10 Tips that New Moms don’t know about Breastfeeding
1. Start breastfeeding your baby immediately right after she is born
Soon after delivery hold your baby close to give skin to skin body contact in the delivery room & also start breastfeeding within half an hour of delivery. Colostrum, the breastmilk during the first 2-3 days after delivery, though scanty, is highly nutritious, protective & also sufficient for the baby.
Do not give glucose/jaggery/sugar/plain water or honey before the first breastfeed (No Prelacteal feeds)
2. Keep at it
Breastfeed every two hours in the beginning. Keep trying, even if the flow of the breastmilk appears to be slow or completely blocked. The more you try in the first 7 to 10 days, the easier it will get for you. Keeping your baby with you in the same bed may actually help getting more milk.
