How often it is necessary to feed the newborn?

In the majority of clinics for the first time put the child to a breast at once after sorts if, certainly, the condition of mother and the child allows to make it. It is necessary to feed the child at least five times a day.
In the first days after sorts in mammary glands the so-called colostrum is formed. Milk inflow occurs usually on the third or the fourth, sometimes — for the fifth day after sorts. To this child, as a rule, feed from a small bottle. But in no event to it do not give the big portions of milk that it was completely sated, otherwise it can not take a breast or will poorly suck. And further will not exhaust all milk from a breast that will lead to its stagnation and will lower a lactation.
In the first weeks of a life chest children worry at night and cry that feel hunger. Until recently considered, that from educational reasons it is necessary to sustain a night break and not to pay attention to crying of the child. However last years pediatrists have come to conclusion, that it is necessary to feed the child crying by night or a breast, or from a small bottle. Educational value of the indifferent relation to the crying baby is rather doubtful. Children who feed at night if they worry, develop much better. It is noticed, that later 2 — 3 months such children gradually wean from night feeding. The anxiety of newborns at night, connected with feeling of hunger, is caused by that at them the rhythm of day and night was not developed yet. In some months children gradually get used to it.
It is accepted from first days after a birth to establish defined, четкнй, on hours and minutes the verified mode of feeding of the newborn. However many pediatrists recommend to feeding mothers to establish independently a feeding mode as the child expresses the anxiety connected with feeling of hunger. It successfully practises the USA within decades. The child put to a breast not at strictly certain o'clock but only when it is hungry and in every possible way lets about it know to mother, i.e. sometimes more often, sometimes less often. The child exhausts so much milk, how many wants. In maternity hospital it is realizable, if the woman in childbirth and the baby are in one room. At artificial feeding such mode not only is inadmissible, and even is dangerous, as it is possible to overfeed the child, that will lead to digestion infringement.
