什么是母乳喂养?

母乳喂养是从母亲的乳房中喂养牛奶的过程。在母亲使用吸奶器表达牛奶后,这可能会通过闩锁在母亲的乳房或奶瓶中。

Banner Health recommends breastfeeding, or nursing, a newborn within the first hour after birth if possible. Breast milk is rich in nutrients and antibodies that can help protect your baby from infections. Breastfeeding can also provide a multitude of benefits for the mother.

What Are the Benefits of Breastfeeding?

哺乳after birth can have many benefits for mom and baby. Breast milk has three stages with different benefits:

Colostrum

初乳是母乳的第一阶段。初乳厚且淡黄色,在怀孕期间和出生后几天产生。这种类型的牛奶充满了维生素,矿物质,高蛋白质和免疫球蛋白,可为婴儿提供抗体。

Transitional Milk

A few days after birth, colostrum is replaced by transitional milk. Transitional milk lasts two to four weeks. This type of milk contains more calories than colostrum and includes high levels of water-soluble vitamins, lactose and fat.

Mature Milk

Mature milk is the final stage of milk that is produced. This type of milk is mostly water to help keep an infant hydrated. It also contains proteins, fats and carbs to maintain a baby’s energy levels and help them grow. There are two different types of mature milk.

Fore-milk含有维生素,蛋白质和水。在喂养开始时发现了这种牛奶。接下来,来了Hind-Milk。这种成熟的牛奶含有更高水平的脂肪供婴儿增加体重。两种成熟的牛奶都是必要的,以确保婴儿获得适当的营养以适当生长和发展。

  • Lessens the risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome)

What Are the Side Effects of Breastfeeding?

哺乳can also come with some side effects and challenges. There aren’t many side effects of breastfeeding for the baby. The challenges and side effects of breastfeeding mostly affect mothers during the first couple of weeks after giving birth.

母乳喂养可能影响母亲的副作用包括:

  • Nipple pain and discomfort
  • 背疼
  • 瘀血
  • 自由和身体自主权的丧失

常见的母乳喂养挑战

有很多与母乳喂养相关的起伏,尤其是在分娩后的头几天和几周内。这些是一些最常见的母乳喂养挑战:

Milk Supply

许多妇女担心母乳喂养时可能不会产生太多牛奶。母乳喂养经常,尤其是在出生后的头几周,是增加牛奶供应的主要方式。请记住,身体自然会产生宝宝的需求。如果您认为自己没有生产足够的牛奶,请注意湿和脏尿布的数量以及宝宝增加的体重。

闩锁

闩锁is the most important aspect of breastfeeding. If not done properly, your baby may not be getting the milk it needs. Some parents find it difficult to get their baby to latch, but proper latching takes time. A proper latch will encompass both the nipple and areola in the baby’s mouth. If you’re having trouble with latching, talk to your doctor.

塞牛奶管道

A plugged milk duct is a very common problem during breastfeeding. Breast milk flows through ducts and then comes out through the nipple. If one of the ducts becomes plugged, milk can back up and cause a tender lump. A plugged duct could lead to a breast infection. There are several remedies to get your milk flowing again. These remedies include:

  • 通过使用受影响的乳房或抽水来喂养婴儿来清空乳房
  • 每次进食之前,在受影响的乳房上施加热量
  • Wear looser clothing
  • Change breastfeeding positions to stimulate all ducts
  • 在进食之前和期间,在受影响的乳房上施加轻轻的压力

If your plugged duct lasts more than a few days, gets bigger or you develop a fever, schedule an appointment with your doctor.

Infections

塞牛奶管或细菌会导致乳房的脂肪组织感染。乳房组织的炎症称为乳腺炎,在某些情况下会导致乳房肿胀,疼痛,发红和发烧。

乳腺炎的症状可能突然出现,包括:

  • Breast swelling, tenderness or warmth
  • 乳房组织增厚
  • 皮肤发红
  • Yellow discharge from the nipple
  • 母乳喂养时连续疼痛或灼热感
  • Flu like symptoms, including body aches, chills, fever, nausea and fatigue

Mothers can also experience a fungal infection called thrush. This type of infection is often also referred to as a yeast infection. Signs of thrush include:

  • Pink, flaky, cracked or blistered nipples
  • Sore nipples that last more than a few days
  • 母乳喂养几周后,乳头酸痛,没有疼痛
  • 白色斑点inside the baby’s cheeks, tongue or gums
  • Breast aches or shooting pain deep in the breast during or after feeding

如果您患有乳腺炎症状,请安排与您的医生预约。如果您遇到鹅口疮的症状,请确保您还会致电婴儿医生同时接受治疗。

倒,平坦或大乳头

乳头有多种形状和尺寸。如果您倒置,平坦或大乳头,您仍然可以母乳喂养。用扁平或倒乳头进行母乳喂养可能需要更多的时间和帮助,以帮助您的婴儿闩锁。与您的医生,哺乳顾问或母乳喂养专家交谈,以获取有关如何帮助婴儿闩锁的提示。

What If My Baby Is In NICU?

Keeping up your milk supply while your baby is in the NICU can be challenging. If your baby is in the NICU due to prematurity, breast milk is important to help build their immune system. However, mothers may have trouble producing breastmilk due to their baby being born pre-term and the number of stressors associated with a baby in the NICU.

在大多数情况下,早期婴儿首先将通过喂养管给予母乳,因为他们学会发展其喂养技能。尽管您的宝宝可能还没有准备好护理,但请尽可能多地使用皮肤对皮肤接触来抱着宝宝。

一旦您的宝宝准备好哺乳,他们可能会在乳头上遇到困难。您的NICU护士可能会建议您使用乳头盾,以使护理更轻松并适应牛奶的流动。为了建立您的牛奶供应,我们建议使用高质量的吸奶泵。
