How to prepare a breast for feeding, so that mom and baby are happy together?
Today, many future mothers are concerned about the question of how to prepare the breast for feeding? And this interest is justified. Because as long as there is time before the appearance of the baby, then you must definitely give time to your body. In the future it will help to avoid problems such as various irritations, cracks in the nipples, all sorts of painful sensations during feeding.
Most often, cracks appear on the nipples because the tender skin of the breast has not been prepared for such processes as frequent sucking or constant pumping.
Of course, every girl has her own physiological characteristics. So, one mommy can do nothing, and yet never encounter, none of these problems. And for another girl, breastfeeding can become a nightmare, and all because of the fact that during the time the question of how to prepare the breast for feeding was not studied.
Nobody knows how the process of feeding will take place in each particular case. Therefore, it is better to give proper attention in advance to your body than to regret it in vain.
So, if there are no restrictions, then most doctors recommend, first of all, to do regular nipple massage, so that they are somewhat boring. Massage can be done with a bra made of hard material or at least insert pads of rough fabric, for example, from a terry towel. It is also necessary several times a day to wash the chest with a little cool water and then gently rub it (again, with a towel).
For those who have a pregnancy during the summer period, daily air baths in the open air will be an excellent training, but always in the shade (avoid direct sunlight).
After the baby has appeared in the house, and the feeding is no longer easy, and you still want to continue breastfeeding after a year, you should follow the standard personal hygiene rules - wash your hands with soap and take a shower so as not to infect the mammary glands Or in the baby's mouth. It is very important to wear a comfortable bra made of soft fabrics, without waterproof inserts.
Many mothers are especially afraid of such a process as night-feeding by the breast. After all, very often mom, putting the baby to his chest, falls asleep with him. But, fortunately, nature itself has provided that as soon as the baby is nadsya, he will let go of the chest, and will sleep soundly on.
Be happy with the baby! And let each feeding be just a joy!
