Cycle duration

In order to protect the health of mothers and infants, reduce the number of infants mortality In the world, the protection, promotion and support of maternal and infant feeding have become an important part of maternal and child health work. Nursing care is to guide breastfeeding and nursing health, including the amount of breast milk secreted, factors affecting the amount of milk secreted, feeding methods and breast care, diet, rest, sleep Weaning Etc.
Lactation is mammal Growth and development The important stage that should be experienced. For example, a lion's lactation period is three months; The lactation period of dogs is 30-45 days; The lactation period of female rabbits is generally 30-40 days. The composition of mammalian milk is very complex. Species, food, season, age parity Lactation period And individual characteristics can affect the composition of milk. The milk of all kinds of mammals contains water protein , fat, sugar inorganic salt And vitamins. The proteins in milk are mainly casein , followed by Whey protein and Lactoglobulin

fasting

Because the malt in malt will inhibit the mammary gland from secreting milk, which will reduce the amount of milk Baby health Adverse.
2. Spicy and irritant food
as Leek a garlic bolt Pepper , pepper, fennel, wine and other food. Breastfeeding mothers should try to eat less stimulating food. Irritating food is not only easy to damage fluid, consume gas and blood, increase the weakness of qi and blood, and cause constipation. It is also easy to enter the baby's body through milk, affecting the baby's health. However, a small amount of spices, such as pepper, sour vinegar, etc., are still OK.
3. Fried food, high fat food
This kind of food is not easy to digest. The mother's digestion is weak during the lactation period. In addition, the nutrition of fried food has lost a lot during the frying process postpartum recovery Poor health.
4、 Leek , malt water, ginseng and other foods
This kind of food will inhibit the secretion of milk, resulting in insufficient supply of breast milk.
5. Pickled meat and fish
Adults every day Salt content It is 4.5-9g. According to the usual habits, don't avoid salt and don't eat too salty.

Eight Mistakes

1. Feeding when angry: When the mother is angry or just gives birth to gas, she will let the baby inhale toxic Milk juice Poisoning can cause sores in the mild cases and illness in the severe cases.
2. Feeding after exercise: the body will produce lactic acid Lactic acid is trapped in the blood and makes the milk taste bad. Therefore, nursing mothers should only engage in some mild exercise, and after the exercise, take a rest before feeding.
3. Sleeping and lactation: It is easy to be dangerous to feed the baby in a hazy way from a busy day to the night, especially when the baby needs to nurse in the second half of the night. No matter how tired a nursing mother is, she should sit up and feed as in the daytime. The feeding time line should not be too dark, and the baby's Skin color After feeding, hold the baby upright and gently pat the back. After the baby burps, put it down.

6. Regular feeding: now advocated“ Breastfeeding on demand ”That is, whenever the baby cries or the mother thinks it is necessary to feed, she will pick up the baby and feed it. Generally, after a period of time, it will gradually form a certain pattern of the baby itself.
7. Only wean during work: storing breast milk not only allows the baby to continue to enjoy breast milk, but also keeps the mother's milk secretion to prevent pain. Milking available Milker Or hand squeeze. The extruded milk should be placed in sterilized glass or Plastic bottle Inside. Ideally, breast milk storage bags should be used, domestic market They are also sold. The stored milk can be stored for 12 hours at room temperature.

For this reason, try to feed both sides every time you breastfeed. Even if the baby ate one breast Milk When she is full, her mother should empty the other breast.

Recuperate

Health is the foundation of beauty. Only with health can we keep beauty! During pregnancy, expectant mothers need to use their own nutrition to supply the fetus, and a lot of blood is lost during childbirth. Although they are constantly replenishing during pregnancy and postpartum, it is not enough to rely solely on diet for the lost nutrition and blood. At the same time, long-term lactation is required after delivery, which further aggravates the yin injury.
Although lactation of postpartum women is a normal physiological phenomenon, traditional Chinese medicine believes that milk is transformed by blood, which is the yin blood of the human body. The continuous loss of milk during lactation will make women's body Blood score The state of relative deficiency is just like "women's birth is more than qi, less than blood, and bleeding by its number", which will lead to women's physique entering the "physiological maintenance period" of "constant yin deficiency".
At the same time, we should pay attention to the tense life rhythm and heavy working pressure , environmental impact, etc“ Injure yin ”The existence of the factor of immunity Down the menopause The physiological stage is advanced, accompanied by fatigue, amnesia, insomnia anemia . The skin loses its luster, and even wrinkles, white hair, tooth loss, staggering and other symptoms occur. If postpartum women want to pursue a beautiful face, moist skin, and slim figure, they must pay attention to nourishing yin and health care after lactation.

