That is, it is definitely not possible to relax after the birth of Baby, because feeding is albeit difficult, but pleasant work. The feminine should understand why she tries so hard and why feed the newborn is an integral part of communication with the child.
While the kid is quite small and only a few days from birth, he undergoes a big stress associated with finding the world in the new for him, in which you need to ask food, in which it is not always warm or hot, where he does not feel in the same safety As in the womb.

What does the baby mean breastfeeding?
Kid, whom breastfeeding:
- more calm and balanced than children-artificials;
- does not fall into the risk group due to improper dosage of the mixture, unclean water, irregular food temperature, which affects the formation of the gastrointestinal tract, weight, mental opportunities in the future;
- it is developing faster, because it is fed, warmed, surrounded by care, basic needs are satisfied, it's time to study the environment;
- gets a maximum of useful trace elements from maternal milk, immune protection against viruses, microbes, and all the necessary substances in milk are balanced, fitted under the needs of the baby, since while the mother feeds the child's breasts - their organisms function "on the same wave". Milk stands out with the set of trace elements that are needed at that age in which there will be a crumb at that time. The same dependence (mother-child) works in the desired amount of milk produced for feeding a newborn, that is, it will not remain hungry with the right organization of feedings, and not reest.
How to organize feeding?
It must be said that the feeding of a newborn is happening not only through the mother breast (breast milk), but also (in case the mother does not have milk or breastfeeding it is impossible) by means of dairy children's mixtures - baby, nutrilon, nestle, etc.
In case of the need for artificial feeding, it is necessary to learn from the district pediatrician when it is necessary to resort to this type of feeding a newborn, which rate to give mixtures for each feeding, how to observe the health status of the child, the reaction to the dairy mixture of a manufacturer when weighing. On the banks of dairy mixes they write norms for each feeding, but all kids develop differently: one will be enough 120 ml per feeding, to another to gain strength, you need all 180 ml. Without a female pediatrician, it is better not to move full on the milk mixtures, or for squeezing.
If the mother breastfeed the child, she can also face certain problems that are not so easy to solve:
- what if milk does not come, swells the breast, the body temperature rises;
- how to avoid cracks of nipples, hyperlactation;
- how to feed the baby if he has thrush;
- how often to put the baby to the chest and how to find out what he is fed.
Therefore, the feeding of the newborn is successful, you need:
- monitor the sterility of the bottle, nipple and chest;
- monitor the dosage of the mixture, water quality, nursing women by the fact that they themselves eat and drink;
- organize feeding at the same time every day, do not miss night feedings, do not dope with water after breast milk, not to overflow a mixture over the norm, even if the baby asks additives.
And the main rule is not to apply the breast as calm during crying, but only as a method of saturation. Otherwise, other problems will arise that the mother's discomfort, and it is much more difficult to deal with them.
