Nursing Bra

Nursing bra is one of the attributes for breastfeeding mothers are commonly used. Nursing bra will be difficult to find in regular clothing stores. There are various models but broadly there are only two, namely a wire brace and without. I would rather suggest to buy and wear a nursing bra with no wire support and a rather loose to stay comfortable. Especially when your breasts are full will feel crowded, loud and sick, when we use that too fitting bra size would be very uncomfortable.

State of the small number of breast-feeding mothers must be very worrying.

Weight loss of newborns

Weight loss of newborns is something that naturally happened. No need to worry if the baby’s weight has decreased during the first days of his birth.For indeed until day 4 , he will lose about 5-7% of birth weight. This is a time for children to adjust to the real world.To compensate for the weight loss, it is recommended that babies be breastfed every 2-3 hours in a day or every baby like to drink .

Breastfeeding is a challenging process for both mother and child. Any mother who had just given birth must be feeling pleased and tired. Especially new mothers who had their first child. With the lack of experience and desire to provide the best for her baby will be more easily stressed when things are not going well.

Manual Breast Pump Vs Elektric Breast Pump

For example, for mothers who work in office so far apart from her baby, excessive milk production, the baby can not breastfeed directly for some reason, etc.. Breast milk can be removed with some ways that is milked by hand directly or using a breast pump.There are 2 kinds of manual breast pumps and electric breast pump.

Frequency of Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding should be done as soon as possible after delivery. Infants and mothers who do breastfeeding within 1 hour after birth have a greater success than those who delay. Newborns should be nursed every 2-3 hours until the baby is satisfied. Breastfeeding at least 5 minutes on each breast on the first day after birth and increasing frequency every day so as to increase milk production optimally. When feeding 20 minutes on each breast enough for the baby. No need to limit the time of breastfeeding. Frequency of breastfeeding that often can increase milk production.

The process of production, secretion, and milk is called lactation expenditures.

Increasing the volume of breast milk

Increasing the volume breast milk .Increasing the volume of milk. There are things that must be taken to ensure that the volume of milk can be increased. Get plenty of rest, not stress, feeding on a regular basis, enough fluids and eating nutritious foods with adequate portions.

Duration of breastfeeding

Prompts for the duration of exclusive breastfeeding is during the first 6 months which means that children were given only breast milk alone. After exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months, continue breastfeeding until 2 years. The reason is the number of disease affecting children under 2 years, ranging from mild to severe and even that can lead to disability. Remember that in the process of breastfeeding in addition to nutrition also "soldiers" (white blood cells) capital will flow into the child's body. Another reason is the formation of a stronger bond between mother and child.
