How to tell if your newborn is getting enough milk: How often should I feed my newborn baby?

Let your baby be your guide, and feed him as often as he wants to feed. There's no need to set up a breastfeeding routine during the first few days and weeks.

On the first day, your baby will probably feed at least three to four times. After the first sleepy day or two have passed, your baby may seem hungry most of the time. And he probably is, since he'll digest a feed within a couple of hours.

At this point, your baby will probably want to breastfeed at least eight times a day. Though he could feed a lot more than that, such as every hour or so . By the end of the first week, his feeds will probably have settled down to six to eight a day.

There's no maximum number of feeds a day when you're demand-feeding in the early days and weeks. The more your baby feeds, the more milk your breasts will be stimulated to produce .

It's normal for newborn babies to want to feed very frequently. If you meet your baby's demands by offering your breast, you'll produce more milk. Topping-up with formula during the first six weeks can reduce your milk supply, as your body won't get the signals from your baby feeding to make more milk.

Breastfeeding for beginners: Can I breastfeed after I go back to work?

If you're going back to work, it doesn't mean you have to stop breastfeeding. If your workplace has a nursery, you may be able to visit your baby during the working day, and breastfeed her as usual.

If you can't visit your baby during the day, you may want to express milk. Or you may choose to breastfeed only when you are with your baby, and give her formula milk during the day (mixed feeding).

Let your employer know in writing if you want to breastfeed after you return to work, so a risk assessment can be carried out. This is to make sure that your workplace is safe for a breastfeeding mum.

It's good news for employers, too. Mums who are supported to carry on breastfeeding after they return to work take less time off. And some research suggests that exclusively breastfed babies are less likely to be ill than babies who are formula-fed.

Breastfeeding for beginners: What should I buy for breastfeeding?

Buy at least two or three comfortable breastfeeding or nursing bras so your breasts are properly supported. These have hooks or zips that you can easily undo when your baby needs to feed.

Make sure that your bras fit properly, and that any flaps open completely. If only a small part of your breast is exposed, the bra may press on breast tissue and lead to blocked ducts or mastitis.

You may prefer to wait to buy bras until after your baby is born, to make sure that they will fit you perfectly. But bear in mind that getting out of the house with a newborn isn't easy, so think about going in late pregnancy. Many department stores have staff who are trained to fit nursing bras after 36 weeks of pregnancy.

You may find that your breasts have a tendency to leak, as even another baby's cry or the sight of a baby can stimulate milk flow. Keep a supply of washable or disposable breast pads handy, and consider buying a light-weight nursing bra for night-time, so you can wear breast pads while you sleep. If you're planning to express your breastmilk, you may want to consider buying a breast pump.

Breastfeeding for beginners: How do I start breastfeeding?

How can I prepare for breastfeeding?

Staying healthy is as much as you can do to prepare your body for breastfeeding. But learning as much as you can about breastfeeding before your baby is born will help you when the time comes.

Read how to prepare for breastfeeding, and encourage your partner to learn about it too, so he's ready to support you.

How do I start breastfeeding?

Feeds can take anything from five minutes to 40 minutes, so find a comfortable place before you start. In the early days of breastfeeding, when you're still trying to get the hang of it, creating the right atmosphere is important.

If you're easily distracted by noise, find somewhere quiet. If you tend to get bored, you may want to feed with the radio or television on, but only if breastfeeding is going well. Try different spots until you find what works for you.

Hold your baby in a position that won't make your arms and back ache. Have cushions or pillows nearby to support you or your baby. Laid-back breastfeeding involves lying on your back, so that your baby can rest on your body, while your hands are free to support her. Or try the cradle hold, which means cradling your baby across your chest, raised up on a cushion or pillow. It depends on what's most comfortable for you.

Get yourself and your baby in a relaxed position before you start feeding. Pay attention to how your breasts feel when your baby latches on. She should take in a big mouthful of breast tissue.

