Why Not Breastfeed, The Mother's Antibodies Will Not Go Into The Baby's Body?
A baby should gain three times as much weight in the first year as it does at birth. This weight will depend on what the baby is eating. Breast milk is much more beneficial for a baby than formula. Therefore, mothers should not stop breastfeeding even if they are cowardly during the coronation. Such is the case with gynecologist and infertility specialist C Jayshree Reddy. In 'World Breastfeeding Week,' she answered some more urgent questions of new mothers in 'Anandabazar Online.'
1. What to do if there is not enough milk in the mother's body?
Answer: There are many reasons why the mother's body may not produce enough breast milk. In that case, the breasts need to be informed that more milk is needed. Breast massage is beneficial. Even more beneficial is breastfeeding the baby. If the amount of milk being produced in the body is not finished, the body will not produce milk again. So you can also keep the milk out with the help of a breast pump. Drink enough water, reduce caffeine, bathe in lukewarm hot water or use a heating pad before breastfeeding. And don't be too stressed about this. Under stress, the body can produce less milk. Try to enjoy the experience.
2. Sometimes, babies become more accustomed to formula milk instead of breast milk. What should be done in that case?
A: Remember, breast milk is always more beneficial than a formula for any baby. Antibodies go from the mother's body to the baby's body through breast milk. The formula will not have that. So it is more likely to be a disease. If the baby does not want to drink breast milk, then you can try some ways.
• Try putting the baby on your lap in a different way. A lot of times, kids feel uncomfortable in one place. It will not work if you give up. You have to change the place to see how the baby is breastfeeding.
• Change your place. Many times the baby will not want to suck in too much noise. Go to a quiet place and see.
• If you are hungry, breastfeed immediately. If the baby's stomach is full, he will not want to eat anything by force.
• Touching the baby's body with the mother's body is very important. Only then will the baby breastfeed comfortably.
Why is breast milk important to keep the newborn healthy? The doctor is answering.
3. Breastfeeding mothers can get the covid vaccine, the center said. What do you like?
Answer: Everyone should get vaccinated immediately. New mothers will be able to protect themselves and their babies more when they are vaccinated. When mothers are vaccinated, their bodies will produce IgG and IgA antibodies, which enter the baby's body through breast milk and protect the baby. Even so, breastfeeding protects babies from many diseases. That should be the case. None of the antidotes on the market so far are harmful to breast milk. So be sure to get vaccinated.
4. Can the baby be breastfed if the mother is covid? How should it be done?
Answer: No viral RNA has been found from the breast milk of mothers infected with covid. Therefore, covid infection through breast milk has not been heard. However, hands should be washed well before breastfeeding. If you want to hold the baby after touching something, you have to sanitize the hand. You have to keep yourself clean. Suck after the mask. Try to prevent coughing while breastfeeding.
