Baby Q & A 寶寶問題解答
 
 
Q:  奐均你好:
  今天下午讀了你的書感覺受益良多,但不知你剛餵母奶時有做乳房護理嗎?我頭一胎沒餵成功,因為乳房有點發炎不通,而且 一直破皮...
 
 
 
A:  在餵母奶方面,瑪蒂亞姑姑有幾項建議:
 
一、多吃全麥穀類和綠色葉菜,多喝水,多喝湯(不是牛奶或果汁)。心情保持愉快。
 
二、每邊乳房各餵十分鐘,在換邊時和餵完後幫寶寶拍背打嗝。
 
三、餵完奶後,用清水擦拭乳房上殘留的口水(不要用肥皂),擦乾,在乳頭上放塊乾淨的棉布再穿上胸罩。這個清潔工作很重要,因為妳的乳頭正在適應餵母奶。保持清潔可以預防(或治療)乳頭龜裂、疼痛。不要給寶寶吃奶嘴,因為吃奶嘴可能導致新生兒鵝口瘡,也可能導致乳頭疼痛。如果乳頭龜裂情形嚴重,甚至出現傷口,可以在每次餵完奶後擦「使力復乳膏」(Silvadene cream)。下次餵奶之前,用清水沖一下乳頭即可,少許殘留的乳膏不會對寶寶有害。台灣的醫院也許有其他的乳膏可以解決這方面的問題。
 
Q:  Hello Judy,
    I’ve benefited much from reading your book, but I wonder if you had any special training in breast feeding.  I did not have success with my first child, because my breasts became infected and my nipples became cracked.
 
A:  These are the tips from Aunt Madia’s book Dr. Denmark Said It!:
 
    1.  Eat plenty of whole grains and leafy, green vegetables and drink lots of water and soups (not milk or juice);  and be happy : ).
    2.  Nurse your baby ten minutes on each side, burping him at the change over and after nursing.  
    3.  After nursing, wash the baby's saliva off your breasts with clear water (no soap), dry them, and put clean cotton fabric between the nipples and bra.  The cleansing is especially important while your nipples are becoming acclimated to nursing.  Washing helps prevent (or treat) cracked, sore nipples.  Don't give the baby pacifiers because it may contribute to a condition called thrush in the infant's mouth.  Thrush may also contribute to soreness of nipples.  If the nipples have become so badly cracked that there is actually a cut, you may apply Silvadene cream after each feeding.  Rinse it off with clear water before the next nursing.  The residual Silvadene will not hurt the baby.  There may be other ointments offered here in Taiwan hospitals.
