WHY CAN'T WE GIVE WATER TO A BREASTFEEDING BABY BEFORE 6 MONTHS, EVEN WHEN THE WEATHER IS HOT?

Water is the greatest barrier to exclusive breastfeeding.

1) Giving water to young babies puts them at risk of diarrhoea and malnutrition.
2) Water may not be clean and cause the baby to have infections.
3) Giving water may also cause the baby to drink less breastmilk
4) It can cause baby to stop breastfeeding early and therefore cause malnutrition.
5) If mothers give water instead of breastfeeding it will also cause the mother to have less milk in the future.

Breast milk is more than 80% water, especially the first milk that comes with each feed. Therefore, whenever the mother feels her baby is thirsty she can breastfeed him or her.
This will satisfy the bay’s thirst, and continue to protect the baby from infections, and help the baby to continue to grow well.

★★Babies do not need water before they are 6 months old, even in a hot climate. This is one of the reasons that WHO recommends for children to be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months of life★★

A child is considered exclusively breastfed when he or she receives only breast milk, without any additional food or liquid, even water.

★★With the exception of oral rehydration solution, drops, syrups of vitamins, minerals or medicines which might be prescribed or necessary sometimes★★

When breastfeeding, the mother gives her baby all the water he or she needs, while providing “safe water” and protecting the baby against diarrhoea.

★★★BURPING YOUR BABY★★★

Burping helps to get rid of some of the air that babies tend to swallow during feeding. Not being burped frequently from too much air swallowed during feeding can lead to spitting up, crankiness, and gassiness.

You might need to place a towel or bib under your baby's chin or on your shoulder to prevent messy cleanups when your baby spits up or has a "wet burp".

★★THREE PREFERABLE METHODS OF BURPING BABIES★★

You can try other methods that are comfortable for you and your baby.

1.......Sit upright and hold your baby against your chest.
Your baby's chin should rest on your shoulder as you support the baby with one hand. With the other hand, gently pat your baby's back. Sitting in a rocking chair and gently rocking with your baby while you do this may also help.

2.......Hold your baby sitting up, in your lap or across your knee.
Support your baby's chest and head with one hand by cradling your baby's chin in the palm of your hand and resting the heel of your hand on your baby's chest (but be careful to grip your baby's chin, not throat). Use the other hand to pat your baby's back gently.

3........Lay your baby on your lap on his or her belly.
Support your baby's head and make sure it's higher than his or her chest. Gently pat your baby's back.

If your baby doesn't burp after a few minutes, change the baby’s position and try burping for another few minutes before feeding again. Always burp your baby when feeding time is over.

As your baby gets older, you shouldn't worry if your child doesn't burp during or after every feeding. Usually, it just means that your baby has learned to eat without swallowing excess air.

★★VOMITING Vs SPITTING UP IN NEWBORN: IT IS NORMAL★★

Vomiting is a more forceful throwing up of stomach contents.

Spitting up or regurgitation is just the easy flow of stomach contents out of the mouth, usually followed after a burp, and is common for infants below the age of one year.

Other possible causes of newborn baby vomiting also include:

√Car sickness
√Indigestion
√Excessive crying
√Coughing
√Having a cold
√Ear infection
√Food allergy
√Urine infection
√Over feeding

★★FEW TIPS TO HELP RELIEVE BABIES:

Step 1 – After feeding your baby, keep her upright for about 30 minutes so that gravity can help to keep things down.

Step 2 – There shouldn’t be any pressure on your baby’s stomach after a feeding, so avoid strapping her into a car seat or laying on her tummy for about 30 minutes.

Step 3 – Gently burp your baby after every feed and sometimes even during feeds, so that the air will be released.

Step 4 – Hold off on any active play right after feedings and don’t get your baby too excited or worked up.

★★ BUT WHEN TO WORRY!!

Although it’s normal for newborn babies to vomit, according to NUH, if your little one shows any of the following signs, you should immediately take to the hospital.

