Time flies so fast. It has been March and 3 days since Muxi Biscuits. The biscuits have given me warm memories. Let me give you a brief summary.

Angel Baby breastfeeds, suffers from flatulence, loves to play in bed, falls asleep independently, and sleeps through the night

! Biscuit is an angel baby. He doesn't like to cry. Even if he does cry, he will hum a few times. He will never cry with all his strength. I am so lucky. A friend asked me how I trained. All I can say is that it's natural, I never trained him, he was born like this. Personally, I have always believed that the reason why I am so lucky is that I have always maintained a beautiful mood and a peaceful mind during pregnancy. Because my mind is calm, the baby must also be calm.

During the confinement period, I ate biscuits to sleep, ate them when I woke up, played for a while and then went to sleep. Basically, I didn’t cry. I also took them to bed with me at night, and the confinement period went smoothly. One and a half months ago, I suddenly started coughing, and my throat was full of phlegm, but I didn't have a cold. It took me half a month to see a doctor. I went to several hospitals and took medicine to remove phlegm, but it never got better. Finally, the old doctor diagnosed that it was congenital. Laryngeal stridor is caused by the throat and other organs not developing well. It will disappear naturally when the throat and other organs develop well. Although the doctor still recommended to continue taking the phlegm-removing potion, I stopped taking the medicine on my own initiative. It had no effect anyway. , if you don’t take it, it’s only one part of the medicine that is poisonous. I just happened to see the baby swimming pool, thinking that I could exercise, so I applied for a card and started swimming. After swimming 2 or 3 times, my cough improved significantly. After 7 or 8 times, my cough was gone and I was fine. I didn’t know it was an organ. Swimming will help after he has developed well, but there is no harm in it. Fortunately, Biscuit loves to swim and never hums.

! Breastfeeding, I had a flat chest before I got pregnant, and I was always worried that I would have no milk. Sure enough, I couldn’t breastfeed on the first day after giving birth, and there was no milk. My nipples were still short and flat. I asked the hospital nurses to help me find a way, and they taught me I pulled my nipples, oh my god, that day my ward howled like a pig. I want to mention here that after Biscuit was born in the morning, he was still sleeping until the evening. My family and caregivers all yelled that the baby would be hungry, and they said that I had no milk, so they gave me milk powder. Although I had someone remind me that the baby can go without food for three days, but my family kept yelling, and the nurse also asked him to nurse and defecate, so I gave in and fed him 20ml with a spoon that night. He also said with a proud face, "I just said the baby is hungry, look at it, he has eaten so much." Then the more I thought about it, the more something went wrong. I insisted on breastfeeding, and the nurse also said that my breasts were filled with milk, and I couldn't let the baby drink formula. From the next day on, I insisted on letting the baby drink breast milk, and turned sideways on the hospital bed. I pulled my nipples to suck on Biscuit. Because there were needles on my body and I was not very good at it, I was very tired every time, but I wouldn’t let go. Fortunately, after sucking a few times, milk began to come out. Later, I also bought a manual breast pump. , apply hot water to the breast every night, then use your fingertips to comb along the direction of the nipple, then bend your upper body, shake the breast up and down, left and right, suck the baby no matter how tired you are, then use a breast pump to suck, and just keep drinking." Miyou's mother drinks milk tea to "replenish qi and blood and open up the mammary glands. Within a few days, there will be more milk, which is enough for the baby." From 50ml to 90ml, to 120ml, and now 200ml, I started using milk storage bags before I was even out of confinement.

I have always emptied my breasts every three hours, but when Biscuit was 10 days old, she still had a high fever due to breast problems (probably due to mastitis). She suddenly felt cold all over during the day, but After a while, I got better again. I never cared about it and was no longer cold. I took my temperature when it got cold at night and it was 39.4 degrees. I immediately went to the hospital and checked the internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology departments, and even took an ultrasound. No fever was found. The reason (at that time, both the surgical department and the obstetrics and gynecology department checked my breasts and said that the mammary glands were open and the breasts were soft, so it was probably not mastitis), so I had to take antipyretics and go home. In the middle of the night, I suddenly shivered all over, it was so cold. It was so cold that I was shaking so much that I couldn't speak. I quickly drank some antipyretic medicine and hot water. When I felt better, I emptied my breasts and slept again. Then I was fine. This was the only time I had a fever in my confinement. To prevent mastitis, you must empty your breasts in time and keep the breasts soft at all times. If there are lumps, you must let the baby suck them. When there are lumps, I usually use a breast pump to empty them first, and then suck them to the baby. The baby has strong suction. , the baby that the breast pump couldn't handle was solved immediately, so there were no more problems with the breasts.

Don’t believe the claims that using a breast pump will return milk. As long as you pump frequently, you will get milk. I have been feeding Biscuit by hand and bottle since he was about 15 days old, during the day, and by bottle feeding at night with expressed milk. So far, there has been no problem of nipple confusion.

! Flatulence. After the full moon, Biscuit began to experience bloating, which manifested itself as frequent twisting of the body, redness in the face due to exertion all over the body, twisting and twisting all over as soon as the baby was held a little better and put down, and even when he woke up in the middle of the night, he would twist hard. The solution is to burp after eating, rub the belly after half an hour, hold the baby on the plane and lie down more when playing. I gave Biscuit probiotics, but it had no effect. Although I saw him feeling uncomfortable every day, I still insisted on using the massage methods mentioned above. After a week, I felt relieved, but I also developed the habit of giving Biscuit more belly rubs and exercises. , and there was no more flatulence or colic after that. I have a bowel movement every 2-3 days, and the highest record is that I haven’t had a smelly bowel movement for 7 days. But because babies who are exclusively breastfed are said to have loose stools, and every time they have a bowel movement, they are soft and golden, so don’t worry, as long as they have a smelly bowel movement The smell is okay, so don’t be nervous.

! He likes to lie on the bed and play, but he doesn't like to be hugged very much. Although everyone says that you can’t hold your baby too much, it will spoil the baby, but I think that when a baby is just born, he does not feel safe. He cries when he feels insecure. There is nothing to be cautious about. The so-called holding habit It means holding the baby when he is not crying. This is the reason why the baby develops the bad habit of needing to be held to sleep. Babies within three months of birth lack a sense of security. The correct method should be when the baby is crying. Just hug him immediately and put him down when he stops crying. This will not only comfort the baby but also prevent him from developing the habit of needing to be held. My Biscuit is like this, so I think Biscuit is a relatively secure baby. He can lie on the bed and play with himself. When nothing happens, he is not willing to be pushed up after being held for a long time, but he is happy to play when he is put on the bed. Being able to play by himself lays the foundation for him to fall asleep on his own.

! Fall asleep on your own. Before the 42nd day, I just let Biscuit eat, sleep, and play as I wanted. After the 42nd day, I started eating, playing, and sleeping in three-hour units. However, because I followed this process too strictly, I often made myself very tired. , and then I tried to follow this process as much as possible, but I could still insist on eating once every three hours. Everyone is very concerned about sleeping, and as soon as I saw Biscuit yawning and staring blankly, I immediately carried him into the room and started coaxing him to sleep. I bought Biscuit a pacifier after he was one month old. During this half month, he would almost squint when he ate the pacifier and held him. At this time, when he put him on the bed, he could fall asleep just by pressing his butt first, then his head, and then his hands. I insist on letting the baby fall asleep on the bed instead of in my arms, so that I can basically fall asleep in 5 minutes and leave. But after half a month, it became very difficult to hold him to sleep, and he gradually stopped asking for a pacifier. It usually took him another 40 minutes to sleep before he wanted to sleep. At this time, I hadn’t discovered his sleeping pattern yet, so I still insisted on giving him a pacifier as soon as I saw him sleepy. When I get the signal, I start to coax myself to sleep, which makes me very tired.

