If you are a woman who has had a baby and wants to practice breastfeeding, surely you have many questions about how to do it in the best way. Below we will offer you some key tips to achieve it.
Positioning of the baby in its first hour of life
You must make sure, after delivery, that the baby is placed on the breast during the first hour of life. If it had not been possible, do not let the first two hours pass to start breastfeeding.
Hygiene of your breasts
You must shower daily and have hygienic breasts and wear a proper bra. Also avoid using creams and lotions. The best thing is that you clean yourself with your own colostrum or with milk, immediately after breastfeeding.
Observe the shots during lactation
Looking closely at the shots is essential in the lactation. Observe the grip, which should be with the maximum areola of the chest in your baby’s mouth and with the nose glued to the ceiling, navel to navel, well aligned. If you see that your baby shows some restlessness, review the breastfeeding technique to correct position errors.
Ask for help in the hospital to learn well about breastfeeding
When you are in the hospital with your baby, after the delivery, ask them to teach you the best positions so that both you and your baby are comfortable during the process. Remember that the baby’s head should rest on the middle part of the forearm, not on the elbow, and the mouth should be wide open so that it covers the areola as much as possible and not just the nipple. Try to direct the nipple to the upper side and bring the baby closer to the breast in one quick movement.
