女星Janet（謝怡芬）歷經38小時的待產過程後，10月生下男寶寶Egan，自懷胎開始，就常在臉書分享從預備當媽媽，到真的當了母親的心路歷程，6日特別分享16件「關於親餵妳所不知道的事」，過去她總認為餵母奶是一件再簡單自然不過的事，但事實不如她所想，「我錯了，我真的錯了」。

Janet用逗趣的角度分享在親餵母乳時，可能會遇到的困難，以及身體的改變。光是餵一天母乳，就會燃燒掉500大卡的卡路里，「妳的奶頭有10-20個洞，每一個洞都可以出奶」，而且餵母奶會讓媽媽很痛，一點都不是雜誌上或是社群平台上的照片般浪漫唯美，「有時候當妳知道寶寶想吃的時候，妳真的會想哭出來。妳可能真的會害怕他餓，因為你知道妳會很痛。」
▲Janet笑說聽到寶寶哭聲，會自動分泌母乳，老公也試圖假哭過，但對她無效。（圖／翻攝自Janet臉書）
到底親餵有多痛？Janet形容就像是用紙的邊緣割奶頭，每2至3個小時就要持續割30分鐘，她直言一開始奶頭會像是去了一趟地獄，「每次寶寶剛含上去的時候，真的會很想死。」且胸部有時會突然腫起來，或是感覺有一塊一塊的，即使痛到不行、累得可以，還是要盡力按摩胸部，避免以後變成石頭奶。
另外，在親餵的這段期間，媽媽只要聽到寶寶在哭，母乳很自然地就會分泌出來，這是媽媽和寶寶之間的感應，「他餓的時候，妳的電流就會來，然後母奶就會來了」，剛開始非常有成就感，不過缺點是母奶會到處流，「哪裡都會有母奶。妳的床、枕頭、衣服、寶寶的臉、老公的臉、地板、沙發等。」Janet笑說會覺得自己是一頭牛，「是一隻大大，一直滴奶，站穩不動的牛。」
▲雖然很痛、很疲累，但看到寶寶的微笑，就有撐下去的力氣。（圖／翻攝自Janet臉書）
雖然很辛苦、很累，甚至想要放棄，但是只要看到寶貝突然對著自己微笑，「就又突然有力氣繼續。」Janet說，不知道自己還會親餵多久，現在有很多不同種餵養孩子的方法，「沒有所謂絕對的對或錯，只要能盡妳所能，且做妳認為對寶寶和對自己是最好的事」，希望全天下正在努力的媽媽都能繼續加油。

Things I didn’t know about breastfeeding
那些關於親餵妳所不知道的事：
I don’t know about you, but I always thought breastfeeding was going to be super duper easy, natural, and instinctual. Otherwise, how would a baby survive, right? Well, turns out, I was wrong. I’ve been very lucky to have nurses from the postpartum center come every two hours to check up on me and the baby. Each nurses is basically a lactation consultant and will teach me how to hold the baby properly, how to make sure he latches correctly, the different ways to breastfeed, express milk with my hand, and pump, etc. I’ve learned a lot and I’m sure there’s plenty more to learn. Here’s a few things I’ve discovered and wanted to share with y’all:
不知道妳是不是和我一樣， 我真的以為餵母奶是很件很簡單很自然且直覺性的事，不然一個寶寶怎麼生存？！其實，我錯了，我真的錯了。親餵一點都不簡單，不是馬上就自然知道怎麼做的事！幸好我們這幾個禮拜都在 大葉產後護理之家 ，有護理師每兩個小時過來看看我跟寶寶。每一位護理師基本上都是哺乳顧問，一直教我正確的姿勢，確認Egan用對的方式含住乳頭，教我不同的餵小孩角度跟姿勢，如何擠奶出來，等等⋯⋯我真的發現有很多要學。雖然我還在學習， 但是我想鼓勵親餵的媽咪們然後跟你們分享我學到的一些小東西，希望也可以幫助到妳們，也同時給妳們一點力量，不要放棄！