When I was 2 months old, I went out for two days without bringing any biscuits, so I gave them to my parents. When I came back, I was surprised to learn that the biscuits could lie on the bed and sleep by themselves! After asking, I found out that my dad played with Biscuit, and when he got tired, he walked away, ignoring Biscuit and not coaxing him to sleep. As a result, he just lay down and fell asleep without crying. So I seized this opportunity when I came back. I stopped playing with him when he was sleepy. After putting a pacifier in his mouth, I hid somewhere where he couldn't see him. He really fell asleep while eating the pacifier by himself. From that day on, I knew Biscuit will not fall asleep immediately after showing signs of sleepiness. He needs to calm down for a period of time, wait for the sleepiness to slowly crawl onto his eyelids, and then fall asleep. I used to be too anxious and thought I would fall asleep as soon as I felt sleepy. When I was younger, I fell asleep quickly, but when I was older, it was not so easy to fall asleep. When the biscuit can be eaten by his own hands, he will sleep with his hands on his hands and does not need anyone to hold him to sleep. Here it’s back to the order of eating-playing-sleeping. I insist on giving biscuits once every three hours, coaxing him to play after eating, and then he goes to sleep on his own when he’s tired. Therefore, the order of eating-playing-sleeping and feeding on time are the prerequisites for falling asleep independently.

! Regarding a full night's sleep, the full night's sleep here refers to after 12pm to 6am. When Biscuit was almost 3 months old, he was basically fed at 5:00, 8:00, 11:00, 14:00, 17:00, 20:00, and 23:00. The reason why Biscuit had no fixed feeding time at night was because he would eat it if he was swimming in the afternoon. The feeding time will be adjusted, and then he will be fed every two hours, but no matter how I feed him, I will definitely feed him between 11 and 12 o'clock in the evening before going to bed. I try to get him to fall asleep between 8:30 and 9 pm every night. If it doesn't work, don't force it. Before I go to bed at night, usually around 11:30, I will breastfeed Biscuit again. If Biscuit falls asleep, then Feed him milk, and try to breastfeed him to sleep when he wakes up, so that he can eat more and sleep through the night. After about 50 days, Biscuit can sleep until 6 o'clock in the morning. Then he closes his eyes and chews with his hands without crying. If he wakes me up, I will breastfeed him. At this time, he doesn't eat much, and he goes back to sleep quickly. Then I woke up at 8 o'clock to eat again. This time I ate a little more when I woke up, and started a three-hour round of feeding. However, biscuits are not so good for sleeping every day. He doesn’t eat much biscuits. He only eats about 100 biscuits per meal at 3 months old. The day he can eat more than 120, he will be able to sleep through the night that night, so the baby eats them during the day. If he eats enough milk for the day, he will sleep better at night. The current three-month-old biscuit is 5.89kg and 62.4cm. The weight is a bit low because he eats less, but he is healthy and not very light.

Others: Now look at the photos of Biscuit from birth to now. From the ugly kitten to the round little one now, he is really happy and reluctant to give up. He only grows up once. Every time he learns something There is one less first time for a new skill. I cherish every first time for him. Fortunately, he has been taking photos and videos since he was born and uploading them to the album. Looking back, it is always gratifying and warm.

Breast discharge and wet clothes, not eating indiscriminately, not wearing beautiful clothes... Let’s talk about it slowly! !

When there is a lot of milk, even an anti-overflow breast pad cannot block it. When washing clothes and squeezing the breasts, the clothes will get wet. Sometimes there are other male family members at home, I don’t know yet, it’s super embarrassing...so I usually check to see if my chest is wet when I stand up after squatting down!

When I was pregnant, I always thought that I would be able to wear beautiful clothes after giving birth, but it turned out to be completely wrong. Clothes should still be loose, and sequins should not be worn for fear of scratching the baby. Dresses should not be worn. Breastfeeding is inconvenient...

My beloved spicy crayfish and summer ice cream, (for fear of children getting angry and having diarrhea), I have to stay away from them. Generally, I don’t take medicine for colds (can’t do it after eating) Breastfeeding) can only be resisted.

