"No, the baby sucked for a long time but couldn't get it out."
"This is normal. You can ask a doctor for help with lactation, which will help your milk come in faster.
Do you have milk powder and bottles ready? I can try milk powder for a few days."
Jiang Mengxue felt a little ashamed. She did have milk, but she couldn't get up at night to feed her baby, so the baby drank milk powder most of the time.
"No, I didn't think I would need to prepare all this. I just wanted the baby to drink formula as soon as he was born. My mother-in-law said that it would be better to feed him water for two days to relieve his bowel problems. I don't know how to do that."
Jiang Mengxue frowned. When she was in the hospital before, many families of pregnant women said the same thing.
I insisted on not feeding the baby, saying that drinking water for two days would help clear out the impurities in the baby's intestines.
I don't know where he heard this from, but as a doctor, I have never heard of such a practice.
Generally, breastfeeding can be done within one to two hours after a normal birth.
However, many mothers start producing milk late. Doctors can help pregnant women to produce milk and breastfeed earlier.
Colostrum, in particular, is very good for babies and can enhance immunity, so even if breast milk and formula are mixed later, babies should be allowed to eat colostrum.
However, Jiang Mengxue really doesn't know how to stimulate lactation, but this is in the hospital, so she can call a doctor.
"I have some formula at home, I can make it for your baby first, but I still recommend breast milk for the baby's first milk, which is better for the baby's constitution. How about calling a doctor to help you with the bowel movement?"
Luo Mingzhu didn't quite understand, but seeing that Jiang Mengxue looked very serious, she thought it must be true, so she nodded in agreement.
Luan Huiying turned and left the ward, told the nurse passing by outside about the situation, and the nurse went to call for help.
However, considering that there was not much breast milk at the beginning, Jiang Mengxue still scooped a few spoonfuls of milk powder and wrapped it in paper, so that Luo Mingzhu could be fed twice if needed.
Luo Mingzhu was very touched. Her own mother-in-law didn't care about her, but people in the same ward could help her so much.
But people nowadays are enthusiastic at heart, and they are willing to lend a hand to those who need help, so Li Cuiying and the others didn't think it was a big deal.
