WHAT I WISH I KNEW: TIPS FROM BREASTFEEDING MOTHERS & LACTATION CONSULTANTS Take a breastfeeding class before delivery Breastfeeding is a natural, healthy choice for mom and baby. Learning how to breastfeed can help you in your journey. Regardless if you’re a first-time mom, have had a negative experience, or you’ve never nursed before, a prenatal breastfeeding class will prepare you.... Breastfeed in the delivery room Place your baby skin to skin after delivery. This will help regulate his body temperature, respirations, and glucose levels. Many babies will be interested in feeding shortly after birth and often find their way to the breast and latch! Early breast stimulation and skin to skin with your baby has a positive impact on your milk production. Remember your baby has a very small stomach capacity (about 1 teaspoon) so he does not require a large feeding. Your colostrum is all he needs at this point. Learn to hand express Learning this useful skill can help benefit both mom and baby. Studies have shown that early hand expression can also have a positive impact on milk production. See one of our previous blogs for details on this. Latch is key The position of your nipple and areola in the baby’s mouth is very important for comfortable breastfeeding and removal of milk from the breast. If you are in pain get help asap! Watch for hunger cues Rooting, hands to the mouth, tongue thrusting to name a few. Crying is a late sign of hunger. Offer the breast early and often. It is important to offer both breasts in the early weeks. Feed your baby throughout the night at first This helps bring about a good milk supply and assures that your baby gains weight appropriately. Avoid skipping feedings especially in the early weeks Frequent breast stimulation and removal of milk is key to establishing your milk supply. If milk is not removed this will signal your body to decrease production. You don’t need a breast pump right away Your baby is most efficient at emptying the breast. It is recommended your baby exclusively be at the breast for the first 3-4 weeks. (Continued in comments)