If you have large breasts, you may find it more comfortable to lie on your side while feeding, or you may want to try holding your baby under your arm in a rugby ball position.

If latching on hurts, break the suction by gently inserting your little finger between your baby's gums and your nipple, and try again. Once your baby latches on properly, she'll be able to do the rest.

Breastfeeding for beginners: How long will I be breastfeeding for?

The Department of Health recommends that your baby has only breastmilk for the first six months of her life. It also recommends that you carry on breastfeeding after your baby has started on solid foods, until the end of her first year and beyond, if you'd like to.

Continuing to breastfeed while introducing solid foods to your baby may benefit her immune system. She may also be less likely to develop health conditions such as coeliac disease and type 1 diabetes.

Most mums aim to breastfeed for between three months and 12 months, and some choose to breastfeed beyond the first year (extended breastfeeding). A lot depends on your individual circumstances and how you feel about it.

Breastfeeding for beginners: Is it true that breast milk is the best?

If you've just started breastfeeding, you're doing the right thing for you and your baby.

But if breastfeeding doesn't come naturally at first, don't worry. Plenty of new mums and babies have to practise and persevere until they get the hang of it.

Is it true that breast is best?

Yes, breastmilk is the best food for your baby. It's the healthiest way to feed her.

Breastmilk is a complete food. It contains at least 400 nutrients, as well as hormones and disease-fighting compounds, that aren't present in formula milk. Its nutritional makeup even adjusts to your baby's needs as she grows.

Feeding your baby only breastmilk for up to six months (exclusive breastfeeding) is particularly good for her. It can improve your baby’s cognitive development. So being breastfed could even make her more intelligent.

Babies who are exclusively breastfed from birth are also much less likely to be ill in their first year of life. Being breastfed may help your baby to fend off illnesses such as:

• gastroenteritis
• pneumonia and bronchiolitis
• ear infections

We can't say that exclusive breastfeeding reduces the risk of children ever developing eczema. But babies who are breastfed for any period of time do tend to have lower rates of severe eczema than babies who were always formula-fed. It's also possible that breastfeeding delays when your child first develops eczema.

Breastfeeding helps to build a special bond between you and your baby. And in the long-term, breastfeeding may help your baby to stay healthy. Studies have shown that adults who were breastfed as babies, when compared with those who were formula-fed:

• had lower blood pressure
• had lower cholesterol levels
• were less likely to become obese
• were less likely to develop type 2 diabetes

Breastfeeding is good for you, too, and may help you to lose weight. In the long term, it also helps to:

• lower your risk of breast cancer
• protect against ovarian cancer before the menopause
• reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes

婆媳的相处之道

最近听到一些身边女性朋友以及网友对另一半的家人的不满与抱怨，而她们的共同点都是婆婆在帮忙照顾小孩。

其实，我认为，有个婆婆为我们照顾孩子，是天赐的福分。有一点我们可以非常肯定的是，婆婆绝对不会虐待我们的孩子（除非，有其他的特殊状况）。我们的宝贝孩子就是她们的宝贝孙子耶！当我们在为生活打拼赚钱养家的时候，如果为你照顾小孩的是外籍帮佣，或者是其他的保姆，试问，我们还能安心及专心的工作吗？我很肯定我不能。尤其身边三不五时的出现孩子被帮佣/保姆虐待或疏忽照顾的新闻。只有婆婆才会全心全意地看顾我们的宝贝，因为那是我们大家共同的宝贝。

有的女性朋友，由于吸收了过量的网络资讯，就认定自己所吸取的‘知识’才是真理，强逼性的要身边的人，包括丈夫，去实行自己认为对的那一套。妈妈们，网络上的资讯，有多少是经过专业的鉴定啊？又有多少是适合亚洲人的生活习性呢？有多少是正的可行呢？我们都不知道，也很少去查证这些资讯的真实与可靠性。但是，婆婆至少带大了我们的丈夫，有实际的经验去把一个宝贝给拉拔长大。

