For the first 6 months, only breast milk is sufficient for baby nutrition. Breast milk has benefits for the breastfeeding mother as well as for the baby. The most important factor that increases breast milk is happiness and desire to breastfeed. In addition, breastfeeding with the right technique ensures that the baby gets enough milk. The baby's breastfeeding frequency should be adjusted according to the baby's wishes, not according to an established time schedule. The baby is hungry, he wants to suck and shows signs of hunger. Will we wait 3 hours?, or will we let the baby use the breast as a pacifier because he cries every half hour?
Baby. is he crying?
Does it mean he is hungry? In fact, crying is one of the last signs of hunger. If the baby makes sucking movements with its mouth, sucks its hand or clothes, moves its arms, legs and legs restlessly, and makes short-term crying sounds, these are signs that it is hungry.
NUTRITION ESPECIALLY DURING THE NEWBORN PERIOD (0-29 DAYS). IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THEIR PERIODS ARE NOT LONGER THAN 3 HOURS.
How long should breastfeeding last? When the baby first starts breastfeeding, the milk that comes out is protein-rich milk, which we call foremilk. The milk that comes at the end of breastfeeding is milk rich in fat, which we call hind milk. The baby should receive these two milks at each breastfeeding. Therefore, breastfeeding duration should not be less than 10 minutes. Sometimes, milk production may be slow in mothers and the baby's stay at the breast may be long. However, the baby should not use the breast as a pacifier. Particular care should be taken not to exceed 30 minutes. Leaving the nipple in the mouth for a long time causes nipple cracks.
