Exclusive breastfeeding

The best food for infants during the first six months of life is breast milk ...

We all know that since 2001, the World Health Organization (WHO), (Unicef), and many health institutions in various countries around the world have recommended exclusive breastfeeding for six months. This is because breast milk is very beneficial for babies, as well as at the age of six first months of baby's digestive system is only suitable breast-fed. Many programs have been created by the Institute of Health to conduct a campaign of EXCLUSIVE breastfeeding for six months, for example through hospital-hospitals, clinics and others.
This is done so that we only give milk to babies from birth to age six months, so it should not give any food or drink other than breast milk. If we give food or drink to the baby such as water or baby formula, then exclusive breastfeeding is considered a failure! Why should only breast milk alone? Is that nutrients contained in breast milk can be optimally absorbed by the baby without being distracted by other food.

 Best Source of Nutrition For Babies

Breastmilk is the food / beverage of high nutritional value that is suitable for infant growth. Breast milk contains lactose which is the source of energy and was instrumental in the development of the nervous system; fat containing linoleic acid and linolenic acid Alda will be processed by the baby's body into AA and DHA is essential for brain growth in infants; oligosaccharides that are critical to improving the health of the baby's digestive , and protein having the function of brain structures as well as forming the baby's growth.
In the early stages of baby's life, breast milk is not only as a supplier of nutrients for infants. But breastfeeding can protect babies from diarrhea, sudden death (Suddent infact Death Syndrome / SIDS), various infectious diseases and breast milk can also help smooth the process of digestion in the body of the baby. Even milk can prevent infants from various allergies. Because the body's digestive system in infants has not been strong and is only just able to digest milk so if given other foods is feared there will be proteins that directly absorbed into the blood vessel, because of the small intestine tissue in infants is usually such as sand filters. This is the future can lead to allergies in infants.
According to WHO, breast milk is the most ideal food for babies, there is no food that abortion is more complete than mother's milk provides a wide range of nutrients at once. So, the best source of nutrition for babies is breast milk!

Breastmilk Storage Bag

Expressing breast milk from work takes a lot of time and dedication, so anything that will make the process easier is appreciated by moms. Storing milk in bottles takes up valuable freezer space and means that you have to keep purchasing more and more bottles to build up your stash of food for baby. These plastic breast milk storage bags come pre-sterilized, and are easy to carry around--as they’re not much bigger than a travel pack of tissues. In fact, they come in a tissue-style dispenser, making them easy to access and store. Each bag stores up to 6 ounces, or 180 milliliters of milk, and seals tightly to preserve freshness. Bags lay flat in the freezer saving plenty of space for more milk or other foods. Milk transfers easily from bag to bottle with no spillage. A tab above the fill area lets you write the express date, volume of milk, and the name of your child (in case you are handing it off to a busy daycare provider for feedings) on the bag without worry that you may puncture and contaminate your milk with ink. For moms who have to temporarily store their milk in a busy office refrigerator, a tamper-evident safety seal on each bag informs you if someone has been in your supply. Each box includes 25 storage bags. --Cristina Vaamonde

Medela Pump in Style Advanced Breast Pump with On the Go Tote

Medela Pump in Style Advanced Breast Pump with On the Go Tote
 

 I was using the Medela Lactina pump till I decided whether or not I would be pumping at work. I want to first make sure that I could pump enough milk to support my little one. When I knew I could pump enough my first concern was my supply dropping when I switched pumps. My lactation consultant recommended this pump to me, so of course it was the one that I bought. Its at a great price and the pump is amazing. I love the bag. The supplies that I use everyday at work fit in it nicely and so cooler bag with ice packs and two bottles. I didn't want a bag that was so small that I would end up carrying two by the end of the day. Its really nice and light and is made from really nice fabrics. With the Lactina it was taking me 10 minutes to pump the amount I needed for each session, with this pump sometimes it only takes me 6 minutes to get the same amount I pumped in 10!!!! I pump 3 times a day and this pump does not bother me or make me sore by the third pumping session The medela ice pack is also great, with the Lactina, I used a different cooler with ice packs and my milk was starting to get a little more warm than I liked by the time I got home to put it in my freezer. With the medela cooler and ice pack my milk is so cold its like I had it in a mini fridge!!! This pump is well worth the money especially if you are planning to pump for several months several times a day. I'm so glad I bought this pump.

