The most important food for a baby is breast milk. Mother's milk is a food that ensures the child's healthy, disease-free, rapid and defect-free development. Mother's milk contains a lot of protein (albumin, globulin), fat, carbohydrates, vitamins (A, C, D, E, B1, B12, B6) and antibodies that protect the child from diseases. Some of our women don't want to breastfeed their children using various excuses and give them different types of cow or goat's milk. The most regrettable part of this situation is that a woman damages the health of two people, her child and herself, with one mistake. That is, first of all, because the child does not consume mother's milk, he is sensitive and susceptible to diseases, especially infectious diseases. A mother can get breast cancer if she does not breastfeed her child! For this reason, making unreasonable excuses for not breastfeeding will not lead to good results. However, at this point, we found it necessary to enumerate the circumstances that are the basis for a mother not to breastfeed her child.
When blood circulation in the brain is disturbed;
In hemolytic disease caused by incompatibility of antigens in erythrocytes;
When a child is born prematurely and has no swallowing and sucking reflexes;
In severe forms of respiratory disorders, it is completely impossible to breastfeed the child!
Breastfeeding is not recommended in the following diseases of the mother:
In renal failure;
In congenital or acquired heart failure;
In endocarditis and myocarditis;
In Bazedov's disease;
In malignant tumors;
In acute mental illness.
Breastfeeding is not possible when the mother has active forms of tuberculosis. The child is removed from the mother for 1,5-2 months, during which time the child is vaccinated and develops immunity against tuberculosis. Breastfeeding is continued with breast milk. In addition, if the mother becomes ill during lactation with diseases such as influenza, pneumonia, measles, rubella, anthrax, tetanus, sweating, the following special measures are taken.
Influenza, when the lungs are inflamed - the mother can breastfeed while wearing a mask over her mouth. After breastfeeding, the child is transferred from the mother to a separate room;
When measles, rubella - it is possible to continue breastfeeding. However, at the same time the child is injected with gamma globulin under the supervision of a pediatrician;
In anthrax, breastfeeding is completely stopped and other women's milk is used;
In severe cases of rash and recurrent sweating, breastfeeding is temporarily stopped. In mild cases, breastfeeding is continued.
❗️ Appropriate measures should be taken when the above conditions are observed in a woman. When these conditions are observed, you should be under the supervision of a doctor (pediatrician, family doctor) not only for yourself, but also for your child's health.
