Breastfeeding

Description

This breast feeding article is a 17 page document on how to breast feed and covers the time from before your breast milk comes in.

It includes advice on these breast feeding topics:

• what you will need to breast feed,
• what benefits your baby and you will get from breast feeding,
• how to tell if your baby is correctly latched on,
• why not to breast feed on a four hourly routine,
• why and how to express,
• how to store breast milk,
• warming breast milk,
• common problems while breast feeding,
• should you watch what you eat while breast feeding and
• a list of the most common questions I get asked.

This article includes the routine for breast feeding your baby from birth to one week. The article is a must for first time parents; although many of my second time parents who have read this article have said “they wished they had had it for their first baby.”
