Top Tips for breastfeeding

Here is some information if you are pregnant and plan to breastfeed your baby, or if you are still wondering what will be your feeding choices for your baby.

Breastfeeding a baby is something that all mothers are planned for, it's natural and breast milk is perfectly adapted for your little one. Just because it's natural doesn't mean it's easy and a lot of mothers are lost at the beginning of breastfeeding.

On average, it can take 4 to 6 weeks to feel comfortable with breastfeeding.

Here are some top tips that in our experience make breast-feeding easier:

1. Learn about breastfeeding and breast milk BEFORE the baby is born. There are a lot of things to know for the very first feeding and the first hours, and having prior knowledge can help prevent a lot of problems and early weaning.

2. Establish skin-to-skin contact with your baby as soon as he or she is born. This will waken their senses and encourage them to take to the breast.

3. Offer the breast as soon as baby starts to look for it, ideally in the first hour after birth. This will help get breast-feeding off to a good start.

4. Learn to recognize the signs indicating when your baby is hungry or satisfied.

5. Feed as needed whenever baby is hungry.
Frequents feeds stimulate milk production and comforts the baby during this important transition period.

6. Room-in with your baby, both day and night.
Keep your baby nearby so you can get to know each other and you can quickly respond to his needs.

7. Make sure your baby has a good latch and suction.
This helps your baby eat well without hurting mom. 90% of breastfeeding difficulties have their beginnings in a incorrect latch position (ni**le damage or pain, breasts engorgement, poor gain of weight, etc...) . Do not hesitate to ask for advice from a professional or even a friend.

8. Avoid skipping feeds, using pacifiers, and giving a bottle in the first four to six weeks. Exclusive breast-feeding encourages good milk production and ensures that your baby gets the full benefit of breast milk.

9. Get support and avoid isolation.
The support of your partner, a friend or loved one, or a community group can often make things better.

10. Trust yourself and enjoy to be a parent!
Staying positive ensures your breastfeeding experience will be a happy one and will creating a wonderful bond between you and your baby.

Dr. Bertille Bouvier is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) who can help with your breastfeeding queries. Anne-cecile Lemesle is a French Registered Midwife who hosts prenatal and postnatal education sessions and covers breastfeeding among other topics during the classes.