But the premise is that you are not allergic to shrimp crawlers and don't eat too much. Pregnant women who are allergic should not eat, and ordinary pregnant women should not eat too much. At the same time, pay attention to selecting fresh shrimp crawlers.
The function of the spleen and stomach of the parturient has not yet recovered after delivery, and the breast begins to secrete milk, Mammary duct It is not smooth enough, and it is not suitable to eat a lot of greasy food Prolactin (Whole milk) food. In cooking, use less frying and more easily digested stewed food with soup. It is better to be light, follow the tradition of "clearing before delivery and warming after delivery", and eat less Cold food Avoid eating food that affects the secretion of milk malt , malt milk extract Beer Etc.

Contraceptive methods

Lactating women Optional contraception There are many methods. The general principle is not to affect the secretion of milk and the growth and development of the baby. Each person can choose according to his own actual situation to pass the lactation period smoothly. with Male condom , female contraceptive diaphragm Plus contraception ointment It is better. No Oral contraceptives , because it will affect the secretion of milk and the growth and development of infants.

Disease care

The American Association of Family Physicians breast-feeding 's mother provided the following Medication guidance
·If your mother has to take medicine orally when she is ill, please choose to take medicine just after feeding. At this time, taking the medicine can give the medicine sufficient time to circulate and metabolize.

If have a fever , you need to go to the hospital for treatment, and ask the doctor to give drugs that do not affect breastfeeding. have a high fever When necessary, breast-feeding can be suspended, but milk should still be squeezed out during the suspension to ensure continuous secretion of milk.
A small recipe of traditional Chinese medicine

Use drugs with caution

Because most of the drugs taken by nursing mothers can be excreted from milk, some drugs such as erythromycin The depth of thiouracil, thiouracil, etc. in milk is also higher than the concentration of maternal blood, and the baby also ate the medicine while feeding. Because the absorption and metabolism process of drugs in infants is not yet mature, the metabolism and excretion of drugs in the body are slow and easy to accumulate in the body. Therefore, nursing mothers must be cautious when taking medicine.
Almost all drugs can be transferred to the milk through the plasma milk barrier, and breast fed infants can suck 800-1000ml of milk every day. Therefore, attention should also be paid to medication during lactation. The factors affecting the drug transport to milk are as follows:
1、 Route of administration : The peak time of drugs in maternal blood is different. Such as antibiotic vein Administration After that, the peak value appeared in the maternal blood immediately. Oral administration varies from drug to drug. It usually takes 60-120 minutes for the peak value to appear. The peak value in milk is generally 30-120 minutes later than that in plasma, and its peak value generally does not exceed that in plasma. The drug dissipation in milk decreases with time, and the rate of reduction is slower than that in plasma.
2. PH of drug: pH of maternal blood is 7.35-7.45, and pH of milk is 6.35-7.30. Practical proof Weak basic drugs such as erythromycin Lincomycin , isoniazid, etc. are easy to pass through the plasma milk barrier, and the drug concentration in milk can be the same as that in plasma, or even higher than that in plasma. On the contrary, weak acid drugs such as penicillin Sulfonamides If it is difficult to pass through the barrier, the drug concentration in milk is often lower than that in plasma.
3、 Liposolubility High and low: drugs with strong fat solubility are often non-ionic, easy to penetrate lipid Cells, soluble in breast milk Of fat; The drugs with low fat solubility are difficult to transport into milk even if they are non-ionic.
lactation
4、 Plasma protein binding rate : Drugs and Plasma protein After combination, it is difficult to pass Biomembrane Therefore, the concentration of free drugs affects the transport of drugs to milk, such as sulfonamides with high protein binding rate, Oxacillin sodium It is difficult to transfer to milk.
5. Molecular weight: drugs with molecular weight less than 200, such as alcohol morphine tetracycline Through simplicity Diffusion It can be transferred from plasma to milk, and heparin insulin etc. Polymer compound It is difficult to transfer to milk.
6. Maternal factor: the fat content in milk is high, which is beneficial to Liposoluble drug Transfer to milk. However, the maternal liver Renal insufficiency It can reduce the detoxification and excretion function of drugs, and drugs can accumulate in the blood. as Aminoglycosides The concentration of antibiotics in maternal blood can be significantly increased due to maternal liver and kidney dysfunction, so the amount of drug transported in milk is also relatively increased.
As for the effect of drugs on lactating infants, it mainly depends on the nature of drugs themselves.
Some drugs are safe for babies, but some drugs can cause adverse or even very serious reactions, such as pathologic jaundice Cyanosis deaf , liver and kidney function damage or vomiting, therefore, nursing mothers must be careful to use drugs. It is wise to explain to the doctor that you are feeding milk when you need medicine. Try to use medicine that cannot pass through milk, and do not take medicine at will.

