Nursing measures of breastfeeding
Health education intervention for pregnant women combined with family support can effectively improve the chances of postpartum breastfeeding, thus improving the breastfeeding rate. Our hospital has expanded the scope of health education; A school for pregnant women was opened, and pregnant women, prospective fathers and other family members were invited to participate. A lecture on breast-feeding health education was held to publicize the benefits of breast-feeding through videos, pictures, models and publicity materials. One-on-one family education should be implemented for pregnant women who are in hospital for delivery, encouraging pregnant women and their families to establish their determination and confidence in breastfeeding, so as to lay a good foundation for successful breastfeeding after delivery.
What are the factors that affect breastfeeding?
1. Mother lacks knowledge of breastfeeding. During pregnancy, the parturient failed to understand breastfeeding, the advantages of breastfeeding, and how to practice breastfeeding. In the early postpartum and puerperium, influenced by local customs, women are only given some millet porridge, resulting in less milk and more "taboos", which makes women eat less, resulting in too little or no milk, thus losing confidence and giving up breastfeeding; At the same time, some women are afraid of affecting their body shape and are unwilling to breastfeed their children; Others, because of their good family economic conditions, are afraid of adults' intervention and buy good milk powder imported from abroad to feed them, mistakenly thinking that it is better than breast milk.
2. Lack of breastfeeding experience. Although I know the benefits of breastfeeding in theory, I also have a desire to breastfeed. However, due to my lack of breastfeeding experience, such as incorrect posture during breastfeeding, incorrect breast care and milking, etc., it may lead to crying, chapped nipples, slow milk secretion and insufficient milk, which may lead to the interruption of breastfeeding or the addition of milk powder.
3. Mom and baby are sick. Because the baby is sick, the mother is nervous, and the baby eats less milk, resulting in reduced lactation. Some mothers are sick and think that drugs entering milk will affect their children's growth and development. The above two conditions are the factors that lead the parturient to stop breastfeeding.
4. Psychological factors also directly affect breastfeeding. Because pregnant women and lactating women have great physiological changes, fragile feelings and slight psychological injuries, anxiety and mental disorders will occur, which will also lead to a decrease in milk secretion. Breastfeeding behavior may change at any time, and children will be stopped breastfeeding and artificially fed.
Avoiding breastfeeding factors can ensure breast milk well. Secondly, if the quality of breast milk can be guaranteed, babies can get good nutrition after drinking breast milk. Because sometimes breast milk can cause many problems for babies, it is very important for mothers to understand this knowledge.