I basically don’t make appointments for parties that last more than 4 hours. I can only experience the embarrassment of breastfeeding in public places. If I meet a few ignorant people, I will come again. Look at the expression on your child's face when he is breastfeeding...

When the milk supply is low, your mother-in-law will bring all kinds of soups to your mouth, all of which are "full of love". Wow, just I can drink it with my eyes closed.

Not everyone suffers from hair loss during breastfeeding, but I am deeply involved in it. When I wake up in the morning, the pillow is full of hair. It feels like I am still in a nightmare. When I woke up, I didn't dare to wash my hair at all. After ten months of breastfeeding, most of my hair fell out. Now that I'm weaned, I feel better!

Breastfeeding is a problem for millions of people, but in order to give my child more natural nutrition, I am willing!

What I was most afraid of was when I just gave birth to a baby. I was afraid that others would say that I was so thin and could not feed the baby enough. It seemed that if you were not enough, you would not be a qualified mother. Fortunately, It can be eaten by the baby, and the baby's appetite is not big

For other problems such as the inconvenience of going out to breastfeed, I think it is okay. Just bring a gauze towel or a thin blanket for the baby to cover it once or twice. Just fed her

As for the overflow, luckily I bought an anti-overflow breast pad. I think this is a must for sisters during breastfeeding. Generally, when the baby is eating, we have a lactation reflex because the baby is sucking milk. There is a gurgling flow on the other side, and it is uncomfortable and unsightly to wet the clothes.

Also, I think it is necessary to prevent the baby from being touched while feeding. It was very difficult to quit when I was weaning.

When I was weaning, I saw that many people had to take medicine, massage, acupuncture and so on. When I was weaning, I sucked everything out every day when I was very bloated. Slowly today You may need to pump three times, but tomorrow you will only pump twice. It will disappear slowly like this. It doesn’t matter if there is a little bit left in the end. It won’t get clogged and the body will slowly absorb it. What problems did mothers encounter during breastfeeding?

Don’t worry, mom, just because your milk isn’t increasing doesn’t mean you don’t have enough milk. Maybe you have a physique that allows you to eat and have milk at any time. Breast engorgement is actually caused by a slight blockage of the breast glands that causes swelling and pain.

My baby is six months old and still breastfeeding. I have encountered the following problems:

1. Cracked nipples. At the beginning, the baby was not very good at sucking. The position of the connection between the nipples was wrong, resulting in chapped nipples. Every time the baby sucked, it felt like being scratched by a knife, causing unbearable pain. The correct posture is to allow the baby to hold the entire areola.

2. Serious milk engorgement can lead to mastitis. Every time the baby feeds, the clothes on the other side must be soaked. Sometimes the whole breast is as hard as a stone. Once, the mastitis fever was so severe that I had a fever of 40 degrees. I didn’t even dare to give the intravenous drip prescribed by the hospital. All the baby’s rations were on me. How dare you take anti-inflammatory drugs? I forced myself to find a prolactinologist, and the fever subsided immediately after the mammary glands were cleared. Therefore, if you have a fever due to mastitis, please remember not to listen to the doctor's deception.

3. It is embarrassing to go out to breastfeed. I am thin-skinned, so if you ask me to lift up my clothes outside to expose my breasts for breastfeeding, I can’t do that! ! ! So I only feed formula milk every time I go out. Or you can buy a nursing pad and cover it when breastfeeding.

4. Insufficient milk.

right! You read that right, there is not enough milk. I mentioned serious engorgement earlier, but here I said insufficient milk. Do you think I am contradicting myself? No, I don’t have enough milk. My milk volume has dropped since I went to work. The two sides of the breast pump add up to only 60 ml. I drank all kinds of lactation-stimulating soups, crucian carp soup, fish tail and soybean soup, and pig's trotters soup. I drank several large bowls of it every day. I also drank more water, more water, more water, and expressed milk every three hours. Sure enough, I started to drink more milk. Milk success!

