Feeding your baby may be the most satisfying experience for you if you have became parent for the first time. It's your decision to choose the way you feed your baby- breastfeed or bottle feed. The method should be appropriate for you, your partner and the baby. In this article we have chosen the first way- breastfeeding. Breast milk contains all the natural nutrients that are needed to your baby for the development and growth. Breast feeding is perfectly matched for any child. Breast feeded babies may also have less risks of development of many dieses such as infections, asthama, leukemia, etc. Some breastfeeding benefits for mother include faster postpartum recovery; cost-efficient; convenient; reduces risk of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer; quicker weight loss after birth. Sometimes you can not guess weather your baby is hungry or not. In such conditions, use clues that can be understood from the baby's activities. Opening mouth wide like a yawn with tongue down and forward over the bottom gum, smacking lips and thrusting the tongue, bringing hands up to the mouth, fluttering eyes and rapid eye movement, crying, are the signs that your baby is hungry. If your baby is crying, it is important to calm the baby before trying to feed him or her.
You should take appropriate position while feeding your child. The position should be comfortable to both, you and your child. You should Support your baby's head and body at the level of the breast. Turn your baby completely on his or her side with nose, chin, chest, abdomen and knees touching you. Make sure your baby's head is in a neutral position and your baby is ready to catch milk fro your breasts. Keep your baby's body close to you by placing your hand and arm along your baby's back for support. Support your breast with cupped hand (?C? hold) with thumb and fingers kept well back from the areola. Check out following points when our baby sucks milk. Your baby's jaw should be moving in rhythmic motion. Baby sucks slowly and deeply with short pauses. You may feel any of the following normal occurrences in your body: uterine cramping, increased bleeding, thirst, breast ache or tingling, relaxation, sleepiness.
Breastfeeding is a natural part of life. Babies are born with the instinctual knowledge of how to get food from its mother. If you place a newborn's mouth in the vicinity of the mother's nipple, he/she will naturally search it out and begin to suck. While most babies are able to breastfeed as soon as they are born, there are some that have difficulty. While breastfeeding comes naturally for babies, it takes a bit of practice for a mother. Some women need encouragement, while others find it to be second nature. One of the most important things to remember when breastfeeding is to make sure the baby's mouth is open wide enough to grasp onto the nipple and a portion of the areola. If the baby cannot master this, he can cause the mother's nipples to become so sore that they bleed and crack. When breastfeeding, it is important to use your free hand to support the breast from which the baby is feeding. This is done to ensure that the nipple stays in the baby's mouth and prevents it from blocking the baby's nose and airway. Babies can be positioned in different ways while they are feeding, but the preferred (and most comfortable) way is to hold him/her at the breast on his/her side or tummy facing you and within reach of the nipple. Because breastfeeding also helps a mother and baby bond, many experts recommend removing both your clothing and the baby's in order to facilitate skin-to-skin contact. Some babies need a little bit of encouragement to start feeding. A good way to help them is by expressing some milk into his/her mouth. This will motivate him/her to start sucking. Most doctors recommend that breastfed babies eat between 8-12 times daily to ensure proper nutrition. It was once believed that scheduling feeding times by the clock was the best method to ensure proper feeding, but now it is recommended that babies are fed on demand. An important thing to remember while breastfeeding is to check to make sure baby is actually getting milk and swallowing it. Some babies only suck and do not get any milk. If a baby does regularly, he/she will not be getting proper nutrition and will become dehydrated. A good way to ensure that your baby is eating enough is to feed him/her for a specific length of time at each breast. A lot of first time mothers are afraid that their bodies will not produce an adequate amount of milk for their baby's needs. This is a common fear, but not a valid one. A woman's body produces a chemical known as suppressor peptides that automatically regulate the milk production according to the baby's needs. This is also the case for women who express their milk. Your body will continue to produce milk until you begin weaning your baby. When this happens, your milk supply will slowly decrease until it stops altogether.