★Sunken eyes
★Less than five wet diapers in a day
★Dry skin, mouth, and tongue
★Sunken fontanelle (the soft spot on her head)
★Not willing to drink
★Vomitting non-stop for more than four to six hours
★Diarrhea more than six times in one day
★Fast breathing
★Cool or greyish skin
★The vomit is green
★Blood in the vomit or diarrhea
★Fever of over 39°C for more than 12 hours

★★★USE OF CHLORHEXIDINE GEL FOR UMBILICAL CARE★★★

In the past, mothers were instructed to swab the umbilical stump with rubbing alcohol (methylated spirit) after every diaper change but that has changed.

Sadly however, a lot of wrong practices based on tradition that may predispose a newborn to infection are still engaged in.

The application of Chlorhexidine Gel is the GOLD STANDARD NOW.

Chlorhexidine gel is applied once a day after delivery once the baby is cleaned. It works for 24 hours. The mother can apply it on her own without assistance.
One application is all that is required as it takes care of formation of any sepsis or other infections.

The DO's
★Wash your hands before and after application
★Expose the stump to air to help dry out the base.
★Keep the front of your baby’s diaper folded down to avoid covering the stump.
★In warm weather, dress your baby in a diaper and T-shirt to improve air circulation.
★Sponge baths might be most practical during the healing process.
★When the stump falls off, you can bathe your baby in a baby tub or sink.
★It should be kept out of eyes and ears and should be applied only to the umbilical stump.
★Please, let the stump fall off on its own.
★Resist the temptation to pull off the stump yourself.
★Do not give the child drinks including Gripe water which is already banned by NAFDAC.

★★Continue to breast feed the baby for six months on exclusive breast milk. No water. No herbal solutions or concoctions.

CRAVINGS DURING PREGNANCY!

Cravings are normal in pregnancy because that's the first wave of hormone changes in your body and it's perfectly normal not to have any cravings at all.

Old wives'tale says craving for salt, potato chips, pretzels, and popcorn means a boy is on the way and if you crave for sweets, ice cream, chocolate, and candy means you're having a girl.

What are the usual and unusual things you crave for as you are pregnant now?

★FRUITS TO AVOID DURING BREASTFEEDING THAT WILL SHOCK YOU★

Did you know that there are fruits to avoid while breastfeeding?If you are a fruit lover, read this:

Common fruits to avoid while breastfeeding!

★Citrus Fruits like:
Lime
Kiwi fruits
Tangerine
Strawberries
Pineapples
Oranges
Grapes
Cherries
Prunes

Citrus fruits add a sharp strong flavor to your breast milk. Some babies might object to the taste of it, and get fussy while consuming it. Other babies may vomit. Sometimes, your baby may also develop diaper rashes as a result of the citrus content in breast milk. Citrus fruits contain many acidic compounds and can lead to irritation of the gastrointestinal tract (GI) in children.

It is quite common for newborn babies to suffer from gas due to their newly developing digestive system.

Also avoid the following foods which can also lead to gastrointestinal problems and may also trigger allergies in babies:
√Caffeine and Chocolate, Alcohol
√Eggs, Soy, Fish
√Peanuts, Garlic, Wheat

★★IS IT HARMFUL TO EAT EGGS DURING PREGNANCY★★

Eggs are a source of nutrients which makes them a superfood which are very essential for pregnant women. They possess necessary nutrients in the form of fats, minerals, protein, vitamins A and D.

BENEFITS OF EATING EGGS DURING PREGNANCY!!

√It is rich in protein
√Brain development
√Regulates cholesterol
√Right amount of calories

RISK ASSOCIATED WITH EGGS is Salmonella Poisoning which could cause:

√Abdominal pain
√Diarrhea and severe vomiting
√High temperature
√Headache

★HOW MANY EGGS CAN A PREGNANCT WOMAN EAT?

