10 phrases that are better not to speak to a nursing mother

How to feed, when, how long - all this"Experts" know better than you. And let them not have their children, but they “heard”, “read”, “showed in the news”. We collected the most annoying comments. Or maybe you also have something to share? 1. Do you have to do it right here? Yes, imagine! If the mother decides to feed the child in a public place, it means that she really has no other choice. In the end, in our very patriarchal country, mothers try to hide, hide behind and not show off this rather intimate process for show. But ... you can't save yourself from everything. And someone will certainly pay attention to a quiet couple in the corner. And come out with a comment. If you quit breastfeeding, the baby will sleep better. Yes, children sleep very restlessly. They can wake up from colic, from teething, and from anything. It is not because he was impatient to eat right now, in the middle of the night. In addition, to put the baby's chest - the easiest way to calm him down. And in the morning there will be time to figure out what the problem is. You must agree, to find a source of anxiety is a much more humane way to resolve the issue of sleep than to deprive the baby of breast milk.Photo: GettyImages3. It exhausts you too. Some of them go even further and formulate like this: “You are tied to the baby by your own breasts around the clock”. Well yes. Not without it. But even if she stops feeding, the woman will still be tied to the child! After all, maternal care is not limited to feeding alone. This diaper, and pots, and sleep, and reading, and God knows what else. And breastfeeding allows you to at least sit down and relax for a while, breaking off all this turmoil. Yes, it happens that women, while breastfeeding, lose weight and look exhausted. But this issue is solved again with a healthy diet, and not the cessation of feeding. 4. Is he hungry again? This is also a very common question that causes many moms to doubt enough milk and, in fact, the quality of lactation. And one more: “How often do you feed him?” Here you can answer only one thing: it is impossible to overfeed with breast milk. And in general it is hardly possible to overfeed a baby, because young children eat only when they are really hungry or thirsty. So chase away the doubts. If a child asks for a breast, it means he really needs it. 5. What if the milk went bad? “My God, can it happen?” Of course not! What nonsense. Have you ever heard that cows (sorry for the parallel, but ...) give yogurt or curd? Not? Do you know why? Because it is impossible physiologically. Milk is always fresh. And it will not curl up right in the chest, no matter what you do: sitting in the sauna, jumping in the gym or meditating. 6. He uses you instead of a nipple Yes, indeed, when a baby is tired, upset or sick, he can ask for breast more often. But this does not mean that it is an imitation of the nipples. Actually the opposite. They usually deceive children with a dummy when they are sure that they do not want to eat, but simply are naughty. It may be difficult to wean the babies off the nipples, but this is up to you. And remember: the children cannot explain why he needs his chest right now. You just have to trust the child. And ignore the nonsense for which others are so generous. There is no use in your milk after ... Continue on your own: three months, six months or more. The reality is this: up to six months, milk really has miraculous properties. The immunity of the child is protected only by antibodies, which are contained in breast milk. Then his own immunity turns on, vaccinations begin. But this does not mean that there are no nutrients left in the milk. Everything you need for the growth and development of the baby, it is still there.Photo: GettyImages8.But it's easier to give a bottle! Oh well. Jump up in the middle of the night, run to warm up the milk, bottle, nipple. Spill the milk, clean up the puddle. Overheat the milk, let it cool. Cool it too much. Wake up completely and get angry. Oh, not milk, but formula? Then add to this exciting quest the preparation of formula. Ugh. No, it's not easier to give a bottle. The only thing is that someone else can do it. But you can entrust someone else with other things. Take a walk, for example. Or play with the baby. Or go to the store. 9. Why don't you stop feeding? Then there are more options: after all, he is already eight months old, a year old, already one and a half. However, this does not concern anyone except you. Your breast. Your child. Your business. 10. MoooooWell, there is no need to even comment on this. Such a comment is not very smart. And not smart at all. Pure peristalsis. Forget it. Read more:
