What to do if your baby bites the milk during feeding

1. When you just start breastfeeding, try to use milking techniques to stimulate milk letdown, speed up milk flow, and allow the baby to eat milk as soon as possible and start swallowing.

2. If the baby suddenly bites you during feeding, stop breastfeeding immediately and tell him seriously that this is not allowed (the baby can feel the mother's emotions), gently put him down for a few minutes, and then pick him up to feed. If the baby bites you again, stop immediately and "educate" him. In this way, the baby will know that the mother is unhappy if he does this, and the feeding will stop. Only when he does not bite the mother can he continue to feed.

3. Adjust the breastfeeding posture, and make sure the baby's head is tilted back, the whole body is closer to the mother, and the mouth is opened wide to deeply latch on to the breast.

4. If in the final stage of breastfeeding (that is, when the mother feels that the baby's sucking becomes slower and lighter, and the baby is not concentrating on feeding), put a finger at the corner of his mouth, be ready to place it between the upper and lower gums to withdraw the nipple, switch to the other breast to feed, or end breastfeeding.

5. Avoid using pacifiers or bottle nipples, as this can easily cause nipple illusion and allow the child to bite the breast whenever he wants while sucking on the nipple.

6. Sometimes babies bite you just to get your attention, so mothers should be more focused when feeding, pay attention to some signals from the baby, and give feedback in time.

What to do if your breasts sag after breastfeeding

1. Choose the right feeding method according to the specific situation, generally sitting, side-lying, hugging, etc. The correct feeding posture is helpful to prevent the occurrence of nipple diseases. Breastfeed at any time according to the baby's needs, and the milk should be emptied after each feeding.

2. Do not let the child over-pull the nipple during breastfeeding. After each breastfeeding, gently lift the breast with your hands and massage for 10 minutes.

3. Wash your breasts with warm water at least twice a day. This is not only beneficial to the cleanliness of the breasts, but also increases the elasticity of the suspensory ligaments, thereby preventing breast sagging.

4. The bra should be of appropriate tightness to achieve the best lifting effect.
