The truth about breastfeeding myths
YOUR BABY TÈTE SO often YOU HAVE NOT ENOUGH milk "
Your newborn’s stomach is the size of his fist, no more. So he needs little to fill it up and sometimes baby just needs to drink and not have a full meal. If your nursing position is correct and your baby is well stuck after feeding, then don’t hesitate to give her breast more frequently. This stimulates your milk production for later.
“YOU MUST GIVE IN EVERY 4 HOURS, 20 MINUTES per TÉTÉE”
Time doesn’t matter. Feel free to breastfeed on demand when your baby shows signs of hunger. His appetite will be varied from meal to meal and from day to day, so don’t expect to follow an operating pattern or routine in the first few weeks.
“YOU NEED TO DRINK A LOT OF milk to produce milk”
A healthy diet composed of vegetables, fruits, cereal and protein is all a mother needs to have the right nutrients needed for milk production. Calcium is also found in a range of non-dairy foods such as dark green vegetables, seeds, nuts, and bone fish. Besides, have you ever seen other mammals drinking milk?
“SOME BABY ARE ALLERGIC TO THEIR MOM’S Milk”
Rest assured, it is impossible to be allergic to breast milk. That said, your baby may be allergic to something you eat (it’s usually cow’s milk or soy! ) If you are facing this case, removing the suspect food from your diet usually solves the problem.
“THE within IN-PACIFIER DOES NOT exist”
It can be confusing for a small mouth to switch from breast to bottle and sometimes it leads to the wrong method of sucking in the breast. Having a good baby bottle sometimes helps to avoid this, but it’s not always possible.
“THERE IS NOTHING TO breastfeeding A BABY OVER ONE YEAR”
Breast milk is an ideal supplement to solid diet and continues to stimulate the immune system for as long as it is consumed.
“YOU MUST ALWAYS GIVE TWO BREASTS TO EVERY TÉTÉE”
To make sure your baby benefits from a mixture of early feeding and end-feeding milk, it’s important to let your baby finish breast feeding, even if it means he won’t take the second.
“Babies have all the milk they need in the first five minutes”
This would be damn handy, wouldn’t it! Even if this is true for a lot of older babies, it’s better to let your baby suck until he shows signs that he’s done. For example, he relaxes his hands and arms or spontaneously detached from the breast.
“TOO MUCH Baby Milk CAN MAKE YOUR BABY BIG”
Who can invent this kind of nonsense? Breast milk is perfect in nutrition. Its composition changes over the weeks and months to maintain a balanced diet, adjusting as your baby grows.
“YOU CAN ’ T BE Pregnant WHEN YOU ALLAITE”
Better to restore the truth on this matter. Breastfeeding your baby exclusively every four hours without any use of a lollipop sometimes helps to remove ovulation for the first six months. That said, it’s not a reliable method of birth control, so it’s better that you talk to your doctor about the adapted methods you have.
“THE AIGRES PRODUISENT OF”
Being angry or upset will have no impact on the quality of your milk! If feeding has been difficult and your baby seems restless, he may just feel the tension that lives in you.
“breastfeeding FACT THE”
Unfortunately, this tends to happen to all women with age, whether or not. Unless you find an elixir of eternal youth…
“A ALLAITÉ BABY NEED TO DRINK MORE WATER IN HOT TIME”
Breast milk contains all the water a baby needs.
“getting your milk is a good way to know how much milk you’re making”
A baby will always be able to breastfeed more milk than you can get. Getting your milk just informs you of how much milk you can get and this amount depends every time on a range of factors, including your stress level!
