Breastfeeding has numerous benefits for babies and their mothers.
Practical tips for breastfeeding:
Don’t panic! It can take 3-4 days for milk to come in
Frequent feeding is key: 8-12 times per 24 hours. Breastfeeding in the early weeks is a natural system of supply and demand. The more you breastfeed, the more milk you will have.
It is important to make sure you are comfortable and that your baby’s head is positioned well at the breast. Baby’s head should be in the crook of your arm with your nipple directly in front of his mouth.
