How long can I breastfeed after taking X-rays?

Under normal circumstances, a mother can breastfeed an hour or two after taking a chest X-ray. Because the X-ray examination used in the hospital will not harm the mother's health. Lactating mothers can breastfeed normally. Therefore, if a mother encounters anything that needs a chest X-ray or CT examination during lactation, she should do it.

Breastfeeding method

In fact, breastfeeding has a lot of knowledge that new mothers need to learn and master slowly, such as the correct breastfeeding posture, how to make the baby hold the nipple smoothly, and breastfeeding will also encounter many problems. Next, let's talk about breastfeeding methods for newborns.

1, Time: At present, breastfeeding is advocated immediately after delivery, and normal full-term newborns can breastfeed within half an hour of birth, which can not only prevent neonatal hypoglycemia, but also promote breast milk secretion. Sucking the nipple can also stimulate the mother to secrete milk, which is a good start for breastfeeding. Early breastfeeding can reduce postpartum hemorrhage of mothers.

2. Methods: In the correct breastfeeding method, the thumb and other four fingers of one hand should be placed above and below the breast respectively, and the breast should be held up into a straight cone, and it must be close to Mu Ying, with the head and shoulders facing the breast. When breastfeeding, the mother must relax, lean forward slightly, hold the baby's neck and back with her palm, and hold the baby's head with her four fingers. When breastfeeding, pick up the baby and feed it day and night. The juice on the empty side is empty, which can better stimulate the mammary gland to secrete again. Wash the nipple before feeding, squeeze out a few drops first, and then let the child eat.

3, breastfeeding times: newborns should start breastfeeding after birth, and irregular feeding should be implemented according to needs. Babies need frequent breastfeeding from 4 to 8 days after birth to promote the rapid increase of breast milk. For sleepy or quiet babies, breast-feeding should be done frequently during the day to meet the nutrition needed for their growth and development.

4, feeding at night: postpartum fatigue, plus continuous feeding and changing diapers during the day, my mother is very sleepy at night. When the child cries at night, the mother will feel very annoyed. Sometimes putting a pacifier into a child's mouth makes the child stop crying after eating milk, and the mother may fall asleep again, which is very dangerous. Because the baby is close to the mother when feeding, the sleeping mother doesn't know even if her breast is pressed on the child's nostril, so tragedy may occur. In order to avoid this kind of thing, it is best for mother to sit up when nursing at night.
