Breastfeeding tips
Ten Breastfeeding Tips The following are the top ten tips that will ensure your breastfeeding experience is trouble-free and you and your baby remain healthy. 1. Eat a healthy, balanced diet while breastfeeding to ensure you get plenty of iron, protein and calcium. 2. Try to feed frequently, as this will help you to maintain your milk supply. 3. At each feed, offer both breasts, but wait until your baby seems finished with one before changing over. 4. If your breasts start to feel uncomfortably full, try to encourage your baby to feed with gentle techniques like unwrapping them and placing them on your bare chest where they will smell your milk. 5. You can keep expressed milk in a sealed container in the back of the fridge (not the door) for three to five days. 6. If your breasts are leaking, try using breast pads to absorb leaking milk. 7. If your nipples are sore, dry and/or cracked, the positioning and latch of the baby may need correcting. 8. Find a comfortable position to feed in whilst lying down, as this will give you a chance to have a break. 9. As for your partner’s support, ask for them to bring you some water and a snack whenever you are feeding. 10. Get a good chair or breastfeeding pillow and create a feeding area with some magazines or books so you can relax while you feed.Contemporary Designs A good breastfeeding top is also very important for proper care while breastfeeding your baby. To find the perfect one for you, please head over to Bellicious. The idea of “Bellicious” was born three years ago when the proprietor of the company was pregnant with her second son.
