Don't get me wrong, although I would tell the patient to give up breastfeeding, I am actually very supportive of breastfeeding, both of my babies are breastfed babies!
I would describe it as thankful rather than lucky, because for the sake of breastfeeding, it's absolutely. Yes. No. Yes. Lucky. Lucky! It's the blood and sweat of mothers that pays for it! People praise the goodness of human milk, but no one seems to say that breastfeeding is hard. When I first became a mother myself, I was hoping that someone would warn me that breastfeeding was hard, so at least I would be prepared (crying).
I'm not going to talk about theories, we've all read about them. Here are my tips from a professional perspective + practical experience of mothers:
1. Buy a book that teaches breastfeeding and shave it before giving birth: No one says I know how to breastfeed, how many people think they know how to breastfeed just by stuffing their breasts?
2. Join a breastfeeding mothers' exchange group: After giving birth, I don't have time to go to a health centre! This group searches for solutions to all kinds of problems!
3. Breastfeeding pillow: Posture is very important, a good breastfeeding pillow will help you master the correct breastfeeding posture and prevent shoulder and neck pain.
4. Breastfeeding: The secret to success is to breastfeed yourself! Mum's the truth, but it's so important that I have to say it 3 times! (don't get me wrong, absolutely admire pump mum! ππ»ββοΈ)
5. Nipple cream: newborn babies don't know how to suck and suck like crazy, so Lian is prone to damage and bleeding. The nipple cream will speed up the recovery process and will not affect your baby if you eat it.
6. Drink more water, eat more carbohydrates, rest more, and practise your training to recharge quickly!
7. Have a consensus with your partner in advance, especially if you insist on breastfeeding, ask your family to support you in advance.
8. Quick recipe: white quarry soup (find a small amount of salt, fry the fish for 10 minutes, pan fry both sides, add wine and water and boil for 20 minutes)
9. Seek help when appropriate: I understand that many mothers do not go to the health centre during the month. In fact, there are many lactation consultants (usually midwives or nurses) who do home visits. They may be expensive, but they are the ones to call when you need help! The same reason you need to see a doctor when you are sick until you die.
