One of the reasons the death of the baby after birth is that babies are not breastfed soon after birth. Apparently, if the baby can breastfeed the first 1 hour can save 22% infants, and when feeding on the first day will save 16% infants. Thus, infant mortality increased significantly each start feeding suspended.

Why Skin Contact and Early Initiation is very Important?

Breast warmth could warm the baby, so if the baby placed in her mother's chest immediately after birth can reduce the risk of hypothermia and reduce deaths from cold.

Vibration of love, if you are embraced by your husband will feel calm, feel protected and psychologically strong. As well as infants, while infants placed in the mother's chest, the baby will be more calm and reduce stress, the breathing and heartbeat were more stable.

Babies first bacterial contamination from the mother is NOT DANGEROUS or anti virus from the mother's milk. So that the bacteria either create a colony in USU and the baby's skin and can compete with the more virulent bacteria in the external environment.

No one doubts colostrum, the fluid is rich in gold and at an important antibody for intestinal growth and resistance to infection desperately needed a baby for survival. When the baby can breastfeed immediately after birth, then he will get colostrum, and other formulas irreplaceable. The fact that there are some mothers who gave formula milk after birth, this will replace the liquid gold that is needed baby.

Early feeding other than breast milk (dairy animals) that contains no human milk proteins can be very disturbing growth of intestinal function.

Infants given early breastfeeding will have the opportunity to be more successful and sustain exclusive breast feeding on the delay of early feeding.

Then, touch, suck and lick the baby on the nipple Oxytocin stimulates the mother is important to:

• Causes uterine contractions that help spending placenta and reduce bleeding.
• Stimulates other hormones, which makes the mother to be calm, relaxed and loving baby.
• Stimulate drainage from the breast milk.

Mom and dad will be very happy to meet with her baby the first time like this.

1. Early initiation is needed from the mother's patience, and confidence high, and requires strong support from her husband and family, so it will help the mother if the early initiation of breastfeeding with her husband or family.
2. Chemical drugs, such as: massage, aroma therapy, moving, hypnobirthing and others try to avoid.
3. Mother who gave birth to determine the position, because he is going through it.
4. After the baby is born, the baby dry as quickly as possible without eliminating the inconveniences vernix baby's skin.
5. Lay the baby in the mother's chest or abdomen with the mother skin to skin contact, both covered and if possible and considered to give the baby hat.
6. Let your baby find his own mother's nipple. You can stimulate the baby's with a soft touch by not forcing her baby to the nipple.
7. Support and help mothers to recognize signs or behavior of the baby before feeding (pre-feeding) that may take several minutes or an hour or more, including:

• Just a break in a state of alert, adjust to the environment.
• Includes hand to mouth, sucking motion, or sound.
• Move toward the breast.
• Areola area is usually the target.
• Touching the nipple with his hand.
• Find the nipple, nipple search reflexes (rooting) attached to the mouth wide open.
• Let the baby in the position of skin to skin contact until the first feeding process is complete.

8. For mothers who gave birth to the act, such as cesarean, giving skin a chance to skin contact.
9. New baby is separated from the mother to be weighed, measured, labeled; AFTER INITIAL feeding. Postpone invasive procedures such as vitamin K injections and drip baby's eyes.
10. Join with the nurse, the mother would be easy to respond to the baby. If the baby is separated from his mother what happened and then the mother can not respond to their babies quickly, so have the potential to be given formula milk, so it would be helpful if the baby but with her mother for 24 hours. And always avoid food or drink pre-lactal.

A mother is required to give exclusive breastfeeding to the baby. Not only because breastfeeding is nature as a woman and mother, but also because milk is very important for the growth, health, and infant development. If the pain arises, set the position of the baby.

Breast milk is the best baby food, especially in infants younger than six months. Breast milk contains all the nutrients and fluids needed to meet all the nutrition a baby in the first six months of life. No carbohydrates in breast milk, vitamins, minerals, fat, long bonds, proteins, and substances or liquids to live like human growth hormone, enzyme absorption, as well as antibodies. For this reason, a mother is required to always give milk.

WHO recommended, exclusive breastfeeding (really just milk with no water or anything else) for 6 months. After that, start to have food and continued breastfeeding up to 2 years more.

Factor Causes

The problem often arises in the breast pain during breastfeeding. Perhaps because of this pain also the many women who refuse to breastfeed their babies as often as possible. Some even choose to dot. The question is, why can arise pain? There are two reasons why the pain often occur during breastfeeding, the baby's position is wrong attach and position the baby is not correct at the time of breastfeeding.

First, the position to attach a nursing baby. Signs of the correct placement, first, the position of most of the areola or breast prop (black area of the nipple) and breast tissue located underneath the baby's mouth. At least not at the bottom of the mouth more than the top.

Second, the baby's lips should be wide enough. When viewed from the side, mouth open more than 90 degrees. Third, the baby's mouth is open wide enough. Fourth, stick the baby's chin or attached to the breast. And fifth, the baby's cheeks look sunken because the baby is not feeding at the breast and not on the nipple.

In addition to sticking position that is not true, the pain arises also because the baby's position is not correct at the time of breastfeeding. Keep in mind, a good position during feeding became standard. First, the position of the head, ears, body, and the baby's arms should be straight and allow the baby to nurse longer. Baby's face from the direction of the breast facing down and his nose against the nipple. Principally, chin to the breast, chest to chest.

Furthermore, the baby's body close to the mother. Baby's body should be fully supported, if the newborn. The position of the head did not fit in the elbow, but in the mid-arm. The position of the mother holding the baby with the position long enough, and properly so that the baby is not sore and adhesions that had to be not true.

Once again, the correct position of the baby is from the bottom, then the baby's nose opposite the nipple. Baby's chin is the first part attached to the breast as a meeting point. After that, the nipple is directed upward, ie toward the ceiling until the baby with the nipple in an area no bones, between the pharynx and the soft base of the tongue. Only a third nipple or a quarter of the "dot length" which is formed from the breast tissue.

Pain Reduction

There are several ways to reduce breast pain. The first way is to keep breastfeeding, even painful. If the pain was disturbing, first squeeze the milk from the affected breast. Don't let breast swelling and inflammation eventually because there is no milk issued. So, should regularly emptied.

If the later occurs in the breast lightly scuffed, it's okay. Breast milk itself may accelerate healing. How? take out a little and spread to around the nipple. Or it could also compress the breast.

If there is more severe cases, it is necessary to lactation consultation. For example, in cases such as the anatomy of the baby's mouth with his tongue stuck out with form the heart because the end could not get out. These conditions and cause blisters. Cases like this require consulting assistance.

Many mothers who feel worried to continue breastfeeding her first child while pregnant with the second. Can pregnant women still breast-feeding her child?

This caused concern because of fear of causing early contractions or a nursing child kicked the pregnant mother is. Sometimes so many mothers who tried to wean her daughter who nurse while pregnant again.

The most makes mom worry is the occurrence of contractions while nursing her child. This contraction occurs because the nipple stimulation releases the hormone oxytocin into the bloodstream. Oxytocin is important when breastfeeding because a chemical that tells the network serving the mother's milk for the contract. In addition, the hormone oxytocin is also notify the network associated with the uterus to contract during breastfeeding.

Research conducted by Sherrill Moscona in 1993 to 57 nursing mothers during pregnancy in California, concluded that breastfeeding does not lead to obvious consequences for pregnant women.

Although not known with certainty what the impact caused when pregnant mothers continue breastfeeding, mothers should stop breastfeeding her child if you have some signs of following, as quoted from the Pregnancy:

1. Contraction experienced more than 4 times in one hour.
2. Feeling the pressure of the pelvic bone.
3. Experience such as menstrual cramps.
4. Increased discharge from the vagina as mucus, blood or water.
5. Pain in the lower spine.

Thing to consider is the need for mothers to rest should be adequate, considering the weight gained during pregnancy and overall sense of well-being. This was done to determine whether breastfeeding can be painful or agitating the pregnant mother, thus leading some mothers to wean the child is breast-feeding.

It is important to note is that milk production is declining since entered middle age pregnancy. But the key to understanding whether breastfeeding is safe during pregnancy from the uterus and oxytocin receptor itself. Because uterine cells can detect the presence of oxytocin which causes contractions.

Besides good for the intelligence of children, breastfeeding can also reduce the risk of breast cancer for the mother. Breastfeeding mothers can reduce the risk breast cancer by 10-15 percent.

"Fertilizer" cancer is a hormone estrogen in the body. When during pregnancy and lactation, appear hormone progesterone. The hormone is then increased and did protection, so that the hormone estrogen is no longer dominant.

If the mother breast-feeding after birth, there is a period of 27 months for the mother in which the hormone estrogen is not dominant in the body. That in that period, the risk of maternal breast cancer decreased.

Although fertilizer cancer from the hormone estrogen, does not mean that the men escaped from the risk of breast cancer. In the body there is also the hormone estrogen, although levels are not as many as are contained in the body of a woman.

