Breast-feeding generally does not need to control the amount of milk, because breast-feeding adheres to the principle of on-demand feeding, and children can be fed at any time as long as they have needs. But as children get older, complementary food can be added after six months. At this time, the feeding frequency of breast milk must be reduced to avoid affecting the intake of complementary food, otherwise the nutrition of breast milk can not meet the growth needs of children. You can stop breastfeeding at night, and the interval between two breastfeeding meals during the day should be extended, and a complementary food can be added in the middle. In addition, it is best for children to insist on breastfeeding until they are one year old.
Pay attention to when breastfeeding:
First of all, the breasts should be cleaned. Before breastfeeding, give your breasts a warm bath and keep them dry.
Second, pay attention to breastfeeding posture, so that newborns contain areola, not just nipples, which will reduce the stimulation to mothers' nipples.
Third, breast-feeding should be carried out alternately, eating one side first and then eating the opposite side.
Fourth, because breast milk is rich in water, breast-fed newborns should try to reduce the supplement of water.
