Breastfeeding – the most optimal variant of food for the child. Organisms and mothers, and the baby as if are adjusted at each other, allowing the feeding woman to develop enough milk, and to the kid to receive all the most necessary and useful of such food. However breast milk has property to decrease sharply, as well as to arrive. Some factors can serve as the reason for that.
There is a myth that every second woman is not capable of breastfeeding. However doctors are sure: there are no "not dairy" mothers as in the woman the nature put feeding of the kid from the first days of his life.
Lactation – incredibly difficult process connected with many systems in an organism. For example, higher nervous activity of the person directly is responsible for formation of a maternal instinct at the woman. Signals of nervous fibers come to a brain, namely to a hypophysis which is responsible for production of hormones. The main hormone - prolactin, exactly thanks to it a breast finds ability to be filled quickly with milk. But if there is a failure on some of stages, then all process of a lactation both towards increase, and towards reduction can be broken.
Enemies of "the dairy rivers" - fatigue, a depression, nervous breakdowns, stresses. Think only of yourself and the child, you become an egoist at least for a while. There are no such cares and problems which cannot be removed or shifted to shoulders of relatives. The stress and hormone which is responsible for female milk (prolactin) are not connected among themselves in any way, however the nervous tension can affect other hormone, oxytocin forcing milk to follow from a breast considerably. This biological mechanism (so-called "reflex of oxytocin") interferes with effluence of milk at the intense and difficult moments. At primitive mother, with the child on hands running away from danger, inflow of milk sharply stopped. In a quiet state the receipt of milk was resumed. And at modern women at a fright, tension, nervousness and pain milk is blocked and does not follow. If the nursing mother long does not calm down, there is a stagnation, milk fuses, the lactation dies away. Cesarean section, use of anesthetics in labor and medicines for reduction of a uterus after the delivery can be one of the reasons of a lack of milk. But it is not an occasion not to put the child to a breast. Sucking directly stimulates the nervous terminations of skin on a nipple, they also send signals to a hypophysis which will gradually answer with production of hormones, and milk after all will begin to arrive. The wrong technology of applying to a breast can also reduce amount of milk. You watch that the kid took all aura of a nipple that the breast did not press to it a nose that he sucked, having densely clasped with lips. In the first month try to feed the child as often as possible and if he fell asleep at a breast, touch a cheek and wake him. Then the child will gorge on, and milk will begin to be developed in enough. If the woman feels pain from natertost and cracks on nipples - it is not an occasion to stop feeding or to reduce the number of applyings. Healing cream and special silicone nozzles for a breast can save situation. Milk can be gone after a long break in feeding, a serious disease at the woman and also the undergone breast surgeries (to or after the child's birth). Reception of oral contraceptives sometimes too provokes decrease in a lactation. During feeding it is necessary to refrain from the tablets containing estrogenic (men's sexual) hormones and to use the contraceptive means including the minimum quantity only of one women's hormone – progestogen. Or for a while at all to pass to a barrier method of contraception. And, of course, to the nursing mother, as well as her kid, good rest, regular walks on air, healthy food, a dream is necessary. And then with a lactation everything will be as it should be.