1. Breastfeeding burns around 500 calories per day! WHO HOO!! Bye bye baby belly!!
親餵一天會燒掉500打卡！呀呼！！掰掰肚子！
2. Your nipples have anywhere between 10-20 holes where breast milk comes out of. So, get your squirt on.
妳的奶頭有10-20個洞，而且每一個洞都可以出奶，所以趕快去噴發吧！
3. There are 3 basic ways of breastfeeding: cradle, football and lying down. It all sounds easier than it is. I can’t imagine doing this with TWINS!
基本上有三種親餵的姿勢：搖籃式，橄欖式，躺式。聽起來都很簡單，但是有段習慣的過程。很難想像同時餵雙胞胎！
4. At first, breastfeeding IS PAINFUL. It’s not all the glamor and motherly love that you see in some instagram photos. Sorry. There will be times when your baby wants to feed and you literally want to cry. You may dread feeding your baby because you know the pain that you will be in.
一開始的時候親餵很痛，不像我們在雜誌上或是IG上看到的畫面好像很浪漫。不好意思，有的時候甚至當妳知道寶寶想吃的時候妳真的會想哭出來。妳可能真的會害怕他餓因為你知道妳會很痛。
5. Your nipples will go through hell. And hopefully come back. But until then, they will be in hell. (It kind of feels like getting little paper cuts on your nipples. Continuously for about 30 minutes and then again every 2-3 hours) The first latch of each feeding session will make you want to cry and then you eventually get used to the pain. But that initial latch... OMG!
妳的奶頭會去一趟地獄，然後期望它會回來。但是還沒有回來之前，它會在地獄。（這種痛有一點像妳拿著一張紙，然後一直不斷用紙的邊邊割妳的奶頭，每2-3個小時，一直割30分鐘） 每次寶寶剛含上去的時候，真的會很想死。但是不用怕！慢慢的妳的奶頭會習慣。可憐的奶頭。我下輩子真的要好好的對待我的奶頭們。
6. It's ok to walk around naked with your boobs hanging out for the first month. It helps with the pain.
妳如果想要脫光光走來走去，沒有關係。妳的奶頭真的會感謝妳的。我到現在還是不太想穿衣服。 奇怪，George也是不太喜歡穿衣服. Hmmm….
7. You will leak. Everywhere. There will be milk everywhere.... On your bed, pillow, clothes, baby's face, husband’s face, floor, couch, etc.
妳會流出來。到處流。 那裡都會有母奶。妳的床、枕頭、衣服、寶寶的臉、老公的臉、地板、沙發等。
8. You will lactate when your baby cries. Apparently when other babies cry too but we haven't tried out this theory yet.
妳的寶寶在哭的時候，很神奇的妳自己會出母乳(乳汁會噴出)。聽說只要有任何的寶寶哭，妳的胸部都會有反應。 我們很想試試這個理論看看。George也一直在哭著要我的奶頭，但是我沒有反應。
9. In the first few days/weeks, you will get soooo much satisfaction out of squeezing out a few cc's of milk. EVERY drop is precious and if you spill some milk you’ll want to smack whoever came up with the saying “there’s no use crying over spilt milk”. Don’t feel discouraged if you only have a drop or two the first few days. And DON’T FREAK OUT if your baby is losing weight. It’s all natural and part of the process, but definitely listen to your doctor, and in the end, if your baby is losing too much weight and you need to give it a bit of extra formula, don’t blame yourself and don’t feel bad! There’s nothing wrong with you.
