| 00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Feeding expressed breastmilk to babies |
| 00:07 | In this tutorial we will learn,
How to make stored breastmilk ready for a baby to drink |
| 00:14 | And how to feed expressed breastmilk to a baby |
| 00:19 | Let us begin
Expressing breastmilk has many benefits for the baby and the Mother |
| 00:26 | Expressing breastmilk and storing it safely are explained in other tutorials |
| 00:34 | Now, let us learn how to make the stored breastmilk ready for the baby to drink |
| 00:42 | Before handling breastmilk the caregiver must - wash their hands with soap and water
And dry their hands well |
| 00:52 | Remember, the oldest stored breastmilk should always be used first |
| 00:59 | When using frozen breastmilk, Ideally, defrost it by keeping it overnight on the lowest shelf of the fridge |
| 01:08 | And use this defrosted milk within the next 24 hours |
| 01:15 | But if the frozen breastmilk is needed quickly, defrost it outside the fridge by -
First, keeping it in a container of cold water |
| 01:25 | And then keeping it in a container of lukewarm water |
| 01:31 | While defrosting in lukewarm water - shake the breastmilk container gently and occasionally |
| 01:38 | Do not shake it vigorously and continuously |
| 01:42 | Dry the outside of the breastmilk container with a clean cloth before use |
| 01:48 | Use this defrosted breast milk within 2 hours and throw away any unused milk |
| 01:56 | Defrosted breastmilk can smell and taste different than fresh breastmilk |
| 02:03 | It is fine as long as the baby accepts it |
| 02:08 | The caregiver must always smell the breastmilk before feeding it to the baby |
| 02:16 | If the milk smells sour, do not use it |
| 02:20 | Please remember - When breastmilk is stored, it will separate with the cream rising to the top |
| 02:28 | This is normal. Shake gently to mix the cream back in the milk before use |
| 02:36 | To warm the breastmilk just before feeding it to the baby-
keep the breastmilk container in a bowl of lukewarm water for 20 to 30 minutes |
| 02:47 | Test how warm the milk is by dropping a little onto the wrist
It is right when it feels warm |
| 02:56 | Do not use hot water to warm the breastmilk. Try to use stored breast milk straight from the fridge |
| 03:05 | This will help to avoid the risks of over-heating and burns |
| 03:12 | Do not heat breastmilk by keeping it directly on a stove or in a microwave |
| 03:19 | Direct heat destroys many of the infection-fighting factors present in the breastmilk |
| 03:27 | When the breastmilk is ready, offer it to the baby |
| 03:32 | To do so, the following utensils can be used:
A Paladai , A small cup, A spoon or A nifty cup |
| 03:42 | Out of these, it is preferable to use a spoon or a cup to feed the baby |
| 03:49 | Firstly, the caregiver must - wash the chosen utensil with soap and water
and then air dry it completely Or wipe it dry with a clean unused cloth |
| 04:02 | Then, the caregiver must wash and dry their hands properly |
| 04:10 | They should half-fill or two-thirds fill the chosen utensil with breastmilk |
| 04:16 | Then, they should hold the baby in a nearly upright position on their lap |
| 04:23 | Their hand should support the baby’s head and neck |
| 04:28 | If they are using a Paladai to feed the baby- They should position the tip of the paladai inside the corner of the baby’s mouth |
| 04:39 | It should be held lightly between the baby’s lips |
| 04:45 | The tip of the paladai should lightly touch the baby’s upper lip |
| 04:50 | In this position, the milk should stay at the rim of the beak of the paladai |
| 04:58 | As the baby slurps milk - the caregiver should tilt the paladai slightly to keep the milk at the rim |
| 05:07 | If the caregiver is using a small cup to feed the baby- They should hold the cup lightly between the baby’s lips |
| 05:17 | The rim of the cup should lightly touch the baby’s upper lip |
| 05:22 | They should tilt the cup slightly until the milk reaches the top edge of the cup |
| 05:28 | This should let the baby take the milk from the rim of the cup |
| 05:33 | If the caregiver is using a spoon to feed the baby- They should hold the spoon between the baby’s lips |
| 05:42 | The edge of the spoon should lightly touch the baby’s upper lip |
| 05:47 | Then they should tilt the spoon slightly until the milk is at the edge of the spoon |
| 05:54 | Feeding with a spoon is good for the first few days after birth |
| 05:59 | Because during these days only a small amount of milk is needed |
| 06:07 | If the caregiver is using a nifty cup to feed the baby -
They should position the small reservoir of the nifty cup just inside the baby’s mouth |
| 06:19 | As the baby slurps the milk, they should tilt the cup up slightly
This will add milk to the reservoir as it empties |
| 06:31 | When feeding expressed breastmilk to the baby- Never pour milk into the baby’s mouth |
| 06:38 | This may cause the baby to choke |
| 06:40 | Instead, keep the milk at the rim and leave it in that position throughout the feed |
| 06:47 | Always ensure that the baby is fully awake, alert and interested in feeding |
| 06:54 | If needed, wrap the baby to prevent her from knocking the cup out of the feeder’s hands |
| 07:03 | Always let the baby slurp milk at her own pace |
| 07:08 | Look for signs which show that the baby has had enough milk |
| 07:13 | Signs such as - Holding her hands up |
| 07:16 | Falling asleep or Closing her mouth |
| 07:21 | Remember- Do not apply too much pressure on the lower lip of the baby |
| 07:28 | Always let the edge of the utensil touch the baby’s upper lip lightly |
| 07:34 | Do not put the cup, paladai or spoon too far inside the baby’s mouth |
| 07:41 | Never feed a baby in a lying down position |
| 07:45 | Do not use a feeding bottle to feed the expressed breastmilk to the baby |
| 07:51 | After feeding the baby - Wash the cup, paladai or spoon well with soap and clean water
And let it air dry completely |
| 08:04 | Some babies are reluctant to take expressed breastmilk- particularly at first from some people |
| 08:12 | They may be less reluctant when someone else gives it to them |
| 08:17 | If expressed milk is refused by the baby, try not to worry. |
| 08:22 | On the mother’s return from work- The baby will make up any missed feeds by breastfeeding more often or for longer |
| 08:32 | Remember, Keep the breastmilk safe by- washing hands, containers and utensils
feeding milk as soon as needed or storing it safely |
| 08:44 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial
