How to breastfeed a baby
Support for new parents and breastfeeding
We receive many questions about how to breastfeed a baby easily, successfully or well.
Success is individual and we aim to support each woman in achieving her desired goal.
There are lots of factors that affect breastfeeding. These include the pregnancy, birth, support people, among other things.
Women are born with milk making ability. How much is individual. Some women just don’t have much milk. We will work with you to make sure you learn how to breastfeed your baby meeting both your needs. When we discuss how to breastfeed a baby we will explore all this with you.
Stress of any nature can also affect supply including rest and sleep.
We will look at how to position your baby, how to get a really good latch and attachment. We will also teach you what to do when this doesn’t happen.
Sometimes you do everything right with the attaching and it still hurts. Sometimes it is the baby’s mouth or tongue that can cause this. Sometimes your baby will prefer his head or body in a certain position which may be difficult for you.
If it doesn't work, that is okay. We will still be here to support you no matter what.
We will look at both your baby and you to work out how to get the best for both of you.
