BABY BREASTFEEDING : Many new mothers find breastfeeding to be one of the most amazing acts of motherhood as,for the first time, they provide nourishment for their baby. Having said that, it's important to be honest about breastfeeding: although it is a natural act, it does not always come naturally.
Breastfeeding takes patience and practice. If you are having trouble with, for example, getting your baby to latch on, or you find that the process is causing you pain, you could probably seek help. Talk to other mothers, your nurse, paediatrician or take a course at the hospital on how to breastfeed new-born. Here WE TELLS tells you some important things a mother should know about breastfeeding.
Get an Early Start
A good time to begin breastfeeding is soon after delivery, when your baby is awake and the sucking instinct is strong. Even though you won't be producing milk just as yet, your breasts contain colostrum, a thin fluid that contains antibodies. Starting early is one of the most valuable breast feeding tips that new mothers might miss out on. Keep this in mind to avoid complications in the future that might prove stressful for you and your new-born. Proper Positioning
For new moms it is important to know how to breastfeed properly. Your baby should be positioned comfortably on your lap or in your arms. Perhaps you could also use a pillow to support her head, or use one behind your back to make sure you are at ease. A comfortable seating and nursing position will minimize soreness on your breasts. Ask a paediatrician, nurse or other knowledgeable person around you if you are unclear about the process. The process might take some time in the beginning, but eventually with help from experienced mothers or nurses, and also your own maternal instincts, you will settle on a position and routine that‘s comfortable for you and your baby!
Nurse on Demand
Newborns need to be nursed frequently (about every two hours), but not necessarily on any strict schedule. Feeding your baby on demand will stimulate your breasts to produce plenty of milk. Later, your baby can settle into a more predictable routine. However, because breast milk is more easily digested than formula, breast-fed babies usually eat more frequently than bottle-fed babies.
Engorgement
As a new mother you will usually produce a lot of milk, which can make your breasts big, hard and painful for a few days. To relieve this engorgement, look up on some infant feeding guidelines, and read about experiences shared by other women who might have gone through something similar.
No Supplements
If you are concerned about your baby not getting enough to eat, talk to your doctor. Don't give your baby sugar water or other supplements if you feel that you're not producing enough milk.
Delay Artificial Nipples
Almost any newborn feeding guide would suggest you to delay artificial nipples! It's best to wait a week or two before introducing a pacifier, so that your baby doesn't get confused. Artificial nipples require a different sucking action than real ones. Sucking at a bottle can also confuse your baby, making it hard for her to be breastfed.
Use Nursing Pads
Use nursing pads to help absorb any leakages and avoid embarrassing situations when you‘re out in public.
Spitting Up
It's common for babies to spit up during or after a feeding. Most babies will outgrow this by their first birthday. Although run-of-the-mill spitting up is common, consult a doctor if your baby is not gaining weight, is vomiting quite frequently (versus just spitting up), or simply refusing feeding.
Nipple Cracking
In the early postpartum period, you may experience cracking. If this happens, check with your doctor to get practical advice. If your nipples do crack, rinse them with clean water after nursing, followed by gentle cleansing Watch for Infections
Symptoms of breast infection include fever, painful lumps and redness in the breasts. These require immediate medical attention.
Eat Right and Get Rest
Any baby feeding guide will tell you to take good care of yourself, so that you are fit and healthy to provide your baby with all the nourishment she needs. Breastfeeding mothers should eat a balanced, nutritional diet which should generally include an extra 500 calories a day. Consider giving up caffeine altogether and avoid alcohol. Take care,Love you all
