As soon as mother tells her relatives and friends that her child is not getting better, then very different and contradictory suggestions and advice will follow. Very good in such cases, if the woman finds the true source of the problem and the problem is solved with minimal losses. But this happens rarely, most often a woman, tired of numerous attempts to increase the amount of milk, begins to feed the child with mixtures. Across time, and altogether stop the child from breastfeeding, the child becomes an "artificial".
Since the woman does not understand all the processes taking place in her organism, she will blame for what is happening, not an overlay, but her own breasts and herself. There is another reason why some lactating women do not refuse to use a silicone lining - silicone protects the nipple of a woman of a hungry child, and the lining itself is very convenient to use. The nipple of the lining acquires perfect shapes, which are very comfortable for the child, especially when the nipple of a woman is depressed or flattened. Many women, after trying at least once to feed the baby through a silicone pad, decide for themselves that from now on they will use it often.
Why the child is losing weight
The child, sticking to the silicone pad on the nipple, begins to work hard with his mouth, but at the same time the milk gets less necessary. When suckling the mother's breast through the silicone pad, the coefficient of usefulness decreases several times. The kid, although he sucked actively, often falls asleep, but in the breast of a woman receives a signal that it is necessary to reduce the amount of milk produced, which in the chest again there is a lot. For the next feeding the child will squeeze even less milk, because to extract it every time through an overlay because of reduction of a quantity of milk will be all more difficult. There is a vicious circle: the child is constantly not eating, but at the same time, to put more effort into it. Milk is decreasing in the daytime, after all, through a silicone pad, it takes a small portion of the milk in the breast, and as the milk remains a lot, the milk glands begin to produce even less.
In case the woman decides after a long feeding through the silicone overlay to go to the feeding without her, then she will have to have patience. You need to gradually move, first feed with a patch, apotheom to feed a child without a lining, with each day should reduce the duration of feeding through a silicone pad, and the duration of feeding without a lining to increase. Thus, in a week, you can generally give up the silicone pads.
In the event that a woman is sure that her nipple is ready for feeding, then she can completely stop using nakladok.Esli nipple, hardened, elastic and not effeminate, changes in the conditions of feeding will not harm the pacifier. But if the breast always kept in the warmth, she wrapped herself, and the woman in every possible way protected her from external influence, then the mouth of the child, who is used to sucking the silicone, can injure her, causing pain that each feeding will increase. In such cases, more often than not, women return to using silicone pads, and the problem remains unresolved.
Is it possible to recover the amount of milk
Here the long-term use of the silicone overlay plays an important role. If a woman's baby is fed through an overlay of 1-1.5 weeks, the amount of milk can be increased in the back of the week, but only if the woman is fed with two breasts. When using the lining for more than 2-3 weeks, there is a probability that the youngster will not be introduced a bait, he will be thinner than his peers.
To increase the amount of milk the child will have to feed longer and more often. Also, to increase the amount of milk for a nursing woman, one should introduce vegetable salads from vegetables (raw only) and freshly squeezed vegetable vegetables into the diet. It would be nice to organize your life in such a way that there is enough time to sleep, and in the evenings it is best to sleep together with a baby, then the amount of milk will also increase.
Can I save breast from pain and inflammation without resorting to silicone pads ?
It is not recommended for the breast to create unnecessarily greenhouse conditions, especially warming it, as this can lead to a disturbance of the body's regulation of the body and any decrease in body temperature in the subsequent leads to problems. Cool water or contrast shower will help during pregnancy to harden the breasts, make the nipples hardy and elastic, thus preventing further crackling and inflammation. Even the birth of a child can accustom his nipples to various mechanical effects-rubbing the pieces of ice, squeezing, rubbing against clothing and then breastfeeding does not bring any suffering and pain. If the baby is not properly applied to the breast, then this may be the nipples, so carefully study this question.
Some women, whose nipples are not prepared for feeding, helps to prevent cracking a large amount of time between feedings. But in this case it is necessary to take into account other factors. For example, a child may need to be fed very often, regardless of the condition of the mother's nipples. To determine the maximum and minimum allowable time between feedings, the child's health, age and weight, individual characteristics and behavior of the child should be taken into account.
If the child weighs less than 2.5 kilograms, then feed it every 1.5-2 hours. This is the time interval in the daytime. If the child weighs about 3 kg, then every 2-2.5 kg. At night, it is desirable to feed less often. The minimum intervals of time between feeding in young children depend on whether the mother will give them a charge in a premature feeding. Between the start of charging and the end of feeding, at least one hour must pass.
If a child was born small, then it should be fed more often than children who were born large. If they sleep for a long time, they are encouraged to wake up, especially when it comes to newly born children. Growing up, a child will gain weight, and suck will be less likely, but more intense.
Children, poorly gaining weight, need to feed often, and even at night, children need to wake up. If the milk is low, then its amount can be increased if the child is often applied to the chest. To awaken a child for feeding is necessary also in those cases when it helps to cure the breast of the inflammation and hardening of the mammary glands. Not allowing milk to stagnate, the child becomes a kind of rescuer and many mothers are grateful to them for this.