The man also had a glandular breasts, just not growing like a woman. The risk of male breast cancer is 1 per cent. The symptoms that occur in men who had cancer was similar to women, such as the emergence of a lump in the breast and discharge from the nipple.

Generally symptoms of breast cancer in men is more easily recognizable than women. If there was a lump in the breast men will be more easy visible, because their breasts did not develop like women.

FAILURE breastfeeding is often caused due to incorrect positioning and puts the baby. Nipple blisters that become reluctant mothers to breast-feed, reduced milk production and feeding the baby became lazy.

Step right to breastfeed:

1. Wash hands with clean water flowing.
2. Dairy milk and apply a little to the nipple and surrounding areola. The benefit is as a disinfectant and keep the humidity nipple.
3. Mother sitting with relaxed, feet should not be hanged.
4. Position your baby with care:
• The baby is held with one arm. The baby's head is placed near the arch of the mother's elbow, hold baby's bottom with the mother's palm.
• Baby-belly against the mother's body.
• Baby's mouth in front of the mom's nipple.
• Arm of the baby under the mom's arm, do not be in the body of the mother and baby. Hand over the mother may be held or placed on the mother's chest.
• Ear and arm above are in a straight line.


5. Baby's lips with the nipple is stimulated and will open wide, then quickly to the baby's head is brought near the breast and nipple and areola is inserted into the baby's mouth.
6. Check whether the attachment is correct:


• Chin against the breast.
• Mouth wide open.
• Most of the areola, especially those on the bottom, into the baby's mouth.
• Baby's lips folded-out.
• Cheeks baby should not be sunken (it does not suck, but the red milk).
• No sound clicking sound, the sound can only swallow.
• Mother is not in pain.
• Baby calm.
• If the position and attachment are correct, it is expected that milk production remains heavily.
7. Infants fed milk alternately from the left, then to the right until the baby feel full.
8. How to release the nipple from the baby's mouth, by pressing the baby's chin toward the bottom or by entering the mother's finger between the baby's mouth and breast.
9. When finished feeding, the baby's mouth and cleaned the baby's cheeks with cotton wool soaked in warm water.
10. Before you put to sleep, babies should burp exploited first so that air can escape.


11. If both breast milk still remains, remove the milk pump.

WHO would have thought a smaller brain tissue or known as cerebral atrophy can happen to a newborn baby. And all anamnesis as a history of pregnancy, childbirth and prenatal tests showed good results, meaning not find a significant phenomenon. But why the baby is born can be affected by the disease? What went wrong? Why does this happen?

Cerebral atrophy is a disease that makes many parents feel half his life flying to find his little angel in a positive verdict affected cerebral atrophy. How not, fancy seeing and raising healthy babies grow, funny, and clever little torn.

"Is my child be independent one day?" be a very scary question in the days following Moms.

What is Cerebral atrophy?

Cerebral is brain tissue, while atrophy is a reduction. Yes, reduction of brain tissue, so a common explanation.

What happens when the brain tissue was experiencing shrinkage? Is that so affect brain function? Is Cerebral atrophy patients can live a normal life?

Cerebral atrophy was going to affect the patients brain fungi. Whether it's brain tissue that serves as a motor, sensory, and intellectual. But remember, if only one of the affected brain tissue, the patient was exposed to Cerebral Palsy, cerebral atrophy is not due to be permanent.

Early Pregnancy Childbirth Up
Many causes that can trigger cerebral atrophy occurs, some of which are:

- During the period of pregnancy

Being active smokers, drugs, and also the lack of nutrients consumed by the nutrient content of Moms at 0-3 months of age. In fact, frequent vomiting in pregnant women can lead to the Cerebral atrophy little affected.

- The process of childbirth

Something went wrong during the birth process, ie one that makes child labor so that the lack of oxygen trapped.

- Prenatal

Babies born not breathing properly, did not immediately respond to cry, and the change in the baby blue color.

Brain Tissue Infections

So what if three of the above does not occur, whether the child will be free from the risk of cerebral atrophy? Unfortunately not, the disease could still affect anyone, young age of 17 years, three-year-old child, even a day old infant.

That could happen if your child suffered an infection in the brain that affects all brain functions, both motor, sensory and intellectual, from a certain disease, such as high fever cause brain damage.

Recognize the symptoms as early as possible
To avoid Cerebral atrophy, need attention and sensitivity Moms in to see your baby growing up so that all things can be anticipated. What sort of things to watch out for?

