Breastfeeding is interrupted when the mother is forced to be temporarily separated from the baby or takes medications that are not compatible with breastfeeding. There are times when the child himself refuses to breast as a result of supplementary feeding with artificial formula. In all these cases, the mother, who seeks to give the baby the best, the question arises: how to start breastfeeding again?
It is necessary
- - a cup, teaspoon or syringe without a needle;
- - tea for lactation.
Instructions
Step 1
Keep breastfeeding by pumping while weaning your baby. If you are not taking medications or other substances that are potentially harmful to the baby, give expressed milk. If a break in breastfeeding is made due to the need for treatment of the mother, freeze the required amount of expressed milk for future use.
Step 2
Try to keep bottle feeding to a minimum. It is easier for a baby to get milk from a nipple, and the sucking technique is also different. As a result, the baby will be reluctant to breastfeed or will refuse to breastfeed at all. That is why the bottle with a nipple, if possible, should be replaced with a cup, a syringe without a needle, a teaspoon.
Step 3
Offer your baby to breast when he is hungry. Try fewer attempts, but more often. 2-3 attempts are enough at a time, no more. Too "bore" the baby with the breast is not worth it, so that the child does not have a habit of protesting against her.
Step 4
To encourage the baby to pick up the breast, move the nipple over his lips and cheeks. In response, the baby will open his mouth and try to grab the nipple. If the baby has not picked up the breast correctly, the procedure should be repeated.
Step 5
Once the nipple is in the baby's mouth, press down on the breast with your hand to pour some milk into the baby's mouth. When he feels the familiar taste, he begins to suck himself.
Step 6
Spend more time with your baby: carry it in your arms, in a sling, you should also sleep together. To increase lactation use special teas: Hipp, "Babushkino's basket" and others. Drink plenty of fluids - up to 10 glasses a day. Don't limit yourself to food.
