How to take care of your breasts during & after pregnancy that is before and during before breast feeding?

Asked by dranil in Parenting at 7:38 PM on December 11, 2007

Jassi Arora's Answer

By the third or fourth day of breastfeeding, your milk will change from colostrums to what looks more like skim milk. Your breasts will also go from feeling soft to firm. If your nipples leak, use a nursing pad. These pads come disposable and machine washable. Be sure to change these often. Do not use plastic-lined pads because they will prevent air from circulating around your nipples. Also make sure to air dry your nipples a little each day; this keeps moisture from building up and less chance for infection. Between feedings, gently pat your nipples dry. This helps prevent them from getting irritated. You may also want to apply a little expressed colostrums, human milk, or medical grade modified lanolin on your nipples to prevent dryness.

What is let down reflex? How is it connected to the fact of knowing adecquacy of breast feeding?

Asked by dranil in Parenting at 7:37 PM on December 11, 2007

Jassi Arora's Answer

A few seconds to several minutes after you start breastfeeding, you may feel a tingle in your breast, and milk may start to drip from the breast not being used. These are signs that your milk has "let-down." This means your milk is ready to flow. This let-down reflex makes breast feeding easier for your baby. Let-down may also occur if a feeding is overdue, if you hear your baby cry or even if you think about your baby. Let-down can be forceful enough to cause your baby to cough. If this is a problem, you can express some of your milk by hand before a feeding to bring on the let-down reflex before you start breastfeeding.

Do you know what preparations are to be made by a would be mother during her pregnancy?

Asked by dranil in Parenting at 7:28 PM on December 11, 2007

Jassi Arora's Answer

Visit your health care provider. She will give you a physical examination. She can test for Rh factor and immunity to certain viruses, such as rubella and Hepatitis B. She can also take your family medical history, and help determine whether there may be factors that will make yours a high risk pregnancy. - Begin a folic acid regimen. Because your body will need 3-4 times the normal amount of folic acid, you can begin preparing your body by taking a supplement now. - start, or continue, an exercise regimen. By doing this, you will be in better general shape, and can continue to do appropriate exercising during pregnancy. - If you smoke, quit now. If not, don’t start. Smoking may affect your ability to get pregant. - Give up alcohol now, in preparation for pregnancy. - Begin weaning yourself from caffeine, or at least reducing your caffeine intake. Caffeine may also affect your ability to become pregnant.

How to keep well & healthy during your pregnancy?

Asked by dranil in Parenting at 7:30 PM on December 11, 2007

Jassi Arora's Answer

Almost all pregnant women need to increase their intake of protein, certain vitamins and minerals such as folic acid and iron, and calories (for energy). If your diet is poor to begin with you'll want to make the transition to eating nutritious, well-balanced meals. Limit junk food, since it offers little more than empty calories. But eating better doesn't mean eating more — or rather, much more. Surprisingly, you need only about 300 calories more per day, for a total of about 2,500 calories.