- Note Always Pregnancy Health Record

Do not underestimate Pregnancy Health Record. Note the good of all sizes with the standard little growth. Be sensitive to changes in your baby. Know well the development of a baby growing up. Note the little weight, especially the size of the baby's head circumference.

- Always Check the Brain Tissue Function Development Babies

Consider the development of cognition. To this needs full attention, because it can be seen when the child enters the age of 6 months. Where Moms really have to be sensitive to the development of cognition. Such as whether your child can respond to calls or small questions from Moms.

- If found symptoms, immediately to the Doctor

Do not fear being branded a nag. Ask your doctor if you are not yet well aware of the growth phase of small, especially when he looks more slowly than babies of his age. Do not shy, ask the doctor as kids who ask the parents, "At the age of my baby, what should have been able to?"

Breast milk and Physiotherapy
So far, to alleviate suffering interference physiotherapy Cerebral atrophy is a nutritious and full of nutrients. But how to baby Cerebral atrophy? Yeah same! For that breast milk is highly necessary to optimize the brain that is still good.

Remember, the golden boy until 3 years. So long, Moms need to 'hard try' always give nutrition for your baby, through the consumption of nutrients Moms. Do not ever stop! While breastfeeding, Moms can provide therapy for your child. No heavy effort, attention and affection Moms is already part of the therapy.

Therapy was given according to which part of the brain affected by cerebral atrophy. Such as motoring part, the frequent practice gross motor skills and fine motor baby gradually.

Put all the attention Moms. Because the baby will be able to develop later must not as fast as a normal baby in general. And remember, people with cerebral atrophy, could later own!

Independent? Yes, why not? Cerebral atrophy is not the end of everything.

If indeed the patient has no longer operate a maximum of a function for the whole body, Moms can optimize other parts as a substitute for the organ function is not functioning. For that, do not give up Moms! Be strong for your child to be stronger too!

PREGNANCY and childbirth is the greatest gift for a woman. Then, the predicate as a mother to be complete when he managed to breastfeed your baby.

Breastfeeding is a psychosocial activity can bring its own happiness, especially for new mothers to have their first child. Breastfeeding is the nature of a mother. In fact, if possible, ideally immediately breastfed infants soon after birth. Once there was the shrill cry baby started his presence on earth, the umbilical cord is cut, the baby was placed on the mother's abdomen in order to feel emotional closeness. The baby was soon to find mother's nipple and started to suck.

The failure of an exclusive maternal breastfeeding was largely due to preventable thing. The lack of support only, both from the next of kin or health workers themselves.

When breastfeeding, a mother needed peace of mind and should be far from feeling stressed (stress) because it will influence the productivity and comfort baby milk during feeding. The quantity of milk is also dependent suckling can stimulate the hormone prolactin to produce the next milk.

Maybe that's why when the mother began nursing less milk production is also diminished. In fact, according to the confession of some women, there is his mother's milk does not come out at all (dry).

Technically, the factors causing reduced milk production, partly because after the baby is born and not directly fed breast milk are not milked. And if the breasts remain full, it will be formed PIF (Prolacting inhibiting factor), ie substances that stop the formation of breast milk. While psychologically, breast reduction may be caused worry, stress, pain, and felt a sense of doubt that the mother.

Sometimes women feel insecure because of her lack of milk. In addition, opinions and suggestions that any of the others quickly led to the mother changed her mind and become stressed. The result can suppress reflexes so breastfeeding produce not well.

Attachments are not right between the mouth and the mother's nipple can cause pain and nipple into blisters that milk does not come out smoothly. The good attachment is attached to the baby's chin breast, mouth wide open with the lower lip down and distorted most of the areola (the nipple) into the mother the baby's mouth. To increase the amount of milk, try to think lovingly on the baby.

Breastfed babies, although in a short period, likely times lower third died when sleep when compared with infants who had never breast-fed at all. Thus the results of research released the Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths, UK.

And sudden death in infants is not clear top position in the list of causes of infant mortality up to one year of age. Research was to investigate the relationship between breastfeeding (breast milk) and infant death when sleeping in developed countries.

Metaanalysis study included results from 27 different studies . Research is increasingly emphasized the benefits of breastfeeding in infants. According to Natasha Larmie, a mother and doctor, breastfeeding mothers are more sensitive to the needs and the baby's sleep patterns.

Experts said, nursing the baby though only a few days is better than none at all. World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that infants be exclusively breastfed for at least six months.

