Breastfeeding Tips – How New Mothers Can Feed Breast Milk to Babies the Easy Way

Breast milk is the first source of nutrition for young babies, and ensures their survival until they grow older to have other foods. As a new mom, it can be overwhelming to hold your bundle of joy in your arms and breastfeed him or her. Although you might find it easier to bathe, soothe or change the diaper of your kid, feeding breast milk can be a tough job. You can use these 5 breastfeeding tips to feed breast milk to your baby in an easier way.

Maintain a schedule

Your little one will sleep throughout the day in the beginning, but have to be fed breast milk after every 3 – 4 hours. Although waking him up from sleep might seem cruel, it is best that you feed him before he becomes too hungry for comfort. When with a ravenous appetite, he might latch on to your breasts improperly or drink with discomfort. Try to write down the hour and minute every time he is breastfed, so that you can maintain a proper schedule.

Wear a watch or bracelet

This is not for style, but for the sake of practicality. In the early days, breastfeeding takes more time and kids pass out after being fed one breast. Milk fills up on both breasts, and you have to feed both to your baby. Switch the watch or bracelet to the arm corresponding to the other breast, so that you know which breast the baby should be fed from. You will not like only one breast to be used and the other one to get engorged like a balloon.

Get enough Lanolin

Applying a generous amount of Lanolin onto the nipples before the feeding and in between the suckling sessions will make it easier for your breasts. This can make you more comfortable during the intense suckling sessions. As Lanolin is safe to digest for babies, you do not have to wipe it before feeding him again. Even a drop or two on each nipple would be enough to make you feel comfortable while feeding your breast milk. This is one of the most important breastfeeding tips that new moms should follow.

Wear proper clothing

Buy 6 – 7 nursing bras. You can find these in stylish forms, and in a wide range of colors. For the initial months, you might even keep wearing your maternity shirts – as you can manipulate them quickly to feed your hungry baby in seconds. Unless you are careful, your clothing can be stained by Lanolin. It is best that you should not buy any stylish clothing for the first 6 months. You will also burn a few calories with the breastfeeding sessions, and the reduction in size will make your clothes ill-fitting in form.

Buy a good chair

On an average, you will be feeding your newborn after every 3 – 4 hours for the first 6 months. You have to be comfortable while doing so, and ensure that your butt, legs and waist gets proper support and comfort during the sessions. This is among the most important breastfeeding tips to follow.
