Breastfeeding is a unique moment and essential experience for health and the bond between mother and baby. In this guide, we'll explore valuable tips from nurses, doulas, and obstetricians to help our mothers breastfeed healthily and comfortably.
During breastfeeding, mother and baby must be calm. Once the baby is comfortably positioned – for example, sitting with pillows supporting him – she brings him closer to the breast, maintaining head-to-body alignment.
Correct latching is essential for effective and comfortable breastfeeding. By tilting the nipple toward the baby's nose and letting the baby latch on to a significant portion of the areola beyond the nipple, the mother can help the baby latch properly.
4 Tips to improve the breastfeeding process:
- Position the baby facing the breast, with his chin touching the breast.
- Wait for the baby to open his mouth wide before offering the breast.
- With the lips facing outward, the baby's mouth must be wide open.
- The baby must suck the nipple and also a large part of the areola.
The mother's diet plays an important role in milk production. She needs to consume foods rich in nutrients, such as leafy greens, fruits, lean proteins and whole grains. Drinking plenty of water should be a priority to stay hydrated.
Try to be relaxed while breastfeeding, as stress can harm milk production. Find quiet moments with your baby while breastfeeding, celebrating this special moment of connection between you.
Breastfeeding is a beautiful experience that brings many benefits to the health of mother and baby. You can have a very successful experience with just a few improvements already mentioned above.
Remember that every mother and baby is different, so don't be afraid to ask for expert assistance and guidance to ensure your experience is easy and rewarding.
We hope that motherhood brings you and your baby a lifetime of love, health and bonding!