BREASTFEEDING is not only good for the health and nutritional adequacy but also protects the baby from the mother's diabetes later in life. A recent study published in the journal Diabetes mention, breastfeeding for a month can reduce the risk of prediabetes by half. Prediabetes is a condition that can lead to diabetes and heart disease.

The study, which lasted for 20 years was found, the mothers who breastfeed have glucose levels and blood fats that are healthier than those who breast-feeding a baby with a bottle.

In this study, the researchers involved 704 women who were waiting for the birth of first child. The researchers see the development of metabolic syndrome (prediabetes condition) for 20 years after their birth.

The study shows, breastfeeding can reduce the risk of diabetes between 39 and 56 percent depending on the length of breastfeeding. Women who experience gestational diabetes (high blood glucose has during pregnancy), and even received greater protection in the next age, with reduced risk of diabetes between 44 and 86 per cent.

"It is not clear how breastfeeding reduces the risk of diabetes," said Dr. Erica Gunderson of Kaiser Permanente care organization in California, was quoted as saying dailymail site. According to him, this effect was not caused by differences in weight gain, physical activity or healthy lifestyles.

Women generally chose breastfeeding because breast milk good for health and endurance of their baby. However, recent studies show that breastfeeding infants is not only profitable but also good for heart health of the mother to the front.

In a study involving 300 women, researchers found that those who do not breastfeed at greater risk of experiencing Calcification or accumulation of plaque in coronary arteries, aorta and carotid arteries. Lime and the accumulated plaque in the arteries reduces the blood flow and can trigger subsequent heart attacks and strokes.

"Women who do not breastfeed at greater risk of experiencing a change that could trigger symptoms of heart disease," said study author Dr. Eleanor Schwarz of the University of Pittsburgh Center for Research on Health Care.

Excess fat
In a study published in Obstetrics and Gynecology, researchers involved participants who already have at least 1 baby. When the study began, participants aged 45-58 and have never diagnose has particularly heart disease and no symptoms of heart disease.

To see the health of the participants' blood vessels, the researchers used electron beam tomography and ultrasound. They found that 32 percent of women who do not breastfeed experience Calcification of coronary arteries, this number is greater than the breast-feeding women (17 percent).

Researchers also found Calcification of the aorta in 39 percent of women who are not breastfeeding, and 17 percent in women who are breastfeeding. The formation of deposits in the carotid arteries of women who are not breastfeed also more (18 percent) than women who breastfeed (10 percent).

After adjusting the data socioeconomic status, family history, lifestyle factors, risk factors for heart disease and weight, researchers concluded that women who breastfeed do not risk 5 times greater experience than their aortic Calcification of consistent breastfeeding.

This is, according to Schwarz, related to the way women's bodies store fat and how to release or not release it after pregnancy.

"The women body should undergo pregnancy and lactation," explains Schwarz. "During pregnancy, women's bodies store fat which should be released during breastfeeding. If women do not breastfeed, then the body must deal with excess fat."

In essence, continued Schwarz, is essential for breastfeeding. "If you can breastfeed for 3 months after pregnancy, your blood vessels will be better.

BREASTFEEDING is an important aspect after birth. At this time, mother and child are believed to form a strong bond. In addition, nutrients from breast milk is much better than industrial products. Breastfeeding helps babies grow healthier immune system stronger. You are advised to give exclusive breastfeeding for at least 6 months.

At the time of breastfeeding, there are some things that need your attention, including food intake and avoid drugs that can affect the baby directly. In addition, factors that are not less important is the position. You need to choose a nursing position that makes you and your baby comfortable.

Choose a position that makes your baby attaches to your breast easily. Here are 4 feeding position where you can choose as your favorite breastfeeding.

Cradle Position: In this position, you need to put the baby's head in the crook of your hand. Support your back and your baby's bottom with your arms and hands, and make your baby is facing sideways, facing you. Your breasts should be in front of your baby's face.

Lying Down Position: In this position, you need to lie down facing the side with the baby facing you. Prop yourself with shoulders and head with extra pillows as support. This position will make you feel comfortable and is suitable for you who are recovering from the Cesarean operation.

Football Position: In this position, you need to put the baby under the arms, with the baby's head in your hands. Support the baby's body with your forearm, and let your baby stuck to your breast. This position is often recommended if you've just Cesarean surgery.

On Your Lap: In addition to the above three positions, you can also cradles the baby in your lap and use the other hand to guide your baby to your breast feeding.

If you are lucky with twins, you can choose football position or lap position, according to your convenience.

