From the moment the child is applied to the chest, which must be addressed in a plan. This is necessary to make the child healthy and contribute essentially to preserve the health of the mother, so it was a good nurse, and her duty at the same time becomes a pleasure.
This implies, however, special health care of the mother, because your child is essentially dependent. Milk healthy, nutritious and digestible only a parent can get healthy, and is against common sense that if a mother affects your health and digestion of improper diet, neglect exercise, and impure air may, however, provide as wholesome and uncontaminated a fluid for her child, as if careful attention to these important points. Each instance of the ill nurse is likely to affect the child.
And this leads me to note that it is a common misconception that because a woman is a nurse, she should live well, and add a margin of wine, porter, or other fermented liquor, your diet. The only result of this plan is to cause a degree of fullness in the natural system, which places the nurse at the edge of the disease, which itself often puts an end to the secretion of milk, rather than increase . Terms of the law of procedure is very simple: make the most attention to the ordinary laws of health, and mother, if she has a good constitution, will make a better nurse than by any other standard nonsense based on
ignorance and caprice .
The following case demonstrates the correctness of this statement:
A young woman, confined with her first child, left the room in the chapel at the end of the third week, a good nurse, and in perfect health. He had some problems with the nipples lightly, but this was soon overcome.
The porter system was now commenced, and from a pint to a pint and half of this beverage was taken in the twenty-four hours. This was resorted to, not because there was no shortage of milk supply, because it was plentiful, and the child feeds him, but because, being a nurse, she said was normal and necessary and that without her milk and strength would soon fail.
After the plan had been followed for several days, the mother became drowsy and ready to sleep in the day, a headache, thirst, hot skin, in fact, came the fever, decreased milk quantity, and the first time, the stomach and intestines of the baby became a mess. The porter was ordered to stay out, corrective measures have been prescribed, and all symptoms in both parent and child, were dropped after a while, and restore health.
I have been accustomed, before becoming a mother, with a glass of wine or two, and sometimes a beer glass table, was advised to closely monitor his diet plan for the first, but added a half-pint of barley , milk morning and evening. Both parents and children continues in excellent health during the remaining infants, and it does not taste artificial food until the ninth month, the mother of all milk is sufficient for its wants.
No one can doubt that the porter was in this case, the source of evil. The patient had gone into the lying-in room in perfect health, had a good time and left the room (comparatively) as strong as it is entered. Its constitution had not been previously worn by repeated pregnancies and nursing, she had an ample supply of milk, and was perfectly able to perform the duties that now fell to her, without resorting to unusual or challenging support . Her previous habits were totally at odds with the plan that was adopted, the system became too full, the disease was produced, and the outcome is nothing more than what you might expect.
The plan for the first six months. Until the milk is fully established, it can not be until the second or third day after birth (usually by what at first birth), infants should be fed a little gruel, or third water and two thirds milk, sweetened with molasses.
After this time, you must obtain your food within itself, and for a week or ten days the appetite of children must be the guide of the mother, the frequency of offering the breast. The stomach at birth is low, and yet unaccustomed to food needs, therefore, are easy to satisfy, but which are renewed frequently. An interval, however, is not enough to digest swallowed, is obtained before the appetite revived, and a new supply is needed.
After a week or so, it is usually necessary, and for some children this can be done from day one, and the safety of children in order to nurse a child on a regular basis, three or four hours, day and night . This allows sufficient time for each meal to be digested, and strives to maintain the child's bowel conditions. So regularly, in addition to do much to prevent irritability, and constant roar, which looks like it might be allayed only by putting the child's chest constantly. Young mother very frequently runs into a serious error in this particular regard to each phrase a disagreement demonstrates the appetite, and whenever the baby cries, offering the breast, although ten minutes have passed since the last meal. It is a harmful and dangerous in practice, overloading the stomach, the food remains undigested, the childs bowels are always in the wrong order, becomes restless and feverish,
For the same reason, children who sleep with their parents should not allow the nipple still in his mouth all night. If it is as suggested, is to awaken, as the hour draws to a meal, with great regularity. Referring to food at night, I suggest that breastfeeding as late as ten hours, and put it back until five the next morning. Many mothers have adopted this indication, with great advantage for their own health, and without any prejudice to the child. With the latter, which quickly becomes a habit of driving, however, must be learned early.
