In fact, with moms and their children, everything is in order, just breastfeeding takes place in several stages, and each of them has its own pitfalls.

We hasten to correct the gap in knowledge: if you are already breastfeeding or preparing for this, our advice can help you.
5 stages of feeding
Preparatory stage. The last trimester of pregnancy. A little liquid can be released from the chest. This is normal and does not require intervention. 1. Stage - colostrum. The first days after childbirth. Colostrum is produced little, but it is very high-calorie and useful for the baby, so it is not necessary to supplement the baby until the "normal milk" comes. The second stage is a transitional one. From the moment of the tide (3-5 days after delivery) until the 3rd week. Milk comes a lot, the breast becomes tight. This is the most important stage in the development of breastfeeding. Stage 3. Milk. Up to 6 months. During this period milk production passes several crises - about every 1.5 months it is slightly reduced by 3-4 days. It is important during these periods to keep the natural feeding, despite the difficulties that arise. The fourth stage is the introduction of complementary foods. From 6 months to one year, the diet of the child gradually introduces solid food. The frequency of breastfeeding is reduced, which leads to a decrease in milk production. It is important that the decline is not too sharp. The 5th stage is the final stage. The kid eats regular food, and the mother's milk is necessary for him to strengthen immunity, development and emotional support. As a rule, a complete rejection of the breast occurs gradually, when the child is psychologically ready for this.
