Things to note during breastfeeding

1. Don’t take medicine randomly: Breastfeeding mothers, like pregnant mothers, should not take medicine randomly. If a breastfeeding mother falls ill, she must follow the doctor's advice. The doctor will prescribe medicine that will not affect breast milk. Do not go to the pharmacy to buy medicine on your own. Some medicines will be absorbed by the baby through breast milk and have side effects on the baby's body. Therefore, mothers must follow the doctor's advice and pay attention to their own health.

2. Breastfeeding hygiene: Mothers should remember to wipe the nipples with a hot towel before breastfeeding to ensure a clean entrance for the baby. Please remember to wipe it after feeding to prevent dirt from sticking to it. Wipe the baby's mouth after drinking milk. Breast milk is a little sticky, and it will be very uncomfortable if it sticks dryly to the baby's mouth.

3. Ensure sufficient milk: Breastfeeding mothers are responsible for the meals of two people. They need to absorb nutrients themselves and provide enough nutrition to the baby. Therefore, mothers must take care of their own health and nutrition so that they can have enough milk to supply the baby and let the baby grow up quickly.

4. Excess milk: If mothers produce excess milk and feel engorged, they can use a breast pump to suck out the milk. The sucked milk can be refrigerated in the refrigerator and then warmed up for the baby when he wants to drink. If there is enough milk, just pour it out. Remember to clean the breast pump before and after each use to avoid bacteria.

5. When feeding, when the baby is eating from one breast, milk will often flow from the other breast. If the mother has little milk, she can use a cup to collect the milk. Mothers with excessive milk can use a towel to block the milk, which will stop it from flowing out after a while and also to prevent clothes from getting wet. Or you can also use breast pads.

6. Let the baby burp after feeding: After feeding, mothers should hold the baby, let the baby's head rest on your shoulder, arch your palm and pat the baby's back to let the baby burp. After the burp, the baby will not spit up or spill milk.

7. Don’t eat randomly: Breastfeeding mothers are also restricted in what they eat. It is best not to eat or eat less food that is too cold, too spicy, or not nutritious. For the health of the baby, breastfeeding mothers have to endure it.
