First days of breastfeeding

It is time for birth. The baby emerges from your womb, following nine months of living under optimal conditions. He now needs to adapt to a whole new world, and we can make for a swift adjustment. It is important that we create as supportive an environment as we possibly can, and one of the best ways to do this is by breastfeeding.

The time you spend feeding the baby is an important foundation for the bond between you and your baby. This repetitive experience builds his trust and realization that "someone that is ready to anticipate my needs and provide them" He learns to make the connection between that "someone" and you, his mother.

Breastfeeding is a conversation, a form of communication between you and your baby. When your baby gets hungry he will make a sign: panting, crying. You, his mother, come with milk. At first the baby will eagerly search for your breast, being hungry as he is. He then pauses and starts alternating his attention between mom and the milk, thus, initiating conversation just like in a game of catch, the ball of conversation is passed in intervals between the two of you. He expects you to catch the ball, and he awaits your reaction. He craves for you to look at him when he is looking at you, and sometimes for you to talk to him. When you are looking at him, paying attention to him at these pauses, he can feel your interest in him and feels how important he is to you. For this reason it is important, at least in the first few weeks of breastfeeding to try and be focused on your baby. Look at him, caress him. At this intimate hour don't watch TV or talk on the phone. Dedicate yourself to him completely. In doing so you are laying a positive ground for his development. Professional Nursing Advisors insist holding the baby in an uncomfortable position is the prime reason that most women do not have success breastfeeding.
As soon as the baby is born, from the first feeding, you should put an emphasis on the most comfortable way to place your baby on your breast. This way, breastfeeding will easily become a source of happiness and health to both of you. It is possible to breastfeed in an array of positions. Choose the position most comfortable to you, making sure that it is also a comfortable position for your baby to nurse without making an effort on his part. Remember: By breastfeeding your baby you gain the opportunity to form a strong bond between the two of you. Whichever method you to feed your baby, it should be an experience you both share and enjoy.