During pregnancy, eating two eggs a day may put you over the recommended amount of cholesterol, and this does not take into account of any other cholesterol foods you have taken for the day.

Eating one to two eggs in most days a week is not harmful. However, if you are overweight or suffering from high cholesterol, eating eggs every day may increase the risk of complications.

HOW TO COOK EGG AND STAY AWAY FROM SALMONELLA POISONING!!

√Take a medium sized egg and boil it for about seven minutes.

√You can fry the egg slightly on both sides then poach it until the white turns opaque and yolk turns firm. It should take about five minutes.

If you prefer eating outside, be careful with some foods containing eggs. They may contain raw eggs, that may be partially cooked or not cooked, which can cause food poisoning.

FOODS CONTAINING RAW EGGS!

Hollandaise
Homemade mayonnaise
Icing
Ice cream
Mousse
Salad dressings
Sauces

Supermarket mayonnaise is again safe to eat as it is made of pasteurized eggs.

★★MAINTAIN GOOD SLEEPING HABIT DURING PREGNANCY★★

Sleeping while pregnant can be difficult. Having a baby bump can make it hard to get into a cozy position. Also, nausea, heartburn, and frequent urination can keep you up at night.

If you're having trouble sleeping during pregnancy, there are steps you can take to improve the quality of your sleep.

★STEPS TO IMPROVE YOUR QUALITY OF SLEEP★
1. Sleep in the position that is most comfortable for you:
Avoid lying on your back after the first trimester. This position puts pressure on a major vein, your vena cava, and can decrease blood flow to your brain, heart, and uterus. This can make you feel dizzy or have shortness of breath.

2. Use pillows for support:
You can use a pillow for support in a variety of ways. Use a firm, strong pillow that can support a lot of weight.
Try placing a pillow between your knees or tucking it under your abdomen. You may also want to keep a pillow behind your back. This can increase comfort when sleeping.
Consider purchasing a specialty pregnancy pillow. These are pillows specifically designed to support the bodies of pregnant women. A pregnancy pillow may work better for your needs than a regular pillows.

3. Elevate your head:
Heartburn is a frequent problem for pregnant women. You can lessen the symptoms of heartburn by elevating your head during sleep by simply propping up your head on a pillow before sleeping off.

You should work on finding a good sleep position each night. You should also form a sleep routine to signal to your mind and body when it's time to rest. Lastly, make certain lifestyle changes, like exercising regularly and eating right, that promote solid sleep.

I hope you all find my post educative. Pregnant mamas come In let's talk

Note: all post are copied

★★HOW TO AVOID BIG BABY DURING PREGNANCY★★

Big baby does not help especially during labour and delivery. Why would you expect to have a vagina delivery with a baby weighing 4-5kg especially if it's your first pregnancy?

Big baby leads to many complications during labour and delivery, which includes:

★Prolong labour which might put baby into distress or having what's called caput
★Shoulder distocia
★Cervical tear
★Perineal tear
★Excessive bleeding from the above tears.
★Excessive weakness from the mother which could make her not to push out the baby
★This could also lead to C-Section if the mother is unable to push out the head of her baby.

CRAVINGS ARE BIG CULPRIT:
Obey cravings in moderation. It is not clear why pregnancy cravings happen. Some people think cravings may be your body asking for nutrients that it needs. Pregnancy cravings are normal, and you can learn the best way to satisfy them.

If you simply can’t resist a calling for chocolate cake, ice cream, cheese fries, or another unhealthy food, have a small serving size to satisfy your craving without mindlessly consuming the entire serving.

By measuring out a small portion and putting the rest out of sight, you can reduce the chances of reaching for a second helping.

Often, a few small and mindful bites can be just as satisfying as an entire serving, without the eventual guilt or weight gain.

Avoid sugar and sugar added products
Avoid flour and flour products
Avoid fizzy drink (soft drinks)
Drink more water
