Mother's milk provides all of the nutrients that a baby needs to grow and protects the baby against some illnesses. Women encouraged to breastfeed their babies.
Here are the basic steps:There are different ways you can hold your baby when breastfeeding. Ask your nurse, lactation consultant or nutritionist about them. Choose the position that is most comfortable for you.
a.
Hold your breast in one hand with your
fingers underneath and thumb on top. Keep your hand back from the areola, the
dark skin around the nipple. Your hand should not get in the way as the baby
latches on. Your baby needs to get the nipple far back in the mouth to nurse so
milk can flow easily.
b.
Put the baby's lips in front of your nipple.
Touch the baby's lips with the nipple until the baby's mouth opens wide. Pull
the baby quickly onto the breast. Once the baby starts sucking, you will feel a
tug on the nipple. It should not hurt after the first few sucks.
c.
If it does hurt, start over. Put your finger
in the baby's mouth between the gums and take your nipple out. Make sure the
baby's mouth is wide open and the tongue is down before the baby latches on
again. It is okay to start over.
