Breastfeeding tips from Experts: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe1JiOV7mOvKwTiVGEn3zVg
1. Listen to Your Baby
A newborn will “talk” to you and let you know when it is time to eat! Most babies will want to breastfeed at least every three hours until they gain weight. As you near the 3-hour mark, watch for signs that your baby is getting hungry: increased movement, lip movement, and sucking. Most of the time, your baby will nurse about 20 minutes on a breast. After that length of time, burp the baby then offer the second breast. If he is still hungry, he will begin to nurse on the second breast. If he is full, be sure to start the next feeding on the other breast to ensure that each breast is emptied regularly.
2. Hold off the Pacifier
With your newborn, do not offer a pacifier until both of you are comfortable with the breastfeeding routine. Within 3-4 weeks, you can begin to offer a pacifier if your infant seems to want more sucking.
3. Find the Best Breastfeeding Position
You and the baby will both be more comfortable if you use the best breastfeeding position. If the baby cannot latch on to your nipple, the baby will become frustrated and your nipples are likely to get sore.
4. Eat the Right Things
If you established healthy eating patterns during your pregnancy, you probably will not have to make too many changes now that you are breastfeeding. In general, the calories you burn by breastfeeding will require that you eat up to 500 additional calories each day. Make sure these calories count by eating a well-balanced diet that contains healthy amounts of all the food groups. Avoid too much caffeine and alcohol although you can have a small amount of each if you feel a craving. Avoid foods that make you gassy, since these foods are likely to pass through the breast milk and make your baby gassy, also. Typically, your baby will let you know if a specific food does not agree with her digestion. Simply avoid those foods until you stop breastfeeding.
5. Know How Often to Nurse
A newborn will need to nurse every two to three hours around the clock. Look for the signs of hunger mentioned in the first point above. If you wait until your baby starts crying, your breastfeeding experience will start off wrong and both you and the baby may be frustrated by the experience. Let your baby tell you when she is hungry!
6. Register for a Class
Before your baby is even born, you can sign up for breastfeeding classes that will provide you with the information you need to be successful. Check with your hospital to see if there are breastfeeding classes in your area.
7. Join La Leche League
La Leche League is an organization that has promoted breastfeeding for over 40 years. Joining this organization and attending the meetings will allow you to get your questions answered by mothers who have actually experienced many of the same problems you are having. If there is not a La Leche League group in your area, read the book The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding that was written and edited by members of the organization.
8. Deal with Problems with Breastfeeding
Among breastfeeding tips, dealing with breastfeeding problems is one of the most important. Almost every breastfeeding mother will have an occasional problem with the process.
