Today, the proportion of Chinese mothers who breastfeed exclusively is not high. Information shows that the proportion of Chinese mothers who are "breastfeeding" is 52.4％; followed by "breastfeeding + formula milk" mixed feeding, the proportion is 32.9％; the proportion of adopting "formula milk feeding" is 14.7 ％. The breastfeeding rate of some developed countries abroad (such as the United States, South Korea breastfeeding rate is as high as 70％).

　　 In addition, people choose breastfeeding There are multiple misunderstandings in choosing milk powder. The survey shows that 34％ mothers think that the nutrition of formula milk can be equal to breast milk, but this view is wrong!

　　 There is also one of the most critical issues: many mothers are weaned in the wrong way !

　　The survey shows that 80％ mother thinks that breastfeeding only needs about 4 months, when the child grows up to 6 months, it can be "weaned". This view is also wrong! Actually, a newborn baby will quadruple its weight within a year. The mother''s milk secretion alone may not meet the child''s growth and development requirements, and can be supplemented with milk powder. However, this does not mean asking the child to''wean''. "

　　Why are Chinese mothers breastfeeding not so high?

　　In addition to the several wrong views mentioned above, there are many other reasons, summarized as follows:

　　1. Short maternity leave or busy work:

　　 For maternity leave, the National Labor Law has a clear rule that it is not less than ninety days. , And we advocate exclusive breastfeeding from April to June, so holiday restrictions can not insist on feeding. The survey shows that the breastfeeding rate of urban mothers is significantly lower than that of rural mothers.

　　2. Over-advertising formula advertising Propaganda.

　　Foreign countries, such as South Korea, have explicitly banned the advertisement of milk powder. The United States has been widely promoting and promoting breastfeeding since 2004. In China, formula milk powder ads are everywhere It can be seen that they are all celebrity endorsements. In fact, there are reports that the "children" of the celebrities in the advertisements are not their own children, and the celebrities are also willing to breastfeed their children. These are all for shooting advertisements.

　　3. Medical staff (obstetrics and gynecology, paediatrics, pediatrics) doctors have insufficient publicity and guidance on breastfeeding.

　　According to the relevant situation reflected in the survey, the mother of the baby The satisfaction rate for medical staff regarding breastfeeding guidance is only 51.6％ Not only that, the survey shows that the baby’s mother’s birth hospitalization time is generally not more than 5 days. After returning to the community, how to receive the corresponding services has become an urgent need to solve Experts pointed out that at present, hospitals, communities and units are unable to promote breastfeeding, and the environment to promote and protect breastfeeding has not yet been formed.

　　4. The impact of premature use of milk bottles Breastfeeding.

　　 In clinical practice, many parents are worried about telling the doctor that after the child is born, feeding with a bottle is very smooth, but a few days later, after the mother’s milk comes down, The child does not eat the mother’s milk, but I don’t know if it’s the mother’s milk. Many mothers have to give up breastfeeding. In fact, it’s not the mother’s milk that is caused by the premature use of the bottle. The “eyes” on this page are very large, and the child does not need to work hard at all, but instead takes breast milk. The child does not adapt at first, and the medicine takes a lot of effort, so the child is unwilling to eat breast milk. Experts pointed out that the child should not use a baby bottle after birth Instead, we should open the milk as soon as possible, that is, although we can’t see the mother’s milk showing signs of coming down, let the child suck it, so that the breast milk will come down quickly. If there is no breast milk, you can temporarily use a small spoon Instead of feeding with a baby bottle. In addition, if you use a baby bottle and change to breast milk, you must change it back when the child is very hungry, be patient and cruel.

　　5, wrong concept Urgently needs to be corrected

　　In addition to the above-mentioned weaning mistakes and feeding mistakes, there are still a lot of old ideas. Clinically, many elderly people have said to young mothers that human milk is getting thinner and thinner after 6 months, and it is called "pulp milk", which is no longer nutritious, so it is recommended to break it prematurely; in addition, prepare When weaning, I worry about the child''s pain and do not know the gradual progress, but completely cut off immediately; some working mothers worry about the body shape after breastfeeding, refuse to breastfeed their children, etc.

　　 May 20th is "Chinese Breastfeeding Day" every year, and the first week of August every year is "World Breastfeeding Week", we look forward to more media to promote the benefits of breastfeeding and let China’s Children are getting stronger and stronger!
