General tips - Coaxing baby to the breast

Your goal is to coax the baby with the breast. Do not try to force your baby to breastfeed. Forcing the baby to the breast does not work, stresses the baby and can cause the baby to dislike the breast. As the baby gets better at breastfeeding and can get more milk through breastfeeding, she will trust that breastfeeding will work and she will have more patience when she latches on.

Wear clothes that allow very easy access to the breasts. The baby can get very impatient in the fraction of a second it takes for the mother to lift her blouse and undo the bra. Spend time, if possible, in a warm place that allows both mother and baby to be naked from the waist up. A lot of skin-to-skin contact can help your baby breastfeed better and even gain weight faster. Keep your baby with you as much as possible, and give him plenty of opportunities to breastfeed (even if he does not succeed). Put yourself skin to skin with him, first when you are sleepy, right after you bottle-feed him (or whatever he is supplying). In this way, the baby has the opportunity to sleep and wake up happily, skin against skin on the mother's chest, and the mother is there to catch the first signs of hunger. If the baby moves towards the breast and then falls asleep before even putting the mouth on the nipple, or after sucking twice, these are positive steps for the baby, do not fail. (Read more about kangaroo care or take a look at the book). Offer breast often. Try to breastfeed in the baby's favorite place, in his favorite position, in the bathroom, while walking, while lying down, with the baby in an upright position, with the baby on his back, while he sleeps, just when he wakes up, each time the baby Baby looks as if he might be interested, or in any other way that comes to mind, that is, anytime, anywhere. Avoid pressing the baby to breastfeed. Offer in an ultra casual way and pretend that you do not care if you refuse (it's easier said than done, but try not to show any frustration, your goal is to avoid pushing the baby to breastfeed). Do not hold the back of the baby's head or push or hold the baby against your chest. If the baby removes the breast, then do not try to make it return to the breast at that moment; just try again later If the baby seems frustrated when offering the breast, reduce the pressure and simply make the breast available (many skins on the skin!) Without offering it. It may be useful to have many skin-to-skin contact moments with the baby where you cuddle on your breast without pressure to breastfeed: give your baby control, so the baby can decide whether to breastfeed and when to stop breastfeeding and when to breastfeed. . Take your baby close to you (a sling or other baby carrier can help with this). "Use," hold, hold and hug your baby as much as possible; Carry the baby on your hip while doing other things, play with the baby and give great attention to the baby. Sleep near your baby. If the baby sleeps with you, you will have more skin-to-skin contact, and the baby will have more access to the breast (see this information on how to sleep well safely). If the baby is not in the same bed, have the baby's bed next to the bed or in the same room to be able to pick up early feeding signals, breastfeed more easily at night and sleep more. Nipples can be useful at times to make the baby move to the breast. Talk to your lactation consultant about the use of this tool. Nursing comfort is often the first to arrive, followed by nourishing breastfeeding. Offer breasts for comfort every time you see a possibility: at the end of a feeding when the baby is not hungry, when the baby goes to sleep or just wakes up, when the baby is asleep, and when he needs to suckle comfortably your baby actively resists breastfeeding, then try to encourage the comfort of breastfeeding after the baby is comfortable with skin-to-skin contact. After the baby is ready to breastfeed for comfort, you can also start working on breastfeeding for "meals." You are working to seduce your baby back to the breasts. Again, coaxial, do not force!

Suggestions for a typical nursing session

A very careful and supportive positioning can be very useful when the baby has problems breastfeeding; for example, a cross-cradle wait or a modified football retention may be useful. If your baby tolerates it, then work on the hitch for up to 10 minutes or so. If the baby is getting angry, then go with shorter sessions. It is not a good idea to keep trying for more than 10 minutes: after this baby is tired, the hooking will be more difficult and there is a risk that the baby will develop a dislike to the breast if it persists too long.

Do not continue to try to have the baby breastfeed after great frustration (either from the mother or the baby); stop for a moment and calm the baby (and give the mother a break) before continuing - allow the baby to suck a finger, or cuddle the baby high up between mom's breasts, or give the baby to dad. Sometimes it may be useful to offer a small supplement at the beginning of a feeding; This can alleviate the hunger of the baby, so she has more patience to work on breastfeeding. If you have been working on the hitch and hunger approaches the baby, quickly go to the alternative feeding you are using. If both are totally frustrated, give them a full diet, but if you think your baby is ready (and so are you), just offer enough supplement to calm him down and go back to work on breastfeeding. If the baby does not latch on or suck effectively (or suck for more than 3 sucks even with breast compressions), try to supplement with the breasts (see below) or stop and offer the baby a small supplement (1/2 oz more) or less expressed milk or formula), and then try again to breastfeed. If the second attempt is unsuccessful, continue and finish the food with whatever supplementation method you are using. Every time the baby does not breastfeed at all, or nurses but does not soften the breast well, pump after feeding the baby. This will help maintain your milk supply, plus you will have some "liquid gold" available the next time the baby needs a supplement. See Establish and maintain the milk supply when the baby is not breastfeeding.

Recommendations for a common nursing session

Exceptionally cautious, steady situating can be extremely useful when child is having issues breastfeeding; for instance, a cross-support hold or an altered football hold can be helpful.

In the event that your child is enduring it, at that point chip away at hooking for up to 10 minutes or something like that. In the event that infant is getting vexed, at that point run with shorter sessions. It's not a smart thought to continue striving for more than around 10 minutes – after this infant will be worn out, hooking will be harder, and there is a danger of child building up a repugnance for the bosom in the event that you persevere excessively.

