在喂养孩子的问题上，每个父母都应该选择自己的方式。对一些父母来说，尤其是那些难以完全母乳喂养的父母，这可能意味着遵循“喂养是最好的”逻辑，并将母乳喂养与奶瓶喂养的好处结合起来。

什么是混合喂养?
混合喂食是混合喂食母乳喂养与瓶喂．它可以让妈妈们从纯母乳喂养的需求中得到一点喘息，而且瓶子可以是母乳或配方奶。
当谈到混合喂养时，没有“一刀切”的办法，如果你正在考虑的话，有很多选择可以安全地尝试。你可以:
- 用奶瓶代替偶尔的母乳喂养，让你的宝宝习惯用奶瓶喂养。
- 晚上用奶瓶代替一些母乳喂养，让其他人来上夜班。
- 使用挤出的母乳，这样你的伴侣就有机会参与到喂养过程中来，同时仍然只给你的婴儿母乳。
- 使用配方奶来补充你自己的母乳——这可以让你从疲惫的表达工作中得到休息，如果是晚上喂奶，也可以让你睡个安稳觉。
混合喂养的好处是什么?
采用奶瓶喂养可以让你从牛奶轮喂养中得到一些急需的休息时间，但还有其他考虑混合喂养的理由。
我从我的第二个孩子开始混合喂养。这意味着我的丈夫可以在晚上喂我一顿饭，让我睡个安稳觉。我发现它给了我灵活性，并允许我在需要的时候从别人那里得到支持。
如果你的孩子不是增加体重或者你发现很难理解，你可能会被医学专业人士建议尝试把奶瓶喂养和母乳喂养结合起来。补充配方奶可以减轻你和宝宝的压力，如果你对体重增加等问题感到压力，它可以帮助你。
为母亲回到工作岗位联合喂养可以让另一位护理人员用奶瓶喂养。当你下班回家后，母乳喂养你的宝宝是一个很好的方式，可以让你和宝宝在睡觉前重新建立联系。有些女性会在上班前或上班前表达，你很快就会找到适合你和你宝宝的习惯。

关于混合喂养我还需要知道什么?
混合喂养听起来像是母乳和奶瓶之间的完美平衡，但利弊不可避免。
值得记住的是，牛奶生产是一个供求游戏。你给宝宝喂得越多，你的奶量就会继续增加，所以如果你不喂，你的奶量也会减少。
有很多可以说的，引入混合喂养尽可能地渐进，这样当涉及到膨胀的乳房和未使用的牛奶时，你会更舒服。当你第一次使用奶瓶时，你的孩子年龄越大，你的奶源就会越稳定，最终，你就会发现母乳和奶瓶更容易平衡。
“我发现混合喂养搅乱了我的第一个孩子，我不得不停止母乳喂养。至于我的第二个孩子，我们的旅程要好得多，我主要把这归功于获得了建议和支持。”
新生儿混合喂养可以吗?
许多妇女发现，从出生开始混合喂养对她们来说是正确的选择，特别是如果她们生了多胞胎，或者生了一个早产或身体不好的婴儿。
如果你不属于这些类别，通常建议父母等到母乳喂养牢固确立之后再使用奶瓶国民健康保险制度假设这需要几周时间。
其他组织，如世界卫生组织(who)(世卫组织)建议等待6个月。
“由于过早用奶瓶喂养的失败，我花了三个月的时间才真正开始母乳喂养。我的建议是，耐心点，让宝宝先把你的食物准备好。当然，每个女人都是不同的。”
如果我混合喂养我的宝宝，我的奶水会干涸吗?
新妈妈们担心母乳供应是很常见的，即使没有引入混合喂养。这可能是当你的乳房最初的饱腹感消退时，或者因为你的宝宝在经历一个生长陡增．
如果您仍然担心您的母乳供应，请与您的健康访客或联系您当地的母乳喂养支持小组建议．
“我和一位母乳喂养顾问谈过，他们建议我把孩子带到床上，整个周末都喂奶。我也会在一天的前三次喂食后表达，并在晚上补充。起初，我只能从这三次表达中得到1盎司的食物，但现在我每三个小时就能得到5盎司的食物。”
“我吃葫芦巴，尽可能多地吃燕麦，喂完奶后尽可能多地给自己挤奶。不确定哪种方法有效，但几天后，我的供应量有所改善。”
我怎样才能成功地将母乳喂养与奶瓶喂养结合起来?
