Luluk ---------------------- Dari artikel ProMOM : Breastfeeding Myths and Realities By Leslie Kincaid Burby for ProMoM Myth #2: Small-breasted women won't have enough milk REALITY: The size of your breasts, either large or small, has nothing to do with the amount of milk they will produce. Almost all women who are getting plenty of liquid, adequate rest and relaxation, and lots of physical contact with their babies will produce enough milk. In fact, many women who believe they are not producing enough milk are mistaken. It is surprising how much milk a tiny baby can consume in a short amount of time. The number of wet and soiled diapers being produced every day is a fairly accurate indicator of how much milk the baby is getting. 6-8 wet cloth diapers (5-6 soaked disposables), and at least 2-5 bowel movements per day indicate that your baby is getting plenty of milk. Once the newborn stage is over, the number of bowel movements may decrease. If your baby seems lethargic, seems to have poor skin tone or is not wetting and soiling an adequate number of diapers, this is cause for concern. If you believe you are having trouble with your milk supply, contact a lactation consultant, or a supportive physician. It is always better to be safe than sorry. Remember, the more the baby nurses, the more milk your breasts will be stimulated to produce. If you begin "supplementing" your supply with artificial milk, your breasts will not receive adequate stimulation and your milk supply will decrease. ------------------------ Artikel dari WHO (www.who.org) : Infant Feeding in emergencies : A guide for mothers What about women with small breasts or flat nipples? Every womans breasts are suitable for feeding. They can be large, small or flat. The areola (the darker area surrounding the nipple) can be large or small, dark or pale, protrude or not show at all.

The translator can do what is appropriate in her/his language. Figure 1 matters in all cases is that the baby takes in a large mouthful of the breast, and not just the nipple. It is important that every woman feels confident that she can breastfeed her baby. Family, friends or health professionals can make or break that confidence. ------------------ AYO GALANG SOLIDARITAS UNTUK MEMBANTU KORBAN MUSIBAH DI ACEH & DAN SUMATERA UTARA !!! ================ Kirim bunga, http://www.indokado.com Info balita: http://www.balita-anda.com Stop berlangganan/unsubscribe dari milis ini, e-mail ke: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peraturan milis, email ke: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
