Fashion nursing mothers
After the birth of our first child, I went with Marta for shopping for clothes. When I began to resent that she was messing around for too long, Martha explained: "For the first time in my life, I have to consider the needs of another person."Then a young mother came to my office in a tselnokroenom dress and frantically tried to bared, to give a breast to her crying child. The suckling baby was somewhere between a mountain of clothes and a half-naked mother. We both laughed, and the mother admitted her mistake: "Next time I'll get dressed according to the occasion."
When choosing a wardrobe for yourself and your baby, consider the following:
• Motley pattern, bright colors and plant patterns will hide milk that can leak;Avoid white and light shades, as well as tight fabrics.
• For unobtrusive feeding, the best type is a loose, top sweater that can be lifted from the waist. Your naked waist will be covered by a baby during feeding.
• A good choice is easily unfastened tops that will make your breasts easily accessible for inconspicuous, quick and easy feeding.
• Blouses specially designed for lactating women have a slit on each breast with Velcro fastening( Velcro fastener).
• Easy access is provided by blouses with a button closure on the front;remember that they should be unbuttoned from the bottom up, then the remaining buttoned up area will cover the child so that you can feed him imperceptibly. To diversify the limited assortment of models for lactating women available, put on a beautiful scarf or scarf on your shoulders and use it to hide from the eyes of the baby's sucking breasts.
• In cold weather, it can be quite uncomfortable, even if only a narrow strip of waist is open. The letter that came to the La Leche League monthly "New Beginnings" magazine offers this solution to this problem: wear an old sweatshirt with a cut-out sweatshirt, dressed at the waist in a skirt or trousers under a spacious sweatshirt. The t-shirt will protect you well from cold wind gusts, when the child will need your warm chest.
• Individual laundry items are more convenient than solid ones.
• One-piece dresses are not suitable for breastfeeding. In the stores of goods for moms and fashion catalogs for moms, one can usually find whole-cut models with special flaps on the chest.
• Two-piece ensembles and thermal underwear sets are practical, as well as sweaters with a high neck. The upper part of the toilet should be sufficiently free and easily lifted up.
• Warning, hurrying to the stores of mom! You may find that you are not able to squeeze into all the items of your previous wardrobe ward, until after the birth, nine months pass. Do not try to pull these things yourself too early. Tight blouses rub your nipples, they are uncomfortable and can cause a lactation reflex at the most inappropriate time.
Recommendation for young mothers who are ashamed to feed on people: carefully select your wardrobe for feeding and practice in feeding before the mirror. The main thing is that the face of your child is inside your clothes, and not to your chest was outside.
