BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT AND ADVICE
REASTFEEDING SUPPORT I am a fan of "breastfeeding" or "nursing" - even an advocate perhaps. Breast feeding is not always an easy option to follow, but it is most often the most rewarding, enjoyable and best-suited for your baby. Breastmilk is not referred to as "liquid gold" for nothing - it is gold for your baby's tummy, taste buds, brain, and for your wallet too! It is the most natural feed for you baby.
PREPARING YOURSELF AND YOUR NIPPLES FOR BREASTFEEDING: TIPS FOR MOMS AND MOMS TO BEBREAST-FEEDING TIPS FOR NURSING MOMS 1. Prepare while pregnant - use a good, reputable "nipple cream" whilst pregnant to get your nipples ready for feeding 2. Don't put it out - breastfeed shortly after giving birth - (apparently this helps reduce chances of baby getting yellow - jaundice that is!) 3. When it comes to nursing or breast-feeding, the law of supply and demand applies. The more you feed, the more your body produces! Keep at it mommy! 4. Join a breastfeeding support group before you give up and of course 5. Talk to breastmilk champions like myself!