当然，一些老旧的风俗习惯是我们年轻一代所无法接受的，但是我们可以尝试去与她们沟通，了解她们的动机，再把自己的看法与她们分享，教导她们一些新的事物，来取代那些我们不能接受的习惯。耐心的对待这位牺牲了自己的空闲时间来为我们照顾孩子的家人。试想想，她们大可不帮我们呀！让我们花更多的金钱与时间把宝贝送去给托儿所或保姆家，然后带着忐忑的心情去工作，对吗？ 可能你会觉得花点钱，就可以不用看婆婆的脸色，但是，托儿所或保姆真的会真心为你看顾宝贝吗？不是不会，但是肯定无法全心全意，100%投入，因为要看顾的孩子不止一个，如何能够全心全意啊？

其实，我们真的需要重新检讨我们对待家人的态度。想想，为什么我们能够对陌生人或朋友以礼相待，但是，对待自己的家人时，却忽略了该有的礼貌呢？很多人会说，我们把最真的那一面呈现在家人面前。对，所以，你最真的那一面就是没耐心，没礼貌，坏脾气，不讲理，不懂感恩，咄咄逼人？家人才是我们应该用心去对待的人。朋友，有多少是能够与我们风雨同路的呢？不多，可能完全没有。但是，家人往往会陪着我们走，在不同的情况下，甚至会愿意牺牲他们的时间与金钱。

婆婆，是我们丈夫的妈妈。也就是我们的妈妈。就算是我们自己的妈妈，相处之间也免不了会有摩擦，更何况是一个我们结婚前，一个月只见可能一次的妈妈呢？多给一点爱和时间，好好的经营婆媳之间的关系。真的有问题的话，去面对它，面对面把问题说开来，面对面地把问题给解决掉。不要把问题放上网，让别人去讨论或八卦，这样不但解决不了问题，甚至会把问题给搞大及复杂化。通常，放上网后，又有几个留言是帮你解决问题的呢？几率几乎是零。网友们只会热衷的分享她们和你一样的问题，然后你的朋友们，就会在你的背后热烈的讨论你的问题，然后，你的家人会对你‘另眼相看’。问题呢？依然没有解决，还有可能恶化。记得曾经看过一张照片，上面写着“If you have a problem, FACE it, don't FACEBOOK it!”　当时真的觉得这句话说得太好了！我们当然可以在社交网站中分享我们的一点一滴，但是，真的有必要把问题宣告给那些陌生人吗？

最后，奉劝各位姐妹们：“忍一时，风平浪静；退一步，海阔天空。”。记住这句金玉良言吧！解决方案？用爱，真心的爱，去打开彼此的心房，抛开成见，好好的沟通。接受身边的人与自己的不同。记住，这个世界上，不可能有第二个我们，所以，不要要求婆婆可以和我们一样，有一样的想法，一样的做法。与其改变他人，不如我们改变自己吧！

Establishing good sleep habits: newborn to three months

What sleep problems happen at this age?

In your baby's first few months, you may have to resign yourself to quite a few disturbed nights. In the first few weeks you may find that swaddling your baby helps to send him to sleep.

You may worry about the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) during these first few months, but there are ways to reduce this risk.

懲罰寶寶十個方法，很實用！

懲罰寶寶，是每個父母培養孩子、糾正孩子錯誤的方式之一。俗話說得好，沒有規矩不成方圓，孩子犯錯誤，自然需要父母的教育和懲罰。但懲罰寶寶也要講求科學方式，一旦懲罰不當，不但對寶寶的行為起不到規範作用，更可能使寶寶的行為逆向發展。如何在家庭教育中有效懲罰寶寶，下面十個方法科學又智慧。

1、規勸桉例：與同伴吵架、搶奪玩具…… 方式：先放下手邊的工作，並走到孩子身旁，讓孩子知道你正在注意和關注;然後詢問孩子爭執、吵架的原因，並耐心聽完孩子的想法;灌輸孩子打人、搶奪是不正確的行為和觀念，並要求孩子學習說“請、謝謝、對不起”。

