Feeding by a breast is very important point in life of mom and child. It allows the kid to receive the balanced composition of all useful substances. But that the volume of milk filled daily need of the baby, the lactation needs to be stimulated and for this purpose regularly to decant a breast.
Decantation of a breast is a necessary condition for a normal lactation. It allows to prevent decrease in development of milk and its stagnation because of which inflammation of channels of a mammary gland - mastitis can develop. This disease does not leave to mom of any opportunity to continue feeding by a breast and forces to transfer the kid to artificial feeding. And in certain cases mastitis poses serious health hazard and the woman. In the first days after the birth the kid eats much less milk, than develop mammary glands. And after feeding its most part remains in a breast. Therefore for prevention of its stagnation and decrease in a lactation in the first months it is necessary to decant often a breast and until reflex development of milk (certain quantity which the kid will be able to eat) begins. At insufficient development of milk, frequent decantation of a breast (after and between feedings) helps to increase its quantity considerably. At the same time it is necessary to consider also other factors influencing a lactation. This good nutrition, psychoemotional and physical condition of mom, stay in the fresh air and sufficient dream. Quite often from the first days of life the kid refuses a breast. But at a good lactation it is expedient to decant a breast and to feed the kid from a small bottle. The same conditions need to be met if the kid at the birth had an intra cranial brain trauma, in case of which feeding by a breast contraindicated. Also it is connected with big loading when sucking. That development of milk happened equally in both breasts it is necessary to alternate them when feeding the child and also to empty equally after it. If nevertheless in one of them there were nodular consolidations (arise at stagnation of milk), for prevention of inflammation it is necessary to decant carefully and long milk and at the same time to do the stroking movements by palms from axillary hollows up to a breast to a nipple.