Incessant advertising of formula milk is suspected to weaken further the determination of the mother to continue to give milk. In fact, breast milk should be given until the baby is two years old.

Although the formula is made with components as closely as possible with the mother's milk , milk remains irreplaceable. During the first six months of baby's life, breast milk meets 100 percent of the babies.

Component in breast milk is very specific, prepared to meet the needs and development of infants. Breast milk provides immunity for babies because it already contained anti-viral and anti cancer. The baby was also not easy to infection. That is why infant mortality is lower breastfed.

Meanwhile, for babies aged 6 months upwards, breast milk still meet 70 percent of infants. 30 percent in the can from other foods, but not the formula. This is because at the age of 6 months babies are introduced to solid foods, baby food because it must contain nutrients and nutrients needed.

The new cow's milk may be given when the baby turns two years old. At this age baby's intestines are good and have strong immune system. Two-year-old child should have trained their independence by not feeding anymore.

Breastfeeding up to two-year-old baby is in line with international ethical codes and recommendations of the world health body (WHO). In 1981 the WHO and Unicef regulate the marketing of infant formula milk substitute marketing code and alot some of develop country so far has not ratified the code. Ads milk and baby food are heavily misleading mothers.

Breast milk intake is very important for children because the contents in it is very useful for the brain and the body such as lactose, protein, fat, iron, and vitamins.

Although the formula is also found these contents, there are differences in the number and quality of these substances such as lactose and protein. Lactose found in breast milk more than the lactose found in milk formula.

The protein contained in milk is more easily digested than the baby's digestive formula. Therefore the child will feel hungry more often, the result is more often a baby will cry.

Unfortunately, parents prefer that their children do not often cry. But it can be caused by drinking milk formula that is more difficult to digest by the digestion.

Lactose itself is important for your child's brain as he works to connect the fibers of the brain that will ultimately determine the development of the child's brain. Sometime lactose cause diarrhea in children, but this is normal as long as kids keep weight up.

Many mothers find milk formula with the highest DHA content. Actually the best DHA was in the milk because it is accompanied by a functioning enzyme lipase to digest the DHA. Whereas in formula milk DHA contents have only just make it more difficult to digest.

Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended to be given to the first 6 months of birth due since baby meet 100 percent of the babies. Within 6-12 months, breast milk meets only 60-70 percent of the needs that have complementary feeding. In the 12 months, breast milk is only 30 percent meet the needs, but still must be given to the baby.

Maybe you're worried about breastfeeding because of being sick and afraid to pass on the child. Relax, this assumption is not correct. Conversely, the benefits of breastfeeding when you are sick, actually provides passive immunity for your child.

There are only two things that do not allow mothers to breastfeed, that is when the mother was in chemotherapy and HIV. If the mother sick, white blood cells protect the body in charge will spread throughout the body and the body of her baby through breast milk.

HOW to flushed milk by hand was not as easy as one might imagine. In this case, the hands must be faster than the eye, so many Moms feel it is very difficult.

Indeed, it looks like mother's milk can be milked easily without any technique. But one thing that often forgotten is improper technique will destroy the fat tissue of the breast, making the breast into blisters. Even the breast skin can be bruised or reddened. Well, what are things that obliged to know about the intricacies of breast milk?

Marmet Technique

The solution to this problem is the Marmet technique, a method of massage and stimulate the milk ejection reflex to be optimal. The key to success of this technique is a combination of flushed breast milk and how to massage. If carried out effectively and accurately, then it should not be a problem in the production of milk or how to get the milk.

This technique can easily be studied according to instructions. Of course, the more often Moms train was flushed with Marmet technique, then the Moms increasingly accustomed to and will not be encountering many obstacles.

Preparation Expressing breast milk

• Use clean containers at least, might be made of plastic or metal materials (because of the milk fat can be attached to the side of the glass container). In fact babies need the fat content of breast milk to nourish its growth.

• Try to relax and not tense when flushed. If by calling your husband and hear his support could make you more calm, do it! Breast milk will be easier out if the feeling (emotion) Moms in good condition and stable. Relaxed conditions that will help release the hormone oxytocine, which affect smooth milk expenditures. Conversely, if the mind Moms worry about other problems, can complicate the release of breast milk.

Steps of Expressing breast milk

1. First, place your thumb and two fingers (index and middle fingers) of approximately 1 cm to 1.5 cm from the areola. Try to follow these rules as a guide, given the size of the areola on each woman varies.

