Many feeding mothers face a problem of shortage of milk. In the head there are thoughts at once that nothing will turn out, and it is necessary to finish feeding the child artificial mixes. But you should not despair, the main thing to be adjusted on success and to take measures for stimulation of a lactation.
The stress or physical overfatigue, feeding on hours, the wrong applying of the kid, use of a dummy, a dopaivaniye water or mix, refusal of night feedings, lack of desire to nurse can become the reasons because of which development of milk decreases. Two hormones – prolactin and oxytocin are responsible for development of milk in an organism of the feeding mom. Formation of prolactin directly depends on the frequency of applyings of the child to a breast and duration of sucking. That is, if the woman wants to increase amount of milk, it is necessary to put as often as possible the child to a breast and to give it the chance to suck so much how many he will want. It is important to feed not according to the schedule, and on demand. Besides, prolactin is most of all formed at night, approximately from 3 to 7 o'clock. Therefore night feedings are very important for safe breastfeeding.
Effect of the second hormone – oxytocin, is directed to advance of milk on channels to a nipple. At a stress or physical overfatigue of the nursing mother, oxytocin is developed a little, and milk is not allocated in necessary quantity. Therefore it is so important to woman to take care of comfortable feeding, and her husband and relatives needs to create a quiet situation in the house and to provide young mom with rest and support. Before feeding it is possible to make light massage of a breast and to take a warm shower.
An important role is played by the correct capture of a breast at which the kid widely opens a mouth and takes not only a nipple, but also to an aura - a dark near-mamillar circle, the lower lip is twisted outside, and the chin touches a breast. The correct sucking stimulates sufficient development of milk, provides depletion of all segments of chest gland and does not cause painful feelings to the feeding mom. Use of a dummy can influence formation of the wrong capture and insufficient stimulation of chest gland by the child. It is the best of all if the kid satisfies the sosatelny reflex naturally. At insufficient amount of milk it is possible to have tea from the herbs strengthening a lactation. The marjoram, a nettle, caraway seeds, an anise, fennel belongs to them. The crushed walnuts infused on warm milk, and the carrot juice mixed with low-fat cream or milk raise a lactation. The feeding mom has to eat and use fully not less than two liters of liquid a day. Very important role is played by a psychological spirit for successful breastfeeding. The feeding mom has to believe that she is capable to give to the kid the most valuable and useful food.
