Breastfeeding : 12 keys to a
happy experience
Breastfeeding is still the best way to
feed a newborn. The breast milk's
composition is ideal for the growing needs
of the baby and contains favorable amounts
of nutrient to ensure a proper development
of his brain. Breast milk also contains
antibodies which can protect against
benign and more serious infections.
Breastfeeding a newborn baby is not
without its challenges and most nursing
women will need the support of her
environment. There are some proven tricks
and tips that can help a new mother find
her breastfeeding experience a more
pleasant one.
Keeping the newborn baby close day and
night will insure that the nursing mother
will get accustomed to its schedule and
will rapidly recognize its needs. Being
convinced that breastfeeding is a natural
and very normal and easy process greatly
helps. If a nursing mother feels she lacks
the support she needs in her experience,
she should discuss it further with her
spouse and family. Joining a breastfeeding
support group is also an invaluable
resource.

Breastfeeding rapidly during the first
hour after the birth reassures the baby
that milk is readily available and that a
loving mother is there for him.
Frequent feedings given whenever the
baby shows signs of hunger is a very good
way to ensure that baby is happy and that
the milk production is stimulated.
Learning to decode the many moods of a
newborn baby will help to recognize and
differentiate between when he is tired
than when he is hungry.
Avoiding to give formula milk for the
first few weeks ensures that the milk
production is well started and that baby
really gets used to feeding at the
breast.
Avoiding to give solid foods too early
also ensures that baby will get most of
his nutrients fro the breast milk, the
best food for the first few months.
A calm mother has more ease
breastfeeding. Staying away from
unnecessary torments and endless
discussions are best.
Slowing down and living at the new
baby's rhythm ensures that the milk
production will always be sufficient. It
is highly recommended to set aside the
unnecessary tasks and tolerate a little
more disorder in the house. Hiring
temporary house help might be a
solution.
Ensuring that the baby has a proper
position when hatched-on to the breast
will make his experience a comfortable
one. A breastfeeding baby should have the
entire nipple in the mouth and proper
clearance of his breathing airways.
A breastfeeding mother should trust her
capacities to feed her little baby.
Getting out at least once per day will
also help her to keep a good and happy
mood.
Proper rest and sleep for the nursing
mother is essential. She should also keep
herself well-hydrated as breastfeeding
requires a lot of fluid.
Accepting all the help that is offered
is the main key to a successful
breastfeeding experience. Often, the
spouse or family is more than happy to
take over the other chores the
breastfeeding mother can delegate such as
preparing meals or changing the baby's
diaper.
