The most appropriate diet for babies is to take only breast milk for the first 6 months, and to continue breastfeeding with appropriate supplementary foods until the age of two years and beyond. Breastfeeding has many lifelong benefits for mother and baby. However, in some cases, mothers stop breastfeeding earlier than necessary. One of the reasons for terminating breastfeeding is that the mother becomes pregnant during breastfeeding. However, if the mother is having a healthy pregnancy and there is no contraindication, she can breastfeed her baby safely. Adequate counseling should be given to mothers on this issue. In this article, the approach to a mother who conceives while breastfeeding her baby and continues to breastfeed both babies successfully is discussed in the light of current literature.

İki Farklı Yaşta Kardeş Emzirme: Olgu Sunumu

Öz

Bebekler için en uygun beslenme şekli, ilk altı ay sadece anne sütü almak, iki yaş ve ötesine kadar uygun ek gıdalarla birlikte emzirmenin sürdürülmesini sağlamaktır. Emzirmenin anne ve bebek açısından ömür boyu birçok faydası bulunmaktadır. Ancak bazı durumlarda anneler emzirmeyi gerekenden daha önce sonlandırmaktadır. Emzirmeyi sonlandırmanın nedenlerinden birisi de annenin emzirme sürecinde gebe kalmasıdır. Ancak anne sağlıklı bir gebelik geçiriyorsa ve kontrendike bir durum yoksa bebeğini güvenle emzirebilir. Bu konuyla ilgili annelere yeterli danışmanlık verilmelidir. Bu makalede bebeğini emzirirken gebe kalan ve her iki bebeğini de başarılı bir şekilde emzirmeye devam eden anneye yaklaşım güncel literatür eşliğinde tartışılmaktadır. Çalışmamız bu haliyle tandem emzirme esnasında annelerin ikilemleri, yaşadığı sorunlar ve yapılması gerekenlere dikkat çekerek, sağlık profesyonellerinin gerekli bakım ve desteği sağlamasına katkıda bulunacaktır.