3. Avoid positioning a finger at 12 hours and 4 hours around the areola. Massage gently from the base of the breast toward the nipple to stimulate the oxytocin reflex (let down reflex). Nipple stimulation with your thumb and your index finger. Use warm water compresses or bathe with warm water to help the milk come out easier.
4. Put your thumb on the outside of the areola (the clock 12) and forefinger and other fingers on the bottom of the areola (the clock 6) or a form letter C.
5. Press your fingers back toward your chest and flush and press your breast between your fingers, and pull, push towards the nipple like a baby sucking on the following movements. Repeat this over and over again.
6. When milk flow is slow, move your finger around the areola with a moving scene, and then began to blush again until the milk is stored becomes empty. Rotate the thumb and other fingers to point other milk barn. Similarly, while the other breast, use both hands. For example, when flushed left breast, use your left hand. Also when flushed right breast, use your right hand.
7. When flushed milk, do clockwise rotates or counterclockwise along to all the empty milk barn. Move your thumb and other fingers on the six o'clock position and 12 hours. Then the 11 o'clock position and at five, then two o'clock and eight o'clock, then three o'clock and nine o'clock.
8. Repeat this procedure on a regular basis (rythmically) until the breast becomes soft.
9. Avoid movements squeeze the breast, this can injure the skin of the breast and becomes bruised or reddened. Also avoid pulling at the nipple, because it can cause damage to the layer of fat on the areola.

Breast milk easily out, as long ...
The difficulty always there, but surely there are things you can do to overcome them. The things below can help you stimulate milk ejection reflex:

1. Massage cells of milk production and milk channel. Starting from the top of the breast with circular movements, massage by pressing to the chest.
2. Press the breast area from the top to around the nipple with a gentle pressure using fingers such as tickling motion.
3. Shake breast with the clockwise direction. Movement of gravity will help release the milk.

101 Breast milk benefits!

If the baby feeds on the left breast, put his head on the mother left elbow, while his right arm holding a baby as the mother's back. Free baby left arm towards the breast.
• Breastfeeding is the best food for babies, but in some cases the mother was forced to give formula milk. If it happened like this, then give formula in a portion slightly but often, so baby's digestive system can adapt. Avoid direct formula feeding in large quantities. This can lead to absorption of milk becomes longer, which resulted in the fermentation process was so excessive, and will trigger colic.

Breastfeeding process does not always run smoothly. Problems could arise from the breast or the baby.Here are some problems or disorders that often occur. Check out the solution:

Swollen breasts

This condition often occurs 2-3 days after birth, due to increased blood flow to the onset of breast and milk production. Swelling of the breasts can make a flat nipples, so hard to nurse a baby. Disturbance would be reduced within 24-48 hours, but it could become increasingly rare when you breastfeed.

Frequently breast feeding until completely empty. Do not wear tight bras, breast compresses and massage your breast before feeding.

Inflamed breast

This disturbance is called mastitis. The symptoms are breast swelling, somewhat reddish, the mother has fever and feeling very tired. Generally occur 2-6 weeks after birth due to a bacterial infection and the use of a bra that is too tight.

Compress the breast with warm water and feed your baby as often as possible. When inflammation is severe and appears pus, immediately went to the doctor.

Nipple pain

This occurs because the position does not fit the baby's mouth while feeding. If not too painful, it could still continue to breastfeed your baby. Other causes are the wrong way when you remove the baby from sucking mouth, or caused by infections.

So that pain is reduced, dab a little milk on the nipple and surrounding areas. You can also to compress the breast with warm water before feeding. After feeding, apply again in the breast milk, and let it dry itself. In addition, in order to keep the nipple dry, choose a bra with a sweat absorbing material like cotton, and frequently change the bra.

Breastfeed your baby on one side only

The notion that one side of the breast that tastes sweet, while the other side is not, it's untrue. There are also saying the right breast which contain food and drink left. Whereas the composition of its content would have been the same.

Mother should find out why your baby is only happy to nurse on one side only. Maybe the baby only smart one nipple sucking, because the nipples are more tender. The breast who are used to suck has a softer texture and chewy. So when given the breast on the other, he felt strange and difficult to inhale.

What is often unthinkable is the habit of the mother's position when carrying a baby. For example mothers already feel more comfortable giving the left side than the right, so as to give the right side, the mother feels tense. As a result, babies had to adjust, and become habit.

When breastfeeding, the mother should be relaxed and have to correct feeding position. Comfortable or not the babies affected the areola position at the mouth , right position is the whole areola in the baby's mouth. The right position Will make abundant milk production.

