Observe milk
First, Ma Bao can observe her own milk with the naked eye. Ma Bao's milk can be roughly divided into colostrum, transitional milk, mature milk and late milk. Let's focus on the longest-lasting mature milk stage. Mature milk lasts about two weeks to nine months after the baby is born, and its structure is relatively stable. If the milk is white and thick, it means that it contains a lot of fat and nutrition and belongs to high-quality milk.
If it is gray and thin, it means that milk contains many minerals, but other nutrients such as fat are not enough, so Ma Bao needs to do something. If the milk is pure white, it means that it contains some protein and carbohydrates, but it still can't meet the nutritional needs of children well, and needs to be supplemented with some extra nutrition.
Observe the baby
1. Sleep
Experts pointed out that the quality of milk in Ma Bao can be seen from children's reaction after drinking milk. Under normal circumstances, the baby can sleep for about 3 hours after breastfeeding, but if the child is hungry soon after breastfeeding, it is likely that the milk is malnourished. This situation will not only affect the baby's health, but also seriously reduce the quality of sleep in Ma Bao.
develop
Under normal circumstances, the baby's weight gain should be regular, and the baby within 6 months should maintain at least 500 grams of weight gain every month. If it is not up to standard, it may be that the quality of breast milk is not good.
defecate
Breast-fed babies have golden stools. And the daily amount is very stable. If the baby's stool is found to be light green, it can show that the quality of milk is not good and the nutrients are very low.
Have all these identification methods been learned by Bao Ma? These things may be more accurate when considered comprehensively, but the most accurate thing is to go to the hospital for identification. If conditions permit, you can go to the hospital for a check-up every once in a while to ensure the quality of breast milk.
