All female mammal individuals by the nature were granted wonderful process - a lactation, that is development of milk for feeding of the posterity. And this food is considered for kids of the best, balanced, nutritious, useful and tasty.
Instruction
1. A lactation (Latin lacto — the content of milk, feeding by milk) - process of education, accumulation and periodic removal of milk at the person and mammals. This process begins in an organism after the delivery, and during all pregnancy in mammary glands there are processes preparing them for development of milk.
2. The successful lactation depends on many factors. Main of them - the level of content of the necessary hormones in blood. These hormones - prolactin, oxytocin and the placentary lactogen. The placentary lactogene is actively developed in an organism at late stages of pregnancy, preparing mammary glands for a lactation. However soon after the delivery this hormone disappears from mother's blood. Prolactin is responsible for process of development of milk. Thanks to it, milk collects in alveoluses, and then moves ahead on tubules, lacteal channels and lacteal sine. It regulates too strong or weak lactation. Oxytocin is engaged in allocation of milk from a mammary gland.
3. Proteins of milk are synthesized from amino acids, fats from neutral fatty acids of blood and free fat, milk sugar - lactose - from glucose. Therefore the nutrition of the nursing mother has to be good and balanced. Young mom has to receive daily with food 110-130 g of protein, 100-130 g of fat, 400-450 g of carbohydrates. Besides, it is necessary to drink not less than 1.5-2 liters of liquid a day.
4. Normal at the person the period of a lactation can proceed from 5 to 24 months though it is quite often possible to meet mothers who nurse children up to 3-4 years. The amount of milk can reach from 600 to 1300 ml a day. In the first day from a breast not milk, and colostrum is allocated. For 2-3 days it is succeeded by milk, however, its quantity very few - 10-30 ml a day. Sharp inflow of milk happens more often for 3-5 day. Often this process is followed by a nagrubaniye of mammary glands, pain and sometimes temperature increase of a body. The maximum quantity of milk is developed for 6-12 day after the delivery, and then process of development of milk stabilizes and in mammary glands so much milk how many it is necessary for the kid is formed. If the woman for any reason does not nurse the child, then process of a lactation stops in 1-2 weeks.
5. The structure and appearance of milk changes during the different periods. Colostrum differs in white color and special fat content and nutritiousness does not possess yet, the newborn of it has still enough. The transitional milk allocated in the first 2 weeks of a yellowish shade, and mature milk - white with a bluish shade. Many mothers are frightened this color and begin to think that their milk insufficiently fat. On the contrary, everything is normal, mature milk is protein-rich, fats and carbohydrates. Over time the players of milk continue to be changed according to age needs of the child.
6. Also lactation deviations meet. Gipogalaktiya - decrease in a lactation. It can be caused by both hormonal problems, and fatigue, bad food of mother. It is rather everything, the reason - so-called laktatsionny crisis - temporary decrease in amount of milk. You do not hurry to finish feeding the child mix. Put him to a breast simply more often, drink more liquid, you can drink also special grass collecting for improvement of a lactation. And then the amount of the developed milk will return to normal. Galaktorey - the spontaneous expiration of milk from a mammary gland. The reason - weakness of muscle fibers around a nipple. This phenomenon meets at women with the increased nervous excitability. In this case it is worth seeing a doctor.
