Learn about the four most common breastfeeding problems

For some babies and moms, breastfeeding follows well from and there is no problem during this time. But breastfeeding can have its ups and downs, especially in the beginning. Here are some suggestions so that the mother knows what to do in case of:

Food sensitivity

Sometimes it is common for us to feel that certain food does not fit in our stomach. Similarly, depending on the food you eat, your baby may feel some kind of reaction after receiving the breast milk. He may react by crying, becoming restless, wanting to nurse more often, and most of the time becoming inconsolable.

It is easy to confuse this problem with newborn cramps, but there is a difference: while cramps usually occur daily during the first three months, pains from food sensitivity occur only after the mother ingests the sensitizing food and the reaction in the baby disappears within a maximum of 24 hours.

Foods that cause gas, such as cabbage, onions, garlic , broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, beans, and turnips, can cause discomfort to some babies.

Foods that cause gas, such as cabbage, onions, garlic, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, beans, and turnip, can cause discomfort to some babies. Usually the symptoms will disappear in less than a day and will not occur until the mother feeds again with the same food.

In some rare cases, babies may develop a major allergy to cow's milk or other dairy products that they make part of the mother's diet and will have colic for periods of several hours after receiving breast milk. This type of problem usually causes, in addition to colic, a great gastrointestinal discomfort, causing the baby to stretch the legs in pain.

You can test which foods cause reactions in the baby by slowly consuming them, one at a time, with several days separating the intake between them. If the baby is not well positioned in the breast or does not know how to suck properly when you start to suckle, you may end up having cracked or bruised nipples.

Breastfeeding should not cause pain or discomfort to the mother.

Cracked nipples are almost always the result of incorrect positioning of the baby on the mother's chest and the incorrect handle that causes the baby to bite or traumatize the mother's nipple. Breastfeeding should not cause pain or discomfort to the mother. If the nipple or other areas of the chest are very sore, seek guidance from a breastfeeding support group.

Wash your breasts only with water, without soap. Creams and lotions should also be avoided as they usually aggravate the problem. Try to vary the position of the baby at the time of breastfeeding by limiting the length of breastfeeding in each breast between five and 10 minutes.

Breast Augmentation

As already mentioned, breasts can become sore and "hard" if the baby does not feeding well and often in the first few days after the milk has come down. A little engorgement is normal when breastfeeding begins, but more severe cases need medical help. The best treatment for common cases is milking between the feedings and the certainty that the baby will breastfeed on both breasts at each feed.

Breastfeeding - Photo Mastitis is a breast infection caused by bacteria. It causes swelling, heat, and pain. It usually affects a breast or part of it, leading the mother to a feverish state and causing a feeling of malaise. These cases should be treated by a doctor, who will prescribe some antibiotic to contain the infection and, at the same time, allow the continuation of breastfeeding.Preparation, sterilization and storage of baby bottles

The water to be used in the preparation of baby bottles (formulas) must be filtered and sterilized (boiled). Also, all utensils, such as nipples, bottles, and anything else used in the breastfeeding process, should be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized.

To sterilize them, place in a pan of boiling water for five to 10 minutes. If you prepare the bottles in advance, you should keep them in the refrigerator to prevent the proliferation of bacteria. Bottles kept in the refrigerator and not used for a maximum of 24 hours should be discarded.

Time to bottle

The time to breastfeed should be quiet and pleasant for the mother and the baby. It is an excellent opportunity for the exchange of affection and so that both know each other. If the mother is calm and cheerful, her son will probably calm down as well. If you are nervous and feel indifferent when giving the bottle, you will probably experience a reaction of restlessness in your child.

Do not breast-feed while he is "fully lying down" as this increases the risk of suffocation. mother will be more comfortable in a chair with arms or cushions that will support your arms while giving the bottle. Try to carry it in a semi-fastened position. Do not breast-feed while you are "fully lying down," as this increases the risk of suffocation. This position can also cause the milk to reach the ear, causing infection.

Breastfeeding quantities and times

The newborn baby usually takes 60-90 ml of formula per feeding and will nurse at intervals of three to four hours in the first few weeks. During the first month, if your baby sleeps more than four or five hours straight and starts skipping some feedings, wake him up and offer the bottle.

After the first month of life, he will start taking at least 120 ml per feedings at approximately four-hour intervals between feedings. At six months, it will take between 180 and 240 ml per feed four to five times every 24 hours.

On average we can say that the baby sucks about 150 ml of formula for every pound of weight per day, but it will regulate the quantity required according to his own will. However, it is essential to have good judgment. Most babies are satisfied with 90 to 120 ml of formula per feeding in the first month, increasing the amount by 30 ml per month up to 240 ml. If your baby shows that you always want more or less than that, talk to your pediatrician. The baby should not eat more than 960 ml of formula in 24 hours.

At two months (or about 5 kg), most babies no longer need a feeding in the middle of the night because they day and begin to have a more regular nighttime sleep, but this can vary from baby to baby. The most important thing to keep in mind when breastfeeding, no matter if it is in the breast or with the bottle, is that it should be very special.
