Have a new baby? Wondering about breast feeding your new baby?
Happygreetings collects the following tips of breast feeding. Hope these can help you nursing your baby.
The more the baby nurses, the more milk the mother will produce. So keep trying even if
your milk is not enough at the beginning. To setup a schedule and keep on the schedule will also
help to produce more milk for your baby.
Eat right, get rest: To produce plenty of good milk, the nursing mother needs a balanced diet
that includes 500 extra calories a day and six to eight glasses of fluid. She should also rest
as much as possible to prevent breast infections, which are aggravated by fatigue.
To take a hot water shower will help you produce more milk.
Do not wake up your baby to feed during the night. This will help your baby sleep through the
night.
If you need to pump your milk out, keep thinking about your baby when pumping will help you
produce more milk.
If you want to stop nursing your baby, do it step by step. Give time for your baby to be familiar
with the bottle and fomular. And also give your time to let your milk reduce little by little.
