
my baby.
Every breastfeeding woman has her own way
to overcome this fear. It’s true that the situation on the first week is pretty
gloomy, especially if you are an energetic person. Is it possible that you have
to lock yourself up to stay home and feed your baby?
However, this period goes by very fast. And
the love to your baby doesn’t depend on breastfeeding your baby or not, and you
have to adjust your life with the baby.
My baby often have stomachache. Can using formula
instead of breast milk stop this?
Normally, when moving to another kind of
milk, the ache will be more severe, not ease up. Cause there isn’t anything
more suitable for babies than breast milk. However, don’t make them suck
whenever they have stomachache.
Because of crying, babies can keep the
breast in their mouth in the wrong way and swallow air into the stomach. This
can cause new pains. So it’s
better to comfort your babies before let them suck.

I don’t want my breast to be ugly and sagging.
Your breast has begun to have changes in
size and shape since pregnancy and it will be sagged a little bit at the end of
breastfeeding time. Therefore, there can’t be anything worse than stop
breastfeeding suddenly.
You should follow some regulations:
breastfeed your babies in demand, change the breast in turn, wear comfortable
clothes, feed them with breast milk or at least 1 year and reduce the feeding
time.
If I want to have enough milk for your baby, I have to
provide enough calories for myself. Therefore, I will gain weight for sure.
You may be surprise, but a long time ago, it
was that the amount of food and drinks provided to the mother didn’t have any
influence to the breast milk. Moreover, many breastfeeding women realized that
although they were full after eating, they didn’t gain any weight and even lose
weight.
Too much milk can lead to engorgement.
To avoid engorgement, you just need to
follow these simple rules: don’t wear tight clothes and lie on your side while
sleeping, change the breast in turn when feeding your child and feed the baby
many times and a bit per time.
If your breast is still stiff, you can
massage it and squeeze a little bit milk from it till it’s at ease. When you
find out that your breast has the signals of engorgement, absolutely don’t stop
breastfeeding.
If your breast hurts and gets stiff, you
should take medical advice from mammary gland specialists or lactation experts.
