Baby, Me and Breastfeeding highlights the intimate connection and essential nutrients shared during nursing, fostering a strong bond between mother and child. This nurturing process supports the baby's growth while promoting maternal health and well-being.
People think worlds best experience for a women is going through childbirth and feeding a baby but only a mother knows its not always the best experience she might have, apart from all the pain ,now she has to feed the baby which is not a easy task. Even with so much support and help still she can feel disappointed in herself and have self doubts if she is feeding the baby properly , am I starving the baby, how to know my baby is full , my baby sleeps between the feed what should I do. Don't lose hope in your motherly instinct you will gradually learn.
Just keep few things in mind when you are feeding the baby:
- Check for gas formation or soiled diaper because that can irritate the baby and baby wont feed well.
- A proper latch should be established.
- Even after a good amount of feeding time if the baby is still fussy baby's needs are still to be addressed.
- Not all cry is for feed.
- Avoid bottle feeds to the newbies until medically advised.