Then try to move, move the position of holding a baby, so that feels comfortable at every position for both of you. Most important for the mother is positive thinking, bestow love and believe breastfeeding is best for babies, which will help the oxytocin reflex (milk producing hormone) works, and the milk flow smoothly.

To obtain sufficient amounts of milk and quality, mothers are advised to give early initiation accompanied consume adequate nutrition.

Early initiation is beneficial for mother and baby. For the mother, early initiation useful to enhance the special relationship the mother and baby, stimulate uterine muscle contraction, thereby reducing the risk of bleeding after delivery, increase the odds of mothers to establish and continue breastfeeding during infancy and reduce stress after the birth mother.

For infants, early initiation temperature will keep the baby warm, calm mother and baby and regulate breathing and heart rates, bacterial colonization on the skin and gut bacteria infants with mothers of normal weight, reduce infant crying and hence reducing power stress and used a baby.

Early initiation also regulate the level of blood sugar levels and other biochemical in the body of a baby, motor coach while feeding the baby. This reduces the difficulty breastfeeding, helping baby's neurological development, obtain colostrum is beneficial for the baby's immune system and prevent the top pass by sucking reflex in infants 20-30 minutes after birth. If the baby is not breastfed, the reflex will decrease rapidly, and will only reappear in sufficient levels 40 hours later.

Early initiation is done by directly putting newborn in his mother's chest and let the baby crawl to find the mother's nipple for feeding. Early initiation of breastfeeding should be done at birth, without any activity may be delayed. During this process, the skin directly attached to the mother the baby's skin

Breastfeeding not only educate and improve the child's immune system. Breastfeeding can also reduce the child's misbehavior.

Some studies show children who are not breastfed are more aggressive than breast-fed children. When children cry and mothers to breastfeed to give, then the basic create trust. From the basic trust that children learn to trust other people.

In addition, the basic trust to help children grow as individuals who believe themselves so as not aggressive when interacting with their peers. Conversely, children who are not breastfed have no basic trust and confidence.

Children who do not have the confidence to be aggressive. Every chance he will try to take it in every way. It's also because he does not believe in anyone else.

Furthermore, a study conducted on street children in the United States shows, most of them do not get milk. Street children is growing into a naughty child and aggressive.

Breastfeeding is best to be exclusive, ie from birth until the age of six months. After it is recommended to give the corresponding food for up to two years. Only the best food, breast milk is still given.

So what if a mother can not produce milk? It is not a problem. We have many ways to stimulate breast milk can with drugs or other ways.

In addition, theoretically there is no mother who can not remove milk. Of 1000 mothers, perhaps only one that really troubled. Breast milk can not exit due to a lack of confidence in the mother. If you could get pregnant and give birth must be able to breastfeed, it's a package. The more milk out, the more is produced.

Although breastfeeding is important, needed another way to prevent delinquency in children. Parental upbringing and the environment should also support. It takes a synergy, with the development of the child that will be more optimal.

The breasts may be an 'asset' is important for a woman. No wonder just a little change in shape has become a problem. One of the things that make women fear is sagging breasts and flabby. Unfortunately, there are many who think breastfeeding is a cause of breast engorgement.

Breastfeeding is the best gift a mother can give to the baby and herself. However, not a few women who are reluctant to breastfeed for fear of sagging breasts. In fact, this opinion is wrong.

Based on studies conducted in 2007 and presented at the meeting of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons ", the experts agree that breastfeeding does not cause breast sagging. Elan breast size changed because of breast enlargement and weight gain during pregnancy, old age, and cigarettes that can make the skin elasticity decreases.

As we get older, glands in the breast was reduced, and replaced by fatty tissue that can not as tight as it used to be. The longer fibers in the breast tissue, called Cooper's ligaments were loosened. "This is a network that makes the breast firm," says Leona Downey, from the University of Arizona Health Science Center. In addition, when we are young, estrogen hormone levels to maintain high tight breasts.

Basically, your breasts do not have the muscle, but the network consists of fiber, fat, and glands that produce milk. Because not supported by bones and muscles are also, breast very easily influenced by grativasi style.

Unfortunately, according to experts we can not prevent the slack. "Because the breast is not composed of muscle then there is no sport that can tighten the chest," said Downey.

Even so, use the right bra still recommended. In addition to oppose gravity, the right bra size will also help to improve breast anatomy. "Using a tight bra for sagging breasts do not, will not much effect," said Downey. However, he suggested that we use a sports bra while doing activities that make breast shock, such as jogging or exercising.
