Breast milk is the main food source for infants. Nearly all the women want give milk to their baby, but unfortunately this is often not always running smoothly.
Many things that cause failure of breastfeeding. Even so, most of these challenges generally can be overcome with the help of a lactation consultant. to find out. Any further challenges which are common when breastfeeding, here are the review :
1. Taste that changed
One thing to consider when you do not want another baby to suckle is whether your milk flavor has changed. Milk flavor may change for several reasons, eg. Ate different foods, the influence of drugs, strenuous exercise can cause temporary buildup of lactic acid, such as mastitis breast infection, changes in taste skin caused by the use of lotion, cream or oil on the breast. Avoidance of trigger factors above may encourage your baby to breastfeed on normal levels. If you are experiencing mastitis ((infection of the breast tissue), immediately consult a doctor. Once the infection is treated, taste your milk will return normal. If your baby stops nursing faster, try massaging your breasts and pumping a little milk before you begin breastfeeding. In this way, your milk will flow more fast and your baby will feel more satisfied.
2. Stress
If you are not sure that the taste of milk is causing the problem, consider whether you are experiencing tension or stress. Emotional discomfort can be communicated to your baby to reduce stress levels. A mother's can not always be free from stress, but for certain occasions (before feeding), do fun activities that can make your mind relax. take time to relax for a moment not only help your baby get more milk but also lowers levels of stress on yourself.
3. Disease
The presence of certain diseases suffered by infants may be making it more difficult to breastfeeding. Decreased interest in eating that accompanied by lethargy, fever, vomiting, or diarrhea, cough, or trouble breathing may indicate a particular disease. Consult your pediatrician or family doctor if your baby refuses to eat. Disease in infants can affect the baby's diet to reduce the amount of milk it receives. If your baby has a cold and cause nasal congestion, may be difficult for him to breathe while eating. Clean the baby's nasal passages with the spray before eating can help to overcome the blockage of the nose to temporary. Other problems such as teething like can also cause gum disease when breastfeeding.
4. Spit up
Spit is a condition that often befall almost every baby. but actually this condition need not be too worried. During your baby seems uncomfortable and not having a weight problem, it seems to not be a serious problem. but when the spit too often experienced by infants, it should be wary of. This could be are the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), so it needs to get further treatment. Spit up can actually be minimized by making the atmosphere of calm and relaxed breastfeeding. Avoid interruptions, shocking sound infants, bright lights, and other disorders. Try to hold your baby more upright during and after feeding. do not take your baby to play as soon as she finished nursing. If your baby is vomiting a few times and see the blood or dark green color when it vomiting, contact your pediatrician immediately. Usually the doctor will monitor his weight and checking for signs of more serious disease.
5. Dehydration
The best way to ensure your baby is getting enough milk is to monitor physical condition, weight, and the contents of her diaper. It's important to consult with your pediatrician if you notice your child shows no interest in food, the mouth or dry eyes, or produce fewer wet diapers than usual. It may signs of dehydration. Severe dehydration is rare in infants is generally sufficient breastfeeding. Dehydration in infants can be very dangerous or even life-threatening and most likely to occur when the baby refuses to eat, frequent vomiting or diarrhea.