Try not to keep endeavoring to inspire child to take the bosom after real disappointment (either mother's or baby's) sets in; stop for a bit and quiet infant (or potentially offer mother a reprieve) before proceeding – let infant suck on a finger, or cuddle infant high up between mother's bosoms, or hand infant to father.

Now and again it can be useful to offer a little supplement toward the start of a sustaining; this can bring some relief infant's yearning so he has more persistence to chip away at the breastfeeding. On the off chance that you've been dealing with locking and craving is getting in infant's direction, go rapidly to whatever option bolstering you're utilizing. In case you're both completely baffled, give an entire sustain, however in the event that you think your infant is available (and you are as well), just sufficiently offer supplement to quiet him and backpedal to chipping away at breastfeeding.

On the off chance that infant does not lock or does not suck successfully (or won't maintain a suck for more than 3 sucks even with bosom compressions), at that point either have a go at supplementing at the bosom (see beneath) or stop and offer infant a little supplement (1/2 ounce or so of communicated drain or equation), and after that have another attempt at nursing. On the off chance that the second attempt is unsuccessful, at that point simply ahead and complete the nourish with whatever strategy for supplementation you are utilizing.

Whenever that infant does not nurture by any stretch of the imagination, or medical attendants but rather does not mollify the bosom well, pump in the wake of sustaining child. This will keep up your drain supply, in addition to you will have some "fluid gold" accessible whenever infant needs a supplement. See Establishing and keeping up drain supply when infant isn't nursing.

Bottles nipples– yes or no?

Numerous specialists propose that child not get jugs or pacifiers while he is figuring out how to nurture effectively, with the possibility that his need to suck will enable the procedure along (nursing to will fulfill the need to suck). Obviously, in case you're working with a child who has areola perplexity, it's best to maintain a strategic distance from bottles (when mother and infant are as one, specifically) until the point when nursing is going great once more. On the off chance that child isn't locking on by any stretch of the imagination, you do need to adjust this with your infant's have to suck and solace level. 

Do consider giving your child his feedings by means of an option bolstering gadget other than a container, for example, a nursing supplementer, sustaining syringe, finger encouraging setup, adaptable glass, spoon, medication/eye dropper, and so forth.

In the event that you like to utilize a container for supplementing infant, it's not the apocalypse (or you're breastfeeding relationship). For a few mothers, utilizing a container is less demanding and more commonplace. In the event that you feel that utilizing a particular sustaining gadget (like a finger feeder or SNS) is basically excessively overpowering and different strategies (cup, dropper) are not working for you, utilizing jugs may make it less demanding for you to keep chipping away at the breastfeeding. In spite of the fact that jugs can surely have their weaknesses, a great lactation specialist ought to have the capacity to assist you to progress to breastfeeding with or without the containers. 

When utilizing a jug, urge infant to open wide preceding giving the jug. Stroke infant's lips from nose to jaw with the container areola, and hold up until the point when infant opens wide like a yawn. Enable your infant to acknowledge the jug into his mouth instead of jabbing it in. This will instruct your infant to open wide for feedings, which is a decent begin to getting on the bosom adequately.

How a Baby Latches on a Mom's Nipple During Breastfeeding

Feed the Baby!

Do not try to starve your baby into nursing. Your baby is not refusing to nurse just because he doesn’t want to and is being stubborn, so ignore anyone who tells you that baby will nurse when he gets hungry enough.

In general, a baby who won’t nurse, can’t nurse. Your goal is to identify why baby can’t nurse and either remedy the problem, work around the problem, and/or preserve your milk supply until the problem remedies itself ~ sometimes necessary for ill, small or premature babies ~. A board-certified lactation consultant is a great partner to have in this process.

Keep baby as full and happy as possible, i.e. continue to offer expressed mother’s milk, banked milk, formula or solids - if baby is old enough, but gradually get closer and closer to the nursing position, skin-to-skin, etc. Click here for tips for weaning from formula supplements.

Tips for How and When to Change Nipple Flow On Bottles

Being a mom - that’s so hard!

Here are some tips to help you figure out whether the nipple flow you are using is right for your baby and when it may be a good time to change the flow.

If you are an Avent bottle user and you need the right nipple flow for your baby, go and check this table, it gonna helps you understand which bottle nipple your baby needs!

When you’re choosing a nipple for your baby’s bottle, remember that a size one nipple in one brand may not be the same flow as a size one in another brand. For example, Avent nipple flow will likely be different than the Dr. Brown nipple levels flow or any other brands. Some moms avoid this issue by always using the same brand of nipple, while others may try several nipples until they find the right flow. Don’t feel like you have to start with size one just because your baby is young. A nipple in size two may work better for your baby. It’s good to remember that your baby should finish a bottle in around 15 minutes. This usually means that a nipple with a faster flow is needed when your baby starts drinking more ounces per bottle.

You may need to get a nipple with a slower flow if your baby is drinking their bottles too fast, especially if they often get fussy after eating. Watch your baby while they are drinking their bottle to make sure that they are not sputtering, gagging, or leaking milk out of their mouth. These are signs that you should use a nipple with a slower flow of milk. You want your baby to eat comfortably, but not drink too fast or swallow a lot of air while they are drinking.

Just as you’re likely to get frustrated if you’re having trouble getting your drink through your straw, your baby may get frustrated and upset if they are having trouble getting milk out of their bottle. If your baby is getting bored or angry during feedings, that’s when to change nipple flow on bottles. Try a nipple with a faster flow so that it’s easier for your baby to get his or her milk out of the bottle efficiently. It’s best to only go up one nipple flow at a time so that your baby isn’t overwhelmed by a big change in flow.