Continuous lactation

Except for a few drugs that are forbidden during lactation, the excretion amount of other drugs in milk rarely exceeds 1%~2% of the amount of drugs used by mommy. This dose will not damage the baby's body. Breastfeeding should not be interrupted for the use of safe drugs.

Adjustment time

When using medicine, in order to reduce the amount of medicine absorbed by the baby, mommy can take the medicine immediately after breast-feeding and postpone the next time as far as possible Lactation time , at least every 4 hours, so that more drugs can be discharged from the body of the mother, and the drug concentration in the milk can be minimized.

Contraceptives

acyeterion With Testosterone progesterone And estrogen derivatives, which will inhibit Prolactin It can reduce the amount of milk secreted, and the breast milk secreted is not enough for the baby to eat. and, Contraceptives In Active ingredient With the milk entering the baby's body, the boy's breast will become larger and the girl's vaginal epithelium will proliferate. Therefore, nursing mothers should not adopt Drug contraception Method.

Cautious use of traditional Chinese medicine

Some traditional Chinese medicines are effective for postpartum moms Nourishing yin and blood Promoting blood circulation and removing stasis Can strengthen the physique and promote Uterine contraction And prevention Puerperal infection However, some Chinese medicines will enter the milk to make it yellow, or have the function of returning milk, such as rhubarb Stir fried malt , Xiaoyao Powder, peppermint, etc.
Gongxuening Capsules It can be used for bleeding due to uterine contraction after childbirth or abortion, but women in lactation should be able to stop feeding and stop breastfeeding for a week, during which time they can take Gongxuening capsule. Of course, if you want to continue breastfeeding, you should stop the treatment before feeding, so as not to affect the baby with drugs.

④ Children can be induced after taking tetracycline Anaphylactic reaction and Drug resistant strains At the same time, it coincides with the newly formed bone of children and the calcium deposited in the teeth, causing tooth pigmentation and enamel Hypoplasia , which is easy to happen dental caries
⑤ Acetylation of Isonicolin metabolite Yes, baby Hepatotoxicity Sulfonamides And Vedanza can cause haemolytic anaemias If children lack glucose —6— phosphoric acid dehydrogenase The mother can not only cause poisoning in children by taking orally betamethasone, but also eat Broad bean It can also cause acute hemolysis.
⑥ On Animal experiment It is found that quinolones can cause puppy Bearing capacity of Joint injury , so children and nursing mothers cannot take it norfloxacin ciprofloxacin Enoxacin Ofloxacin Levofloxacin Etc. In addition, mothers should never use it during lactation Antipsychotics Anticancer drug , cannot Alcoholism Or taking drugs. There are three principles for nursing mothers to use medicine: first, try to reduce Drug pair Influence of offspring; Second, since human milk is continuously secreted and does not remain in the body, if the mother needs to take medicine, she should take it 6 hours after taking it (one of the drugs Plasma half-life )Re feeding; Third, if the medicine has too much effect on the child, stop breastfeeding and temporarily replace it with artificial feeding. What are the medicines that affect children's health?
Aminoglycosides can cause hearing loss in children Nerve injury Jano Ketones Drugs can affect children's bone development; Tetracyclines Can affect) the tooth development of seven children; Aminophenol xanthamine( Ganmaotong )Can cause children hematuria Norepinephrine And doxorubicin can cause renal damage in children.
