Feeding concerns the health of offspring——

Defeat the "Obstacles" in Breastfeeding

Tomorrow is the National Breastfeeding Publicity Day. As the saying goes, "Gold and silver are not as good as mother's milk". However, on the road of adhering to breastfeeding, "roadblocks" are always emerging. Here, the experts strongly appeal that, unless absolutely necessary, we must insist on breastfeeding children.

　　 Low breastfeeding rate due to multiple reasons

At present, there is no doubt that the rate of exclusive breastfeeding in China is very low. According to a survey, 28.1% of the respondents believed that it was due to their own reasons, such as insufficient milk; 22.9% people choose breastfeeding knowledge is not enough; 22.7% believed that the marketing of milk powder was too rampant; 20.4% of them were due to poor feeding environment.

In addition to the above reasons, there are three reasons for the low rate of breast-feeding in China: first, government support needs to be improved. China has 16 million newborn babies every year, but new mothers do not have enough time for postpartum leave and lactation, and the milking conditions are poor after returning to work. Data shows that 93% of enterprises are not equipped with breastfeeding rooms. These all lead to mothers finally giving up breastfeeding.

Second, technical support for lactation is insufficient. In some developed countries, there will be family doctors' guidance on how to breastfeed. However, due to the relative shortage of medical resources in China, it is difficult for new mothers to get help from professional institutions when they encounter feeding difficulties.

Third, social support is insufficient. In the media and public places, we rarely see public service advertisements for breastfeeding, and the breastfeeding rooms in public places are also seriously inadequate.

　　 Powerful benefits of breastfeeding

The comparative study of non infection found that babies who were exclusively breastfed within 0~6 months, compared with other feeding methods, diarrhea 、 pneumonia The risk of infection and death is lower.

Allergy reduction From 1966 to 2001, at least 56 studies on breastfeeding and allergy have reached a clear conclusion that breastfeeding has a protective effect on allergic diseases.

After analyzing 28 related studies on obesity prevention, it was found that compared with formula milk, breast feeding can reduce the risk of obesity by 15% in the future, which may be related to the low protein content in breast milk.

A British study found that compared with milk fed children, breastfed children have an average IQ score of 6-7 points higher.

Experts from Sweden and the United Kingdom found that children who grew up through breastfeeding had stronger resistance to stress. A German study also found that children who breast fed in childhood suffered from depression Is relatively small.

In addition, breast-feeding is also very beneficial to mothers, for example, it is conducive to accelerating uterine contraction, accelerating the excretion of lochia, and faster body recovery; Can reduce the risk oophoroma 、 mammary cancer etc. cancer Risk; prevention osteoporosis Syndrome; Decrease Class Rheumatism arthritis Risk; reduce hypertension Risk, etc.

　　 Experts explain several doubts in detail

Chen Pan, a senior lactation coach of the International Breast Milk Association, said that formula milk powder has only been invented for more than 100 years, and human reproduction has gone through thousands of years. Every mother should be confident that she can provide enough breast milk for her baby, and should not give up when encountering problems.

1. How to prepare for "opening milk"?

Whether it is a natural birth or a caesarean birth, early contact and early sucking should be achieved. It is best to keep the mother and baby in the same room as soon as the baby is born, put the baby on the mother's chest and start sucking. Generally speaking, as soon as the baby is born, the mother will have colostrum supply, but the amount is relatively small, and it is not easy to squeeze out, so it is very valuable.

2. How to judge whether the milk is enough?

If a 0-6 month old baby can wet 5-6 diapers in one day, it means that the baby is full. If not, he should try to increase breast milk.

3. Can I breast feed when I am sick?

Drugs do enter breast milk through blood, but the amount is very small, and generally will not affect the baby, cold 、 have a fever Under such circumstances, breast feeding is allowed. Most of the drugs have been proved to be suitable for pregnant women by tests. If you are not sure, you can let doctors use drugs with less side effects as far as possible.

4. How do women in the workplace adhere to breastfeeding?

Working mothers should make use of the maternity leave to allow their babies to suck frequently, so that milk can be secreted abundantly and breast milk can be stored in advance. It is recommended to buy a breast pump, which can suck at least 3~4 times in the daytime, and make full use of the peak secretion of prolactin at night to let the baby suck.

5. What if the milk output is too small?

The secretion of breast milk has a magical "golden balance" principle. The more babies eat, the more they secrete. We must let them suck more. Breast milk should be "fed on demand". Children should be allowed to eat whenever they want and as long as they want. If there is no breast milk in a short time, you can use the breast milk given by others.

6. When will you be weaned?

The World Health Organization advocates exclusive breastfeeding for 0-6 months, after which complementary foods can be added, and encourages breastfeeding until the age of 2 years. If you are weaned after the age of 1, parents are advised to try every way to ensure that your child's diet is balanced and diverse, form good eating habits, and do not rely on milk powder for nutrition intake.

7. Who needs formula?

If the mother is an infectious disease patient or pathogen carrier (such as STD 、 AIDS And is in the period of infection, or suffers from mental illness, more serious breast disease, as well as breast milk taboos caused by disease medication, etc., which requires artificial feeding with formula milk powder.