前面幾天、幾週，妳如果可以擠出幾滴母乳出來，會很有成就感。每一滴都非常的珍貴。如果有任何的人不小心的打翻妳的母乳，妳會想把他打個巴掌！但，如果妳前面只有一點點奶，不要難過，千萬不要覺得妳的小孩體重掉了是妳的錯。剛剛生出來的baby的體重都會下降，這個很正常（還好護士們有跟我們說不然我們真的會驚慌失措！)。 聽聽妳的醫生的建議，然後如果妳後來需要給他一點配方奶，沒有問題！不要有挫折感，妳沒有問題的。加油！
10. When you get your first "squirt" of milk, you will feel this sense of accomplishment you've never thought you could feel from...squirting
妳第一次有“噴奶”你真的會覺得超級爽。沒有想到妳會因為“噴奶“而爽。
11. Your breasts will engorge and swell up to the point where it’s almost painful. There will be pockets of milk “rocks” in your boobs that you have to massage and squeeze out to prevent mastitis. Do it. Don’t get lazy. Your boobs will thank you for it.
妳的胸部會突然腫起來，脹起來到快痛的感覺。可能也會有一塊一塊的感覺。妳會必須按摩那幾塊避免你以後有石頭奶。千萬不要懶惰！！石頭奶真的很痛，不過即便再累，真的還是要認真的按摩跟擠奶。妳的胸部真的會好好的感謝你。
12. That “electricity going through your nipple” feeling is NORMAL! It’s your breast producing more milk and it’s in tune with your baby. You tend to feel that electricity (and start leaking) when your baby is about to wake up or when he’s hungry. Nature is AMAZING!
有時候有一種電流的感覺（奶震）是正常的。這個是妳的乳腺在補充母奶。 最奇妙的是那個奶震和妳的寶寶是有感應的。他餓的時候，妳的電流就會來，然後母奶就會來了。真的很奇妙！我自己也發現差不多要餵他的時候，我就會開始滴奶！
13. You will feel like a cow. Not a cute fluffy petting zoo cow, but a big, leaky, sedentary cow. And it feels like you’re feeding your child ALL. THE. TIME. No break. No rest. No end to it. Just a continuous, repetitive, monotonous cycle of feeding.
妳會覺得妳是一頭牛。不是那種可愛毛毛的動物園的牛喔。 是一隻大大，一直滴奶，站穩不動的牛。會感覺妳永遠一直都在餵小孩。隨，時，沒有休息、沒有停斷、沒有結束的感覺。就是一個不斷的連續、重複、不停的餵奶循環。
14. There will be times when you just want to give up, but then your baby will give you this look, or smile, or even just let out a cute little fart, and you suddenly find the energy to continue on.
有時候妳會想放棄。但你的baby會突然看著你微笑，或是放一個可愛的屁，然後妳就又突然有力氣繼續。
15. Breast milk tastes different depending on what you eat! Latte anyone?
母乳的味道會因為妳吃了什麼而改變味道。 有人要拿鐵嗎？
16. There’s a thing called “cluster feeding” where your baby will want to feed every hour or so. WHAT?!? It’s very normal and very annoying. There’ll be cries of “I JUST fed you!”, but it’s just your little one having a growth spurt...all this shall pass - just remember: you are your child’s buffet.
有個術語好像叫做"密集哺餵”，就是當妳的寶寶每個小時都想吃飯的狀態。(蝦密？！)但這其實是很正常的但同時也有點惱人。有時候妳只想對寶寶大喊「哈囉我不是才剛剛餵飽你嗎？」，但這只是妳寶寶健康成長的必經過程，這些都會過去，只要記得一件事：妳是妳的寶寶的buffet。
I have no idea how long I will breastfeed for and it’s great for all mothers to have so many options these days (breastfeed, pump, formula). There’s no right or wrong and just do what you can, and do what you think is best for you and your baby. So, to all the mothers out there, HANG IN THERE!
其實我也不知道我會親餵多久，而且現在對媽媽們來說真的有好多選擇了(親餵、集乳器、配方奶)。沒有所謂絕對的對或錯，只要能盡妳所能，且做妳認為對寶寶和對自己是最好的事。所以，給全天下好努力的媽媽們，加油！”加奶”好了！
