For some people, when it comes to breastfeeding, there is no question as to if they would be taking care of their children in this manner. No, they take it for granted that they would be doing just that.
While on the other hand for some, it is a question that they need to think about and, sometimes, they may choose not to nurse their child because of medical reasons, work and sometimes, fear, because of misinformation.
Yes, some of us do and some of us don't and for those of us who have chosen to nurse our children, we have made a decision that requires commitment, for indeed, although it is simple enough for us to do, it is not always easy.
For example, late in the night, when we could barely open our eyes, they are calling for us because of hunger and other reasons.
Nevertheless, we get up and attend to them. Therefore, as we are taking care of them, we also need to take care of ourselves and some of the things that we could do to help in keeping healthy are:
Eat, Drink & Sleep
This is a given, nevertheless, it is worth mentioning here because it is so important and that is, we should eat "properly," drink enough liquid and sleep as often as we could.
There are some foods, such as oatmeal that is said to be very helpful in the quantity supply of milk. Therefore, since these foods are helping with the quantity, the little less the body would need to work in the supplying of it.
Additionally, drinking a lot of liquid, especially water, should keep us well hydrated and as for sleep, well, we should not push ourselves to the point of tiredness before we decide to rest.
Nurse Regularly
Occasionally, we may be faced with engrossed breast and for some mothers this could come with a high temperature, followed by the chills and other ill-like symptoms. However, we could help to reduce this by nursing the baby regularly and by making sure that both breasts are practically empty before taking him/her off them. Nevertheless, if we still find ourselves with this condition, before the high temperature steps in, pumping some of it out and taking a warm shower would be helpful in reducing it.
Of course, a medical practitioner will be able to explain more about this, therefore, talking to those in this field is highly recommended.
Comfortable Clothing
It is not a good idea to wear clothing that would cause the breast to be uncomfortable and this would begin with our bras. This does not only squeeze the breasts, but it also helps to close the pours and it keeps air circulation to a minimum, thereby, causing the body, to overheat, among other things.
