Today is the national breastfeeding awareness day. With the spread of breastfeeding knowledge in recent years, mothers in foshan have increasingly opted for breastfeeding. Statistics from municipal maternal and child health centres show that 93% - 94% of mothers opt for breastfeeding during hospitalization, and an increasing number of exclusive breastfeeding mothers within six months。
"the milk is going to suck more and more. If you think you can't drink without milk or less, then you'll get less milk.” liu kim feng, chief of the health education section of the maternal and child health hospital in foshan city, stated that exclusive breastfeeding and continued breastfeeding for a period of six months to the age of 2. After six months, supplementary food is added, but milk is still the main source. Mother is not worried that the baby is not fully fed, that the breast milk contains a lot of moisture, so the baby's urine shows whether the baby is fully fed. If the baby's urine tastes clean, light colours and weight gain of 125 g per week, it means that the baby has enough milk. Some mothers breast-feed the baby on a regular basis, but liu kim feng indicated that the baby could eat as long as it was hungry, not at the required time。
As a result of increased awareness among mothers, more and more mothers on maternity leave choose to continue breastfeeding. "many new mothers can hold out for six to eight months, some can hold out longer." mckinley says。
Snow's son is 1 year and 10 months old, but she continues to breastfeed. “although milk is now scarce, i'll let him eat if he wants it.” before the birth, yuki and her husband had reached a consensus that the son would naturally be weaned. And yuki thinks it's also one of her closest channels of communication with her son。
Snow is more fortunate, as the place of work is close to home and it is possible to go home at noon to nurse the son. Many mothers, however, had to go to work every day with milk milk and milk storage to keep breastfeeding。
Liu kim feng says that milk is good and bad and that rest is related to mental factors, so if mother is resting well, is mentally well, is in a good mood and is of good quality. Many mothers of the “back-milk” are now afraid to drill under the table because they have no place to milk, which could affect the quality of milk。
Mckinlin also reminds mothers of the need to be careful about the sterilisation of milk bottles and nipples and to avoid contamination of their milk. If the disinfection is done well, the milk can be kept in the fridge at 4°c for a week. "fooshan daily news"
