How to breast-feed
Introduction
When you breast-feed, you provide your baby with the best possible nutrition. The best way to stimulate milk production is to have your baby feed directly from your breast. If this isn’t possible, your baby can drink expressed breast milk from a bottle. The first few weeks of breast-feeding can be challenging because of all the changes to your body and routine. Breast-feeding becomes easier over time, once your body has adjusted and you have learned breast-feeding techniques and how to manage common minor problems.
Key points:
Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for your baby.
The foundation for breast-feeding is established in the first few weeks after delivery.
Minor problems may occur during breast-feeding. But with proper planning, knowledge, and support, you can overcome these challenges and continue breast-feeding.
