How to start Breastfeeding in newborn baby
Breastfeeding is a crucial step in establishing a strong bond between a mother and her newborn baby. It is important to start breastfeeding as soon as possible after delivery to ensure that the baby receives the nutrients and antibodies needed to thrive.
To start breastfeeding, the mother should first position the baby so that their mouth is level with the nipple. The baby should be facing the mother, with their nose and chin touching the breast. The mother can then support the baby's head with one hand and use the other hand to guide the nipple into the baby's mouth.
Breast massage can be an effective way to stimulate milk production and ensure that the baby is receiving enough milk. To perform breast massage, the mother should use her fingers to massage the breast in a circular motion, starting at the outer edges and working toward the nipple. This can help to stimulate the milk ducts and increase milk flow.
It is important to ensure that the baby is latching onto the breast correctly to prevent discomfort and ensure that the baby is receiving enough milk. The baby should have a wide open mouth with their lips flanged outward around the nipple. The baby's mouth should cover a large portion of the areola, not just the nipple.
Breastfeeding can be challenging in the beginning, but with practice and patience, it can become a natural and enjoyable experience for both the mother and baby. It is important to seek support from a lactation consultant or other healthcare provider if any issues arise, such as sore nipples or difficulty with latching. With proper support and care, breastfeeding can be a wonderful and rewarding experience for both the mother and baby
