Even though women have been doing it since the beginning of time, breastfeeding can come with its own challenges. It’s important that you get all the information you can before embarking on your wonderful journey with your new baby. Here’s the beginning of everything you need to know about breastfeeding. Use these tips to further your research and ask the right questions.
A - Assistance: Don’t be afraid to ask for help! Some women feel unwomanly or like bad mothers if they need help, but it’s perfectly fine to ask your mom, sister, friend, or lactation consultant.
B – Bonding: Nursing is a powerful bonding experience for both mom and baby.
C - Colostrum: The first milk your breasts produce during the early days of breastfeeding designed to pass along loads of carbohydrates, protein, and antibodies.
D - Ducts: One of the challenges of nursing are plugged milk ducts. They can be painful and prevent you from breastfeeding well.
E - Ear infections: Breastfeeding can help prevent ear infections by helping pass immunities along to your baby early in life.
F – Football Hold: This is one of the nursing positions lactation consultants recommend for the mom who's had a C-section and also for mothers with large breasts or small babies. This is also popular with mothers of twins who want to feed the babies at the same time.
