Amamantar durante el embarazo

Amamantar durante el embarazo

Generalidades del tema

Generalmente usted puede continuar amamantando a su hijo si queda embarazada. Si amamanta mientras está embarazada, tenga en cuenta las siguientes cuestiones:

  • Amamantar durante el embarazo no se recomienda si usted corre el riesgo de tener un trabajo de parto prematuro. Amamantar puede estimular las contracciones uterinas, las cuales pueden conducir a un parto prematuro.
  • Usted necesita calorías y nutrientes adicionales si amamanta durante el embarazo. Vea a su profesional de la salud o a un dietista para planificar su dieta.
  • Es posible que experimente más fatiga, náuseas y dolor en los pezones si amamanta durante el embarazo.
  • Su provisión de leche puede caer alrededor del cuarto mes del embarazo. El bebé que toma el pecho puede comenzar a dejarlo naturalmente más o menos para esta época.