建議：勿以很大聲音去壓住或威脅孩子;勿直接將孩子拉開，然後大聲訓斥孩子不是;言語間避免傷孩子的自尊心。

2、打手心桉例：打架、亂丟東西…… 方式：用報紙製作一紙棒，外觀可包上一層裝紙;賦予它一個名稱，如警惕棒、陳家棒……;放在固定的地方作為警惕。

建議：在心情好的時候製作，可與孩子一起討論製作警惕棒的原因;處罰孩子時，先讓他說出自己錯在什麼地方;提醒處罰的原因;注意安全問題，打的部位以手心、屁股為主，其他部位則應避免。

3、罰坐桉例：吵鬧不休、吵架…… 方式：在處罰區上擺上軟墊或一張椅子，可取個名字;準備鬧鐘或時鐘，計時處罰時間。

建議：處罰地點不正對大門、不在太明顯地方;限制處罰時間，或讓孩子講處罰多久的時間;處罰完後，讓孩子說出今天被處罰的原因。

4、幫忙做家務桉例：亂畫，亂丟東西、玩具…… 方式：準備一條抹布、掃把、盆子等清潔用具，讓孩子學習清理和養成整潔的習慣。

建議：父母應隨時注意孩子的安全;較小的幼兒可由父母一起帶領做家事;訓練孩子養成物歸原處的習慣;詢問孩子在幫忙家事時學習到什麼。

5、畫畫桉例：喜歡罵人、抓人、踢人、咬人等小動作。方式：依家庭的情況，在固定處擺放一張小桌子(此處罰桌最好不要是平常使用到的書桌、餐桌、客桌等，以免孩子日後使用到這些桌子時，會產生害怕、恐懼的心理);準備一本畫冊及顏色不同的畫筆，讓孩子畫出、寫出心中的想法。

建議：當孩子有受傷時，先處理受傷部位再處罰;讓孩子將發生的時間和做錯的事情畫下來;大人先控制自己的情緒，可從孩子的畫中瞭解到，孩子犯錯的心理想法;此為藝術治療法，較不會傷害到孩子自尊心。

6、罰站桉例：故意從高處往下跳，車上跑跑跳跳。方式：在家中規劃一個處罰區，可取個名字，地點以靠牆壁、不正對大門為主;地上鋪上軟墊;準備一個時鐘或鬧鐘，計時孩子處罰的時間。

建議：處罰地點不宜太明顯或正對大門，以免傷及孩子自尊;與孩子講處罰時間不宜太久，否則會造成孩子更頑皮的反效果;視孩子的高度來決定墊子高度;處罰完後，詢問孩子被處罰原因，讓孩子自己知道做錯的原因。

7、看書、寫字桉例：暴力傾向、說謊、順手牽羊…… 方式：選擇固定處罰區鋪上軟墊或擺放小桌子;在處罰區裡面放鉛筆、畫紙、彩色筆、故事書、色紙……;讓孩子自己先寫字或看書，化解孩子憤怒的情緒。

建議：當不能馬上放下的工作時，可先叫孩子到處罰區去反省;別怒斥孩子的不是，與孩子先隔離，緩和彼此的情緒;等情緒平復後，詢問孩子犯錯的動機。

8、沒收心愛的東西桉例：吵鬧不休、亂丟東西、不收玩具…… 方式：將孩子亂丟的物品予以沒收，作為懲罰。

建議：先放下手邊的工作，並走到孩子身旁，讓孩子知道媽媽正在注意和關注;告訴孩子將亂丟的物品收好、停止吵鬧，否則將有所處罰;讓孩子說出為什麼犯錯，和媽媽生氣的原因。

9、排豆子桉例：針對耐心不足，亂丟東西等情況。方式：準備一個盒子、盤子，裡面有紅色、綠色等彩色的珠，幾個塑膠罐子;讓孩子在處罰桌上，將各種顏色的珠，擺放在正確位置。