As far as I am concerned, the problems I encountered during breastfeeding really came one after another. Ever since the baby was born, he couldn't feed or had no milk. He didn't know how to start breastfeeding, so he had to learn a single breastfeeding position for a long time. Then I worry about why I haven’t breastfed yet? Why don’t you have a lot of milk? Is the breast duct blocked? Okay, finally I have breasts, but how can I get more breasts? How to make milk? There are endless questions.

First of all, no matter whether you have breast milk or not, there will always be people who think you have no breast milk and will try their best to make you eat milk-rich foods. This is the norm for breastfeeding mothers. Relax, you are not alone. You are the epitome of millions of mothers, come on!ヾ(*)o

Before 1.6 months, if the child reaches the standard height and weight, eats well and sleeps well, can crawl and begins to grow teeth, it means that the child is well developed and there is no lack of milk. However, there is a situation that needs attention. Breed mothers have a special constitution and produce a lot of milk, but the milk is not nutritious and cannot be discovered by themselves. If the child is shorter, thinner, or developmentally delayed than other children of the same age, please go to the pediatric health department of the hospital to check the cause in time and give the child regular physical examinations. Just follow the doctor's instructions.

Babies are prone to iron deficiency after 2.6 months. Pay attention to iron supplements and add fortified iron rice noodles. After 8 months, add eggs, minced meat and animal liver. Try not to eat them within one year old. Salt and other seasonings, snacks and drinks containing additives

I still have breast enlargement after 7 months, but not as frequently as before. My family members also say that you have no breast milk every day, and they ask you to eat pig's feet every day. This is normal. After all, it was the first child and everyone had no experience. We were too nervous for fear of not feeding well. Later, we weaned him at 1 year and 1 month old. After weaning, he did not eat milk powder for a whole month. It took a month for him to stop breastfeeding. Slowly add 30 ml. When I am one and a half years old, I basically eat every day, but the amount of milk is not enough. I just don’t like to drink milk powder. Now I am 4 years old. I don’t drink milk powder. I only drink a little bit of pure milk. I can only think of ways every day. Let him eat foods high in calcium, such as eggs, shrimps, pork liver, beef, pork, and fish. The old mother was also worried. Although her height and weight were up to standard, she was still very thin. She didn't know how to gain some weight and was troubled.

During the confinement period, I had a high fever due to inflammation of my wisdom teeth. I was put on a sling bottle and could not breastfeed my child for three days. Then I also had overflowing milk. My clothes often got wet. The strong smell of milk was hard to wash off. There are also things like not being able to eat this or that, for fear of passing it on to the child through breast milk. In short, there will be all kinds of things, but fortunately, we have overcome them

Many people are in the same situation as you. They lack confidence in themselves and their families. After all the chattering, I kept adding more milk powder and more milk powder, and then I really didn’t have enough breast milk.

Then, why does breast milk have to be engorged to have breast milk? If you feed frequently, then your milk production will definitely not increase so quickly. If you really don’t feel the increase even if you don’t feed for a few hours, then you really don’t feel confident. Therefore, when feeding, you can observe whether the baby makes swallowing sounds. If he swallows one mouthful after another, he must have a lot of milk. If he sucks for several times before swallowing, it means that it is difficult for him to eat milk. He may not be able to eat or is No need to eat.

The third thing is what does it mean to be unable to eat? The feeding posture must be correct. This is actually very important. The baby's mouth must hold the areola so that he can easily take milk. If he only holds the nipple, he will not be able to eat. Not enough milk, and the nipples are easily injured. If they are injured, it will be extremely painful.

Fourth, if you have just started breastfeeding, observe your baby's urine volume and growth curve, feed more, feed more, and feed more, and the milk volume will slowly increase. If the baby is older, there is no need to worry about whether the milk is enough. It is difficult to chase the milk. Add some milk powder and the baby will be relaxed and you will be relaxed.

Fifth, the breastfeeding period is actually very hard for mothers. During the teething period, tears fall immediately after biting one bite. You can’t travel far away, you can’t eat what you like and drink as you like, and you can’t have beautiful hairstyles and dyes to look good. Hair, beautiful nails...

