Feeding the child who has got used to a breast from a bottle
When partial breastfeeding is desired or desired, be prepared for the fact that a child who receives only breasts will not show much enthusiasm for the new container and its contents. Try these recommendations on your little gourmet.
• If your child is a committed breast follower, call a person with a large experience of bottle feeding, such as a grandmother or other mother, whose baby is on artificial feeding. It is quite natural that the breast-feeding mother feels somewhat clumsy, giving her child a bottle, and the child can smell the smell of mother's milk and feel her uncertainty. After the child learns to take the bottle from the hands of someone else who has experience, the next in line to feed the child from the bottle is the father.
• Do not frighten your little horse. Some children take a bottle when they are kept in the same position as when breast-feeding;others refuse the bottle if they are given it in a situation or situation that reminds them of breastfeeding. If the position "in the cradle"( when the mother holds the baby at the breast in front and the child lies on her arm) knocks the child off and he expects that your lush breasts will serve him more than just a pillow, try to keep the baby under anotherangle, giving birth to fewer associations, and sit down in places where you never breastfeed, or put the child in a sling bag and walk around the house when you offer the baby a bottle.
• Use the pacifier most convenient. Choose a pacifier with a wide, areola-like reservoir behind the tip. Do not take nipples, in which the child and grab almost anything. The nipple with a small hole from which milk flows slowly and which the child really has to suck on will be more likely to be accepted by the baby than the nipple from which the milk is pouring a stream, resulting in a choking eater choking.
• Ensure that the child grasps the artificial nipple using the same techniques that he uses on his or her favorite mother's nipples: the mouth is wide open, the lips are turned outward, and the gums squeeze at least 2.5 cm from the tip of the nipple. If a child has a habit of taking a rubber nipple, as do lazy eaters, an everyday transition to your own nipples can be difficult and painful.
• To make it even more tractable, warm up the pacifier put on the bottle in warm water to make it more flexible, like a breast. Try to change the temperature of the nipple in accordance with the changing needs of the child. A chilled nipple may appear to a child whose teeth are chapped, more attractive.
• Teach the substitute for you to communicate with your child during bottle feeding in much the same way as you do during breastfeeding. Advise to undress the baby before feeding and wear a blouse with short sleeves to ensure skin contact. It is important to maintain eye contact during feeding;to feed is not only to give milk, but also to communicate.
• Show the nurse how to give the baby between the feeding to suck a finger. This helps to satisfy the child's need for sucking, and also to facilitate the child's process of getting used to another person.
• Do not make the child a bottle support. It is not safe to leave the child unattended in the crib or in the child seat, allowing him to keep the bottle himself.
ruled its nipple into its neck. It was a little awkward, but as soon as I got used to it, everything went like clockwork.(Medela now produces a funnel for manual expression that helps to collect all the splashes of milk.)
I started with the most full chest, from which more milk dripped, and learned to press the nipple of the second breast with my forearm to stop leaking( why lose this liquid gold!).Holding the milk bottle with one hand, the second I held my chest. I began to express my hand on the same side as my chest, and then, later, I changed my hand to press a different angle and empty all the sinus nimbuses, all over the "dial"( that is, the thumb of the hand and the other four fingers are first ontwelve and six hours, then ten and four, then we pass to the other hand and put our fingers on two and eight).As soon as the milk reflex reflex was turned on, milk most often beat the fountain in itself. When the milk stopped beating, I again took up strong rhythmic movements and continued until the flow of milk dried up and it was only digging. Then I moved to another position of the same hand and squeezed out more, then changed my hand and occupied another position on the "dial" of the areola. It is this technique of the manual expression of milk, known as the Marmet technique, that I am now using,
, after the birth of my other children, and it is she who teaches, working as a breastfeeding consultant.
