May 2, 2022 by Eighty Mph Mom Leave a Comment

Being a mom is one of the most beautiful things in the life of a woman, and getting to see your baby for the first time is named to be one of the happiest moments in life. However, this new role comes with many responsibilities. Among the first nurturing acts, you will learn is how to breastfeed your newborn child. We have useful breast feeding tips that can help.

Although breastfeeding is a natural act, it can induce anxiety since it is a new experience for you on this journey, and you are concerned about providing enough food and nutrition for your baby. This makes you think what is the correct way you breastfeed your child and probably a million questions are flooding your mind. To this end, here are some useful breastfeeding tips you can use when breastfeeding your newborn. 

 

You Can Predict When Your Baby Is Hungry 

 

You do not have to wait for your baby to cry for you to know that the baby is hungry. Instead, you can anticipate when your baby is hungry and watch for a couple of tell-tale signs indicating lunchtime. Some of these signs include repeated head turns and rises, they are constantly opening and closing their mouth, sucking on their clothes or whatever is near them, and they stick their tongue out once in a while. In case you notice your baby-making these moves, then you should feed them straight away. This will make your infant pleased since they won’t have to exert too much effort to earn your attention.

Be Comfortable When Breastfeeding Your Baby 

 

You should know that you will spend quite some time in a single position while breastfeeding your baby. In case you do this in an uncomfortable position, then you will find yourself struggling in no time. Hence, if you sacrifice yourself and spend all of this time in an uncomfortable position, then your back, shoulders, and neck will suffer and soon, you will feel unbearable pain. An uncomfortable position will not only influence you but your baby as well. Constant moving and squirming on your behalf will eventually lead to disturbed breastfeeding, irritability, and increased hunger. So, while breastfeeding, it’s necessary not only for you to be comfortable and in a supported posture, but also for your baby to feel well.

 

There are two positions you need to consider. You can lie on the side and let your baby face you while breastfeeding, or sit in a reclined position so that baby rests in your arms. If you want to be even more comfortable when breastfeeding, you should try out a breastfeeding carrier. If you have struggled with which one to pick, you should see the reviews on the best baby carrier for breastfeeding and pick the one that will suit your needs the best. It is very important to find the best breastfeeding position as soon as possible so that future nursing days can go smoothly and without struggles. 

 

Let the Baby Set the Breastfeeding 

 

Your baby is the greatest judge of its own requirements, therefore you should follow their routine. Setting the intervals and the precise time you will feed your child and then denying them food because not enough time has passed is definitely not a smart idea. Also, you should not disturb your baby’s sweet slumber because too much time has passed since you last breastfed them. Let your baby sleep and feed them once they wake up. Speaking of this, you should also let your baby determine how long they will eat. You should remember that your little one knows their needs better than you. So, do not be concerned if your breastfeeding lasts for only ten minutes or stretches to be an hour-long session.

You Need to Be Relaxed

 

When you make sure that your baby is comfortable and ready for nursing, it is your turn to give your best to relax. Babies are far smarter than you would think, and they can detect when you’re worried about nursing and won’t be at peace. Your baby will not relax unless you are relaxed. Additionally, you should inspect the environment you are in. So, if the environment makes you anxious, then you should change it and find a spot that will make you feel relaxed. 

 

Breastfeeding may be a stressful activity for first-time mothers. Most women associate it with uncomfortable pain in their breasts and pain while their baby latches. However, this is normal because of the sudden milk flow. You need to be aware of how important breastfeeding is and make sure you know a couple of tricks that will make it a comfortable experience.