However, holding the child tightly in your arms is the warmth that only nursing mothers can feel, and it is a very different experience. When you want to wean, you will find that the previous hardships are nothing. It’s good to be able to hold him like this for the rest of your life, and you can’t bear to let him leave your arms like this.

Let me tell you about my experience:

Dabao, the most troublesome thing is that she only takes the bottle, and only recognizes the bottle and not the mother. The hospital had no requirement not to bring baby bottles, so we prepared baby bottles. Then there was a caesarean section, during which Dabao was fed with a bottle first when he was hungry. Later, when she had milk, I would hold her over and feed it myself. But as soon as I picked her up to breastfeed her, she would cry and move her hands and feet wildly. She tried for a long time and still wouldn't eat, so I used a breast pump to express it. Because the caesarean section was afraid of touching the wound, we could only give up temporarily. I will hold it every day to try it out, and then feed it with a bottle after not eating for a while. After she was discharged from the hospital and returned home, I spent time training her to breastfeed. I bought nipple traction devices and nipple shields, but she just resisted and wouldn't eat. So I had to give up hand feeding and keep bottle feeding. Anyway, there are advantages and disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is that when I see the bottle, I am happy and clap my hands happily, but when I see it, I don’t feel anything and I don’t stick to it. But it gets better as I grow older, and I still kiss my mother.

The most troublesome thing about my second baby is that he sleeps after feeding, and the hypnotic effect is great. When I gave birth to my second child, the hospital did not allow feeding bottles. If I was hungry, the hospital had liquid milk for me to feed with a spoon. Even so, the second baby resisted breastfeeding on his own in the first few days. Later, I fed him while lying on his side once, and then he fed me on his side every time, and he was able to eat by himself. But a new problem came. She fell asleep within a few minutes of feeding, and it felt like she hadn't taken a few bites at all. So I was worried that she wouldn't have enough to eat, so I still bottle-fed her most of the time, at regular intervals. But after all, he was fed by himself, and the second baby is very attached to me. When he wakes up at night, he will continue to sleep when he sees me, and he will cry when he can't see me. In comparison, breastfeeding does seem to be closer to the baby.

Now that I think about it, breastfeeding is really difficult, especially if you join the army of carrying breast milk after maternity leave, and you have to squeeze it out every day. However, that is also the period of time when you have the closest relationship with your baby. For the children, everything is worth it!

First of all, I am a new mother, let me share my own experience.

1. I thought I would have milk after giving birth. I was wrong. The first three months after giving birth. There is no milk in the day, so you must start breastfeeding at this time. I spent 400 yuan to hire a prolactinologist. She will massage your breasts with you every day and teach you what to pay attention to these days. Regardless of whether there is milk or not, you must call The baby sucks more to stimulate the breasts to produce milk

2. I used to think that feeding a child is easy, just give it to him when he is hungry. This is not the case. New mothers will experience nipple rupture. This situation is simply It's as painful as giving birth to a baby. When the baby sucks, the stomach will contract and hurt, and the nipple will be broken by the baby. If the baby sucks the nipple, you have to ask him to continue sucking. If it bleeds, he still has to suck. This process is simply worse than life.

3. If you don’t express too much milk, you will easily get mastitis. For me, the baby can’t suck it out, and it hurts when I suck it out. Then I get mastitis. I must squeeze out the excess milk, otherwise I will have to go to the hospital if it gets serious. The surgery in the hospital was very painful. I applied hot water and kept squeezing. If I couldn’t squeeze it out, I asked a breast massager to massage it and then asked the baby to suck it. The pain was gone.

4. Short nipples are not good To suck, you can put a pacifier on the nipple and ask the baby to suck frequently, so that the baby can feed easily

5. Too much milk can easily wet clothes. As a new mother, I don’t know and I am not prepared to prevent galactorrhea. Pad, so the whole body got wet. Therefore, be sure to prepare anti-overflow breast pads so that it is convenient to go out

6. Don’t eat randomly during breastfeeding, otherwise the baby will easily have diarrhea
