The mothers felt overwhelmed by the task of feeding the infant when realizing that it was impossible to do it every 2 h because one cycle was over it was time to start another, given that the children took too long to complete the amount prescribed; they sucked weakly, slowly and made long pauses during which they fell asleep; when they finally finished the dosage, they had to take out the gases, a process that also took time and against which there were doubts such as: how long could the child be held with the head upright, how to know if all the gases were out.
Ellas se sintieron abrumadas con la tarea de alimentar al bebé al darse cuenta que era imposible hacerlo cada dos horas porque cuando se terminaba un ciclo era casi la hora de empezar el otro, ya que los niños tardaban mucho tiempo en completar la toma, succionaban con poca fuerza, despacio y hacían pausas largas en las que se dormían. Cuando finalmente terminaban la toma, debían sacarle los gases, proceso que también era dispendioso y frente al cual hubo dudas tales como cuánto tiempo acomodarlo con la cabeza levantada, cómo saber si ya había expulsado todos los gases, entre otras.
