I feed my baby: regimen and diet for mother
The eutrophy in pregnancy allows to provide the optimal process of formation and foetus growth, and also to prepare an organism of the woman for the future lactation.
Daily ration of the pregnant and nursing woman the squirrel, nearby 100 g fats, 400-500 g the carbohydrate should contain 100-130 g, necessary quantity of mineral salts, especially calcium, phosphorus, and also vitamins. Optimum consumption of a liquid by the feeding woman makes about 2 l a day, and a sufficient emiction testify to the adequate maintenance of a liquid drunk within days. Superfluous consumption of milk or milk food (more than 1/2 l a day) can cause a sensibilization of an organism of the child to cow milk fiber!
A high-grade food of feeding mother is provided with the daily use in nutrition 180-200 g meat, 50 g oils, 1 eggs, 800 g vegetables and fruit, 400 – 500 g breads. It is especially important not to forget about including in a ration of fruit, vegetables, fresh greengrocery, berries, vegetable and fruit juices, and also about observance of a diet within day.
A rational high-grade food necessarily should be combined with a correct regimen that in many respects provides a sufficient lactation. For feeding mother the quiet comfortable situation should be created. A dream not less than 8 – 9 hours a day, high-grade rest, walks on fresh air, the minimum physical work.
Smoking and the alcohol use are absolutely inadmissible!
Separate conversation is deserved by medicinal preparations which are accepted sometimes by feeding mother. Some of them, for example arsenic, barbiturates, Bromidums, Iodidums, copper, mercury, Salicylic, a number of antimicrobials (Sulfanilamide’s, Levomycetinum, metronidazole), antithyroid preparations, antitumor agents, can be transferred with milk and influence an organism of the child. Therefore feeding mother whenever possible should stop reception of these medicines, and at impossibility of cancellation of treatment, temporarily passes to artificial feeding not stopping milk decanting not to break lactation. Upon termination of treatment it is necessary to continue thoracal feeding again.
It is necessary to notice, that the hypogalactition (lactation depression) quite often develops at the women who are in standard conditions of a life. Two forms of a hypogalactition – primary and secondary distinguish.
The primary hypogalactition arises against the general infantilism of mother more often and badly gives in to treatment (in larger degree it is caused by features of the constitution of an organism). In such cases it is necessary to prescribe in due time to the child additional feeding. The secondary hypogalactition comes at disturbance of the process of thoracal feeding when for some reasons does not occur sufficient опорожнения thoracal glands more often and process depression of development of milk begins.
One of problems during the first period of lactation is the hyper sensibility of nipples. Besides, at wrong position of the child the chest can have morbidity at suction, and in some cases and nipple cracks. Therefore, at feeding it is necessary not only to put correctly the child to a chest, but also periodically to change position of the child, to change force of pressure of suction to different sites of a papilla.
Other reason is the insufficient suction in which result the hungry child at the feeding beginning sucks more zealously and, probably, incorrectly, and then, not having received necessary volume of feeding, stops a suction. In this case it is better not to limit duration of feeding, putting the child to a chest not once. Is admissible to feed the child more often, preventing thereby both excessively intense suction, and stagnation of milk in a chest. The optimal option – to spend after each feeding check-weighing, defining volume of the eaten milk.
If feeding mother did not have any complications, she should look after a lactiferous gland correctly:
- Avoid excessive washing of a chest, especially with soap as the natural greasing protecting a skin of nipples thus leaves.
- Do not use creams and aerosols, boric acid solution as they can cause development of an allergic dermatitis.
- After feedings to leave some drops of milk on a dummy that they have dried up on air.
- Nipples always should be dry.
At occurrence the child of the thrush, can have a becoming infected of nipples at mother, there will be their morbidity.
In this case it is necessary to spend treatment, both the child, and mothers. Quite often there is a psychosomatic morbidity of nipples when mother feels anxiety and uncertainty in ability to nurse the child (especially for women giving child birth for the first time), especially if she feed the child in open chamber or in the presence of other persons.
To struggle against a secondary hypogalactition except regimen and food normalization apply an irradiation of lactiferous glands a mercury-quartz lamp, UHF, stimulation by ultrasound.
Prescribe reception of vitamins A, Е, nicotinic and glutamine acids, a hydrolysate of dry beer yeast. Together with it there are also contraindications for feeding of the child by maternal milk.
Absolute contraindications to thoracal feeding from mother are:
- Septic states
- The-active form of a tuberculosis
- Typhoid and malaria
- Malignant neoplasm, leukemia
- The-diseases of kidneys accompanied by renal insufficiency with an azotemia
- Postnatal psychoses, serious forms of neurosis
- Reception by mother in a lactation of the medicinal preparations possessing toxic influence on the newborn.
Relative contraindications to thoracal feeding are:
- Diseases of heart with a circulatory inefficiency
- The expressed forms of a hyperthyroidism
- Chronic nutrient deficiency
- Purulent mastitis.
From the child – congenital lactation insufficiency. Individual selection of milk mixes is thus necessary for feeding of the newborn.
