After an October pregnancy, her mother gave birth to a pair of lovely twins, which made every family member happy. However, new mothers will encounter many problems, of which breastfeeding is the most common. How do twins breastfeed? Here, Xiao Bian came up with an idea for you.
The principle of twin breastfeeding
Breastfeeding. For twins, breastfeeding has a higher degree of difficulty. However, breastmilk is the best nutrient food for babies. In order for the baby to develop healthily and catch up with normal babies as early as possible, as long as conditions permit, it is best to insist on breastfeeding. Breastfeeding twins, whether it is on the turn or left and right, “startsâ€, and the hardest part is mother. The new father can't stand by and should help the wife to relieve the burden properly. For example, sucking out the wife's milk with a breast pump, feeding his wife a baby, and experiencing the hardships and joy of bringing up together.
Adopt a small amount of meal feeding principle. Twin babies have small stomach capacity and poor digestion. If they are fed normally, they are prone to vomiting or indigestion. Therefore, it is best to use the feeding principle of eating less and more meals.
Nutritional supplements. Since mothers are required to gestate two fetuses at the same time, the intake of nutrients will appear to be relatively insufficient. This can easily result in less nutrient storage in twins and prone to malnutrition anemia, rickets and other diseases after birth. Therefore, the twin babies should pay more attention to nutritional supplements and can add complementary foods earlier than normal babies.
Feeding method. Twin baby sucking and swallowing reflex is not sound, cardia sphincter relaxation, pyloric sphincter relative tension, stomach capacity, long emptying time, easy to spit milk. When feeding your baby, it is best to keep it in the semi-supine position. Don't rush to let it sit down after feeding. You can hold the baby and pat the back first, and then let it lie down. This will prevent the baby from spitting.
Diet hygiene. Twin babies have poorly developed body organs, low immune function, weak anti-infective ability, and prone to various intestinal infectious diseases. When feeding, make sure that the food that enters the baby's mouth is clean and hygienic. Breastfeeding, mothers should cleanse themselves and their breasts.
Next, there are ways to breastfeed twins. Don't miss it.
Breastfeeding methods
At the beginning of breastfeeding
After the baby is born, feeding as early as possible and often feeding it will be easier to succeed. Even if you or your baby's health problems must be separated from each other, it does not mean that you must give up breastfeeding.
If either baby or two babies cannot suck the nipple directly, you must drain the milk every 2 to 3 hours during the day and at least once a night. Electric breast pump can be used.
The milk supply is based on the stimulation of the breast by the baby's sucking (or milking) frequency. This is why twin mothers can always give enough milk to give the two babies.
Assisted breastfeeding
Once twins return home healthily, many mothers find it easiest to feed two babies at the same time. Use your pillow to support your baby and your hands will be free to assist each baby in the correct posture.
It is best to have the baby take turns sucking both nipples. For example, at 7 o'clock in the morning, A baby sucks the left side, B baby sucks the right side; next time when feeding, then change B baby to suck left side, A baby sucks right side.
Breastfeeding at night
If you learn to lay breastfeeding, it will be easier to feed at night. A posture in which you can lie and feed your twins is: After lying flat, place a baby on your side next to you, and let the baby's head close to the breast and pull the baby's foot closer to your body. The other baby is crossing your body with your head on the breast on the other side, and his foot is placed under the knee of the first baby.
Own care
The most important thing is that breast-feeding mothers must take good care of themselves, eat a balanced diet and drink when they are thirsty, try their best to match their baby's routines, rest as much as possible, and receive assistance from all family members in cooking and washing clothes.
Twin mothers need the most adequate sleep, do the least family work, vent negative emotions and sense of isolation. At this time, the help and support of relatives, friends, and spouse can give a twin mother different treatment.
When twins are breastfeeding, it is better for new mothers to learn more about them.
