nursing .. Because before having a child everything they tell you (often by very terrorism): childbirth, pain, lack of sleep, no time to wash .. in short, just about everything, but no one-or quasi-tells you how often it is very difficult the first month of lactation.
Yeah, because if you have milk, "you're lucky," because the whole thing seems to be due to a combination of the stars or to the grace given by God or who knows what luck metaphysics ..
-ed excuse the polemic, but I feel "all" the time, and unfortunately, often due to incompetent health personnel-
But have milk and breastfeeding is a physiological and natural for every woman (unless of serious illnesses) But that does not mean it is easy. And it's not just because you live in an environment where what has always been natural has become so strange now that it seems abnormal. Everything about feeding of any kind, because, alas, most people do not even know more than the udder of a cow, but it works exactly like that of a woman's milk comes through a pregnancy and ends when the puppy stern Moreover, simply because it is more stimulated secretion.
But back to us stronger than some previous readings and the birth of a very great determination in this regard since the family allergic diseases (breast milk is very protective in this way) I arrived at the hospital and after those 26 hours from my arrival, the turtle is finally born. I was not attacking you at once, because I was left too little time, and passed between the time to be sewn and relatives waiting outside, I could do about an hour to an hour and a half later (and in a 'intimate atmosphere at all, given the dense presence outside). The turtle, fortunately, was still under a broad effect of adrenaline, and tried to stick right away. Then he started snoring, upset, and I attack him every time I was a little 'wake up and I tried to keep him awake touches the foot, but he immediately collapsed. So we spent the first day, but I tried not to get so anxious, trying to trust him as much as possible. I did not come the classic cream, milk came gradually, but they rush to the hospital and they put us nothing to give the addition of artificial intelligence (to my neighbor were already giving the) and I was worried about this. Luckily I was not seen anyone, only nurses looked at my application-under-attack well if that's all. We have kept an extra day for weight loss and then luckily we got the green light. I have continued to attack the turtle and he was often attacked as an hour and a half, the problem is that after a while I started having tremendous pain, to cry every time they attacked and hence the thousands of paranoia ... I feared not attack well, because everywhere it says that if you have bad it is for this reason. Engineering attack had become a work: check the shoulder is aligned with the pelvis, check the axis sine / head, mouth opening, the bend of the lip .. but continued to have bad (and by the way I had come to a fissure, although I did not know if it was), so I tried to contact the hospital, but once you're out no one considers more, or tried to contact the clinic on the ground, but telephone numbers were either wrong or did not work .. Desperate we tried to use a pacifier, just to give a little 'breathing breast, even though we knew that was not good for breastfeeding, but we used two or three times, not only offer it to him in moments of acute despair, however, and the turtle did not like very much.
Luckily I have a couple of friends who had breast-fed before me and asking them I have found that breast hurt for the first month is very common, beyond the goodness of the attack. So I fitted with oil-vea that helped a little, and I gritted my teeth and doggedly determined to go ahead. Slowly (Loooong plane!) Things started to get better and the pain after about a month - a month and a half, it disappeared altogether. Now
breastfeeding for almost six months on an exclusive basis and always on request and I will continue until the turtle will need it, it's a physical need, emotional or psychological, it does not matter. Unfortunately
looking around I see so many ruined feedings, often with little and ill-informed pediatricians who are starting to propose additions and to require nursing hours and double weighted. On the other hand I realized how difficult it is to establish a good practice if you have difficulty (quite common), given the short support and support that is given (especially if the problem comes after hospital discharge), a condition which can be summed to the period of disruption and have particular value that is lived after the birth ..
And then, after thinking a bit brooding, 'I made a decision: I become IBCLC! I do not know if I can help as I would like to be, but I will do everything possible, because every mother and every child has the right to a peaceful and possibly long-lasting experience of breastfeeding:)