建議：如果孩子本身很叛逆，視情況針對孩子修改來處理，可先罰站、罰坐再做處罰;此目的在訓練孩子養成物歸原處的習慣;可訓練手眼協調、分辨能力;完成後，讓孩子知道被處罰的原因。

10、禁止某些權利、要求桉例：不愛刷牙、挑食、亂丟東西…… 方式：將孩子愛吃、愛玩的東西暫時禁止碰觸，作為懲罰。

建議：不以威脅、憤怒的態度大聲對孩子說;讓孩子知道禁止這些權利的原因，當孩子日後表現佳時，恢復其權利。

Establishing good sleep habits: newborn to three months

Give him a chance to fall asleep on his own

When your baby's between six weeks and eight weeks old, you can teach him how to fall asleep on his own. Put him down when he's sleepy, but still awake. Stay with him if you wish, but be prepared to do the same every time he wakes at night.

How you settle your baby to sleep is important. If you rock him to sleep every night for the first eight weeks, he will expect the same later on. If you leave him alone to sleep, he will expect that, too.

Some experts advise against rocking or feeding your baby to sleep. It's up to you to decide what sort of routine best suits you and your baby.

If you want to establish a predictable pattern, you'll need to adopt the same strategy every night.

Establishing good sleep habits: newborn to three months

Teach him the difference between night and day

Your baby may be a night owl and still be wide awake when you're ready to turn in. Once your baby is about two weeks old, you can start to teach him the difference between night and day.

In the daytime, when he's alert:

• Change his clothes when he wakes to signal the start of a new day.
• Play with him as much as you can.
• Make daytime feeds social. Chat and sing as you feed him.
• Keep the house and his room light and bright.
• Let him hear everyday noises, such as the radio or washing machine.
• Wake him gently if he nods off during a feed.
• At night-time:
• Stay quiet when you feed him.
• Keep lights and noise low, and don't talk to him too much.
• Change him into his pyjamas to signal the end of the day.

All this should help your baby to start to understand that night-time is for sleeping.

Good Friday

Minicko wishes all a very blessed Good Friday.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.(John 3:16-17, NKJV)

Establishing good sleep habits: newborn to three months

How should I encourage good sleep habits?

Your baby can develop good sleep habits from as early as six weeks. Here are a few tactics you can use to help your baby to settle.

Recognise the signs that mean he's tired

For the first six weeks to eight weeks, your baby probably won't be able to stay up for more than two hours at a time. If you wait much longer than that to put him down, he'll be overtired and won't nod off easily.

During your baby's first three months, learn the signs that he's sleepy, such as if he:

-       rubs his eyes

-          flicks his ear with his hand

-          develops faint, dark circles under his eyes

-          whines and cries at the slightest provocation

-          stares blankly into space

-          yawns and stretches a lot

-          loses interest in people and his toys

-          becomes quiet and still

He may also turn his face away from moving objects or people, or bury his face in your chest.

If you spot these or any other signs of sleepiness, try putting him down in his cot or Moses basket. You'll soon develop a sixth sense about your baby's daily rhythms and patterns, and know instinctively when he's ready for a nap.

Establishing good sleep habits: newborn to three months

What will my baby's sleep pattern be?

Newborn babies sleep a lot. Expect your baby to be asleep for up to 18 hours over the course of 24 hours in his first few weeks. But he won't sleep for more than three hours or four hours at a time, day or night. This unfortunately means that you and your partner can expect some sleepless nights, especially at first.

This is a necessary phase for your baby and it won't last long, though it may seem like an eternity while you're sleep-deprived.

Your baby’s sleep cycles are far shorter than yours. He'll spend more time in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which is a light, easily disturbed sleep. This is necessary for the changes that are happening in his brain.

Once he is between six weeks and eight weeks your baby will probably sleep for shorter spells during the day and longer periods at night. But he'll still wake up to feed during the night. He'll have more deep, non-REM sleep and less light sleep.

