Many women want breastfeeding to happen naturally, especially if this is their first child. However, it's not always as easy as it seems. Perhaps you only need a few tips to learn how to breastfeed yourself and enjoy the time spent feeding your baby.
1. You should have already decided that you want to breastfeed and have already returned home. If you're like me, then the nurse at the hospital who was supposed to teach you how to breastfeed your baby didn't help you in any way. You may not have any milk for several days. But when it appears, you will understand it. You will feel tingling and pain in your chest, your chest will become very firm, but at the same time the sensations will be pleasant. During breastfeeding, it is better to give up push-up bras (they lift the breasts). 2. Keep your baby in the feeding position that is most convenient for you. Today, there are many websites on the Internet where you can find information about the position for breastfeeding and how to hold a newborn. 3. Let the baby grab the breast. To do this, open the baby's mouth wide with the tip of your finger. When the mouth opens, give the baby a breast and start feeding. 4. If the baby is holding the breast incorrectly. If the grip is done incorrectly, you will notice it after a couple of days: the nipples will start to hurt a lot compared to if the baby was holding the breast correctly. Due to improper grip, bruises or cracks may appear on the nipples, and they may start to bleed. After correcting the grip, you will notice the healing of the nipples after a few days, and the unpleasant sensations will pass. 5. Do not place the center of the nipple in the center of the baby's mouth. It is better to place the nipple not in the center, but closer to the upper lip. Try different positions to find the one that will best suit your feeding method. 6. During each feeding, give the baby both breasts in turn and for the same amount of time. If you give your baby only one breast at a time, then the breasts will become different sizes, and this difference will be noticeable. 7. Take care of your nipples after feeding. I recommend using a lanolin cream after each feeding and applying a cooling gel pack for 10 minutes at least once a day. If you have damaged nipples, a cooling gel pack will really help. 8. You need to understand that the nipples need time to get used to the fact that your baby is sucking them. Be patient for at least a month before giving up breastfeeding. Be persistent and do not use bottles during this month. If you don't have enough milk, buy a breast pump, and after you feed your baby with each breast, apply the breast pump to your breast for 5-10 minutes. You will notice that after about a week there will be more milk.
