Breastfeeding tips
A few breastfeeding tips for a new mom :
- Nurse as soon as possible after your baby's birth.
- Establish proper latchon. This will eliminate much of the pain and soreness associated with breastfeeding.
- Avoid artificial nipples.
- Donot restrict the frequency or length of breastfeeding.
- Sleep when your baby sleeps.
- Have a glass of cold water or juice everytime you site down to nurse, this will make sure you drink enough fluids.
- Avoid bras and tight-fitting clothing in the first few weeks of birth if you have sore nipples.
- Shop for a good nursing pillow to support you and your baby while breastfeeding.
- If you experience pain during breastfeeding, don't hesitate to seek help from your doctor or a lactation consultant.
thanks for dropping by.. i cant actually access your other blog's font.. it just shows up with a lot of questionmarks in firefox :)
Isha, I think you don't have the tamil font installed. Try to install it and you will be able to enjoy my blog.
Kavya,you have so much knowledge about babies.Are you a pediatric?
I have a question ,for how long can a pumped breast milk be fed to a child?Should you keep that milk in the fridge or just outside?
@sm : Nope ! Just a mom of a 10 month old :) Don't store your pumped milk outside, store either in refrigerator or freezer.
You can use your pumped breastmilk within 24 hours if stored in refrigerator , upto 1 month in freezer. Lemme write a post specifically on this soon.
