Breastfeeding is not only the best balanced diet for the newly born, but also allows you not to carry a thermos bottle with warm water, measuring sliced and packs with a dry mixture, which greatly facilitates the existence. All you need, always at your mother's hand: both the chest and the baby. What can be more accessible than fresher than this natural product? A nursing mother who has chosen a free method of feeding or on demand must learn to overcome the distress or organize the feeding of the baby at any time in any public place or transport. And, in addition, learn how to behave, be calm and do not neglect the inappropriate replicas and remarks. The most expensive is a newborn baby who wants to eat, everything else does not matter.
Unfortunately, public opinion does not contribute to creating conditions under which any nursing mother can expose her breasts and feed her baby. Every time you have to look for a secluded place. And his absence causes mamiaabsolutely unnecessary stress, which is invariably felt by the baby and is reflected by the amount of milk. There is a special category of people who are able to sharply condemn such actions of the mother, considering it not permissible in public places.
First of all, my mother needs to calm down and understand that those who are so categorically opposed to the natural process of breastfeeding do not understand and do not want to understand the importance of this process for both of its participants. In order to avoid such a harsh criticism and to remain alone, because it is very important for a baby to have a comfortable breastfeed to prepare to leave the house.
Overcoming restraint
If on the street, at a sufficient distance from the house, the kid asks for food, it's worth to overcome the constraint, because the main thing - the baby and his sense of hunger. Mamadozhna to be fenced off by an invisible wall, if there is nothing more, from the rest of the world and stay with the baby alone. Sitting on a bench in the park, you can turn back to the pedestrian zone, and face to the lawn. This will create at least a temporary psychological barrier that will eventually grow into self-confidence.
Odiniz wonderful ways and feed your baby at any time, and to carry out its convenient transportation - it's a sling, a tissue holder. It is best to make a sling out of a long and wide piece of cloth that can be deployed as a sail in case of need. Gradually, my mother learns to relax and will behave absolutely absolutely naturally, without attracting unnecessary attention to herself.
To rush into a secluded corner, strongly to bend down and show all that is going on here, like a secret process does not follow, this will only increase the attention and suspicion of the passers-by.
If the mother had a cesarean section, then she will not be able to sling her, especially if the baby is large and the stroller will be used as a means of transportation. Therefore, you can with yourself a usual children's sheet about 1.2 m long and 60-70 cm wide, which you can hide (at least with your head) and hide your chest and baby in any public place.
Before leaving the house, it will be on the mother sling or not, it is necessary to wear comfortable clothes, so that the extraction of the breast was as easy as possible for the mother and comfortable for the baby. One option might be:
- blouse with V-shaped cut; A special bust for feeding that supports the breast, and in which it is also evenly filled;
- a large shirt with buttons, unfastened that you can feed the baby almost imperceptibly;
- choose a few places for walks, which will contribute to a better rest and the mother and baby and make the process of feeding more comfortable;
- the presence of an assistant (husband, grandfather, grandmother, brother, girlfriend) who can close her mother herself or a sheet for the time of this important process.
Places where you should always help
If the time of the journey began to rain, snow and the wind rose, which makes the feeding of the fresh air impossible, then the mother can run into the nearest children's clinic. If she, as expected, is not equipped with a special "Mama's room for a child," then no one will condemn her mother for feeding her baby just under the door of any office. The premises of the pharmacy, which recently often are equipped with little bells at a little distance from the cash registers, also fit as a temporary shelter for feeding. Pharmacies are dangerous in the period of epidemics and during a large amount of people. In this case, you can ask for a temporary shelter for any cafe, restaurant or children's shop, while looking at future toys.
What you should not do
Young people and her environment should know and remember that at the time of feeding, she should feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. It is important not only for mom, but for the baby. Therefore, no matter what place a mother does not choose for feeding, one should avoid:
- Stresses. This is the first enemy of breastfeeding, tk. causes a decrease in lactation, influencing the production of the hormone oxytocin by the mother's organism.
- Detachment of the newborn from the chest during the approach of strangers. Calm first. The pose should be as comfortable as possible, so if there is nothing to hide behind or completely secluded, then it is not necessary to create a hidden and mysterious appearance, feeding should be of a free, unobtrusive character.
Anyone who has chosen breastfeeding should understand that this is a natural process of initial immorality or reprehensible in it. During walks in the parkestoite to get acquainted with the same feeding mummies, in whose society will come the confidence and tranquility.
Healthier society, the more relaxed it relates to such a process as breastfeeding a baby in a public place. And in our time this process should not cause criticism, apooschrenie and hope for the development of a healthy attitude to such a vital process as breastfeeding.