It's possible that your baby may sleep through the night at eight weeks old. But it's more likely that your nights will be interrupted for at least the first few months. If your aim is to get your baby to sleep through the night, encouraging clear habits from the start will help.

Can I store my baby’s feed for her to finish later?

Unless you're using ready-made milk, always make a fresh feed for your baby. Don't store bottles of baby formula milk that you've already made. This is because bacteria can grow rapidly in formula milk kept at room temperature and can grow slowly in the fridge.

Having said that, there may be times when you just have to make up a feed in advance and keep it in the fridge. This may be the case if you have twins, or if you're out for the day, or your baby goes to childcare. Read more about storing formula in the fridge safely. Your midwifeand health visitor can also give you practical tips on how to cope.

When your baby has finished feeding, throw away any leftover formula. If your baby hasn’t fed from a bottle at all, throw it away within two hours. It may seem a waste, but it's healthier and safer for your baby that way.

How do I use ready-made formula milk?

You can buy ready-made formula milk in cartons. These are more expensive than powder formula, but they can save time and are convenient when you're out and about.

All you need to do is pour as much as you need into a sterilised bottle, and warm it up. Or you could just give it to your baby at room temperature if she likes it like this. When you open the packet, make sure that your hands are clean and you use clean scissors, if you need to.

If there's any ready-made formula left in the carton, use it within 24 hours. Make sure the cut corner is folded down and store the carton in the main part of the fridge where it’s coldest. The temperature of the fridge should be five degrees C or less.

How do I make my baby’s feed?

It's essential that you measure the milk powder and water accurately. If the feed is too weak, your baby will be hungry and won’t put on weight. If the feed is too strong, your baby will become very thirsty and dehydrated.

To make formula feed for your baby, follow these steps:

- Fill the kettle with fresh tap water. Don’t use artificially softened water, which will be too salty, or water that has already been boiled before. Only use bottled water if you’re abroad. A change in tap water could give your baby a tummy upset, because of the difference in minerals and purifying chemicals in the water. If you are having to use bottled water, you'll still need to boil it first.

- Bring the water to the boil and allow it to cool for no more than 30 minutes. It needs to be hot enough to kill any bacteria in the powder, but not boiling hot. If you have a thermometer, the water should be at least 70 degrees C. Take care, though, as that’s still hot enough to scald you.

- Read the instructions on the formula packet to check the amount of water needed for each bottle and the number of scoops of powder to use.

- Pour the required amount of water into the bottle. It's important to put the water in first, because you need to measure it accurately.

- Stand the bottle on the countertop and crouch down to check the water level. This way you can see if the water level is actually in line with the mark on the side of the bottle.

- Add the right number of scoops of powder to the bottle using the scoop provided. It will measure just the right amount. Loosely fill the scoop and level it off using the back of a clean knife, or the leveller provided in the pack. You don't need to press the powder down for each scoop.

- Place a sterilised lid or teat on the neck of the bottle and screw the retaining ring on tightly. If you're using a teat, hold the teat on its edge as you put it on, or use sterilised tongs.

- Put a sterilised cap on the bottle and shake it carefully until the powder has dissolved completely.

- Before feeding your baby, test the temperature by tipping a little milk out of the teat on to the inside of your wrist. It should feel just warm, not hot. If you need to, cool the milk by holding the bottle, with a cap covering the teat, under cold running water.

Now you’re ready to give your baby her bottle.

What do I prepare for my baby's feed?

Before you make your baby’s feed, follow these steps:

Clean and sterilise all of your baby’s feeding equipment. This includes bottles, teats, lids, retaining rings, caps, and the manufacturer's scoop that comes with the formula milk.

Clean and disinfect the work surface you're going to use.

Wash and dry your hands.

Put a sterilised bottle on the clean surface.

Use sterilised tongs to place the sterilised teat, lid, retaining ring, and cap out ready, preferably on the upturned lid of the steriliser.

Once you’ve done this, you’re ready to make your baby’s feed.