- 如果你用的是公式化的，要循序渐进。这将给你的牛奶供应时间来调整，并给你的宝宝的身体机会来习惯配方奶粉。
- 如果你想继续母乳喂养，在两次喂奶之间挤奶是保持母乳供应的关键。
- 如果你要回去工作，提前几周进行联合喂养将有助于预防乳腺炎．逐渐用奶瓶喂养代替母乳喂养会让你的身体有时间来适应母乳供应的变化。这将有助于防止乳房肿胀和渗漏，以及乳管堵塞。
“当我第一次开始挤奶时，我会在每天早上第一次喂食后挤奶一次，然后把牛奶冷藏起来，让我的伴侣晚上给她喝。现在我的宝宝有点不那么粘人了，我发现我有更多的时间在一天中，当我想要的时候。如果我要出去，我就会多抽一点并储存起来。”
我如何让我的孩子第一次接触奶瓶?
如果你想尝试混合喂养，或者甚至从母乳喂养转向奶瓶喂养，你可能会想知道从哪里开始。
混合喂养是我们的救命稻草，让我每天都能休息一会儿。我的女儿现在已经五个月大了，我仍然在母乳喂养，而不是在母乳喂养变得困难时停止。
当婴儿吃母乳时，他们会使用一种独特的运动，叫做舌头蠕动运动。这基本上意味着他们用舌头按摩乳头的下面，这导致了射乳反射。传统上，当婴儿要用奶瓶喂养时，他们会使用完全不同的喂养方式，这就解释了为什么婴儿会感到困惑，拒绝在母乳和奶瓶之间转换。
因为这个原因，选择一个能让你的宝宝使用与哺乳时完全相同的技术的乳头是非常重要的。
为了获得最佳的成功，请尝试以下建议:
- 在宝宝开心的时候给他第一个奶瓶。等到他们饿了或者有点暴躁的时候，可能不会产生最好的结果。
- 让别人先给你一瓶。这就消除了宝宝闻到你的奶味并想要吮吸的任何机会。
- 如果没有其他人可以给你喂奶，试着换一个姿势抱着你的宝宝，比如背对着你。
记住，采用奶瓶喂养需要耐心和毅力。虽然有些婴儿会直接喝奶瓶，但在大多数情况下，需要几次尝试才能让他们习惯。如果你的宝宝不玩球，不要惊慌。下次再试试。
我可以把母乳和配方奶粉混合吗?
是的，你可以，但这不是理想的。配方奶需要在一小时内丢弃，而母乳可以在冰箱里冷藏几个小时，直到以后的喂养。
如果你把两种母乳混合在同一个容器中，你可能会浪费掉非常好的母乳，这可能会让那些花了几个小时来表达的人感到不快。但是把你的孩子在两种不同的喂养方式之间切换是可以的。
当我开始使用奶瓶喂养后，是否可以重新开始单纯的母乳喂养?
如果你发现自己改变了主意，想再次进行母乳喂养，下面的建议将帮助你得到母乳喂养重新建立：
- 在奶瓶喂养时继续挤出牛奶，因为这将保持你的供应活跃。即使你只分泌少量的乳汁，乳头刺激也会向你的身体发送产生乳汁的信号。
- 肌肤接触会促进身体分泌乳汁。每两到三个小时把宝宝放到你的乳房上，或者在靠近乳房的地方用奶瓶喂养会有帮助。其他肌肤接触的好时机是宝宝吃饱准备睡觉的时候。
- 不要等到宝宝饿了才重新开始母乳喂养。相反，选择一天中她开心的时候，更有可能再次尝试母乳喂养。