Early Initiation of Suckling

Because in addition to breast milk should not be given any food to infants until the age of six months, since the new-born babies should be introduced to breast milk. One way is being aggressively campaigned by innumerable Institutes of Health is the Initiation of Early Suckling, which provides the opportunity for a newborn to be able to suckle his mother. By the way: the baby is placed on the mother's abdomen, then on their own baby's mother left for the nipple. Basically all babies have a basic instinct to suckle, so that within a few minutes later the baby will find the nipple and suck it.
Early Initiation of Suckling can provide excellent benefits to newborns. By making the baby's strenuous efforts to get the nipple, it will be able to make a baby grow into a child who is tough. Babies also will feel closer to her mother for the first skin of the baby and the mother's touch is the skin of the person who first feeding (breast milk) is a mother too.
At first feeding, the baby is getting colostrum, which is a nutrient to increase endurance in a more optimal infant.
After the milk is given according to the wishes and needs of the baby (on demand), then each request breastfed infants, mothers should breast feed them. Not required schedule when your baby should drink breast milk. Whenever asked for breastfeeding infants, mothers should give. Because sometimes babies do not drink milk that much but it's been asleep, then woke up again sbentar want milk. And sometimes there are babies who sleep in a long time so that the wake-up time should suckle for a long time also because of thirst.
Especially for a newborn, especially the age of 1-14 days should be given breast milk every 1-2 hours. This is to keep the baby's immune system is awake, the baby's needs will be met and liquid baby's bilirubin levels under control.

How do the Initiation of Early Suckling?

So that mothers can do the Initiation of Early Suckling properly, it should consult with a physician. More importantly it takes patience and earnestness the mother to do the Initiation of Early Suckling. This is the stage that must be done:
• Newborns are dried as necessary without removing vernix (white layer) due to vernix serve to protect baby's skin in order to remain comfortable.
• Place baby on mother's abdomen or chest so that baby feels warmer in the mother's arms.
• Let your baby find its own mother's nipple. Do not force baby to quickly find your nipples because the baby had a basic instinct for itself. Usually takes 15-30 minutes.
• Give a few minutes when the baby's skin in contact with the skin of the mother to suckle the process is complete.
• Once the baby is finished nursing freshly cleaned.

Ameda Purely Yours Ultra Breast Pump



This is the only pump I've tried but it has worked great for me and I've been using it for 5 months so far. The pump is plenty powerful enough that I can express plenty of milk for my baby while I am at work. I really liked the idea of this pump because of the closed system which means you don't have to wash the tubing because it does not ever have any condensation. I was afraid of using the Medela because of the fact that is an open system and they say you can spread diseases if you share between people. I don't plan on sharing my pump but if I were to get sick, would I have to be afraid I contaminated the pump? The Ameda pump is a closed system so this is not a risk. Also, the Ameda pump is much less expensive than the Medela which I cannot figure out why.

I have not used this pump with the batteries or the car adapter although I like having those options just in case I am ever stuck somewhere without my baby.

I have only a few minor issues with the Ameda system which are not directly related to the pump itself. 1. They do not make nipples for their bottles. I have tried some other standard size nipples but they were too small for my baby since he was used to breastfeeding. Medela makes some wide based nipples to use with their pumping bottles and I actually bought them and the medela bottles fit fine to the Ameda pump. 2. My other issue is that I was pumping more than 4 oz from each side but the bottles only hold 4 oz. So, again, I bought the larger Medela bottles that hold 8 oz and use them with my Ameda pump. If Ameda made items such as these I would have been happier since they would have been made specifically for my pump, but the Medela items work fine.
