Mhlawumbe wonke umuntu uyazi ukuthi owesifazane akanaso isikhathi sokulahlwa ngesikhathi sokulahlwa. Kodwa lolu lwazi, njengomthetho, konke kunqunyelwe. Futhi omama abasha banemibuzo eminingi mayelana nokuya esikhathini lapho bebeletha. Ngabe ukuya esikhathini kuqale nini ngesikhathi sokudla? Ngiyakwazi yini ukuqhubeka ngincelisa uma seziqala? Futhi abaningi abaningi. Ngakho-ke, sifuna ukuphendula imibuzo ethandwa kakhulu mayelana nosuku nosuku.
Ingabe ukuya esikhathini kungase kuqale ngesikhathi sokuncelisa?
Inyanga zonke ngesikhathi isisu sokubeletha sivame kakhulu. Kodwa abesifazane bayazi kakhulu ngaye.
Izinyanga ezimbili zokuqala emva kokubeletha owesifazane angase aqhubeke nokulahlwa kwe-postpartum. Akunjalo okungahambisani nokuya esikhathini futhi unomuntu ohlanzekile kuphela. Ngokuvamile kwenzeka ukuthi ukukhishwa kwe-postpartum kubonakala sengathi sekuphelile, futhi ngasekupheleni kwenyanga yesibili, lona wesifazane uphinde uchithe igazi. Ngokuvamile owesifazane angabadibanisa nokuya esikhathini, nakuba empeleni akunjalo. Ngale ndlela umzimba uqeda ukuhlanzwa kwawo.
Ekuboneni kokuqala, akukho lutho oluyingozi ekuthumeni kokuya esikhathini nasemva kokuphuma komzimba. Kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo, kunama-nuances amabili aqakathekileko. Okokuqala, owesifazane angakwazi ukulalela "abacebisi" kumama nonina, ozophikisana ngokuthi uma seziqalile isikhathi, bese ukubeletha ingane kufanele kuboshwe. Okuningi mayelana nalokhu, sizokhuluma okuningi. Futhi okwesibili, uma owesifazane ethola ukuthi ukuphuma kwe-postpartum kungukuya esikhathini, khona-ke ngenyanga, uma ngokuvumelana nayo yonke imithetho yemvelo, ukuya esikhathini kufanele kuqale futhi, kuyomangala kakhulu futhi kulesabeke ngenxa yokungabikho kwakhe. Nakuba empeleni akufanele kube.
Ukuya esikhathini kungaba nini lapho ubeletha?
Manje ake sikhulume ngesikhathi sokuthi isikhathi sokugaya singahlala isikhathi esingakanani. Isikhathi sokufika senyanga sihluka kakhulu ngesikhathi. Emakhulwini eminyaka adlule edlule, lapho i-amenorrhea ye-lactational yayiwukuphela kwendlela yokukhulelwa kanye nabesifazane ababelethwe okungenani iminyaka engama-3, ukuhamba esikhathini futhi kwaqala kamuva, ngokulandelana, kunabesifazane banamuhla. Manje isikhathi sokufika esikhathini sokuya esikhathini sekuyizinyanga ezingu-6-12 emva kokubeletha (nge-WHO izincomo mayelana nokuncelisa ingane). Kuze ezinyangeni ezingu-6, umntwana kufanele adle ubisi lomama kuphela. Ngemuva kwezinyanga ezingu-6, ukuxhaswa kuvunyelwe. Lapha ngokusungulwa kokudla okuhambisanayo futhi kungahambisana nokuqala kokuya esikhathini. Kodwa udinga ukucabangela ukujula kokufunda ingane ngokudla kwabantu abadala, kanye nemvamisa yokufaka ingane esifubeni sakhe.
Uma ingane ingabelwanga ibele, kodwa ngokuxubana, ukuya esikhathini kungase kuqale ngaphambi kwezinyanga ezingu-6 ngemuva kokubeletha. Okufanayo kuyasebenza ekuqaleni (ngaphambi kwezinyanga ezingu-6) isingeniso sokudla okuhambisanayo, noma ngisho namanzi avamile we-dopaivaniya.
Kodwa kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi kunezimo lapho, ngokuhambisana ngokugcwele nezincomo ze-WHO emithethweni yokuncelisa, owesifazane uqala ekuseni njalo ngenyanga. Kulesi simo, ungesabi, mhlawumbe unezinhlanzi ezinkulu phakathi kokubeka ingane.
Ingabe ukuya esikhathini kuyathinta uketshezi?
Futhi manje masibuyele "ezeluleko ezisebenzayo". Ososayensi banamuhla baye bafakazela ukuthi ukuqhubeka nokondla ingane ngobisi lapho kufika ukuya esikhathini kuyinto ewusizo futhi edingekayo. Ukunambitheka ubisi akusishintshi nhlobo, njengezindawo zalo zokudla okunomsoco. Zahlulela wena, uma ubisi lushintsha ukunambitheka kwalo kumunyu (njengoba omama nogogo bekusho ngakho), ingane ingenqaba isifuba ngokuzimela. Futhi isimo esimweni esinjalo sinikeze, ukuthi ngezinsuku ezibucayi ubisi luzoshiswa ebusweni. Kodwa akunakwenzeka, akunjalo? Kusho ukuxuba nokuncelisa ngesifuba kufana nokufaniswa, kanti isimo kulokhu kuhlanganiswa ukuqhubeka nokudla kwe-thoracal, esikhundleni sokuma.
