How to Breastfeed?


To breastfeed successfully, it doesn't really matter where or how you sit or lie. All that matters is that you are comfortable and able to bring your baby to your breast easily. 

 The relationship between your baby's mouth and your breast, called latching on or the latch, is what really matters. Here are some ideas and pictures to help you latch your baby onto the breast.

 How do I get started?

 Sit comfortably, so that your back is supported and you are not leaning back. 
Raise your feet if you need to, so that your lap is flat. 

 You could use a pillow to take the weight of your baby, so that your arms are not doing all the work. Once you have had more practice, you can do without the pillow.

How do I latch my baby onto my breast?

To feed well, your baby needs to use his tongue to scoop in a big mouthful of your breast. 

 Your baby's bottom lip and tongue need to get to your breast first, and touch your breast as far from the base of the nipple as possible. 

 Bring your baby to your breast with his head tipped back. He should be leading with his chin. With his head tipped back, let his lips touch your nipple.

Your baby will respond by dropping his lower jaw. 

 Move him quickly and smoothly to your breast, aiming his bottom lip as far away from the base of your nipple as you can.

Scooping in a big mouthful of breast lets your baby draw your breast deeply into his mouth. 

 Your nipple will then be right at the back of his mouth, where the hard roof of his mouth gives way to the soft area. 

 With a mouthful like this, your baby will be able to use his tongue smoothly and rhythmically against the under surface of your breast. This action removes milk from the ducts. 

 Your baby's jaw will move up and down, following the action of his tongue, and he will swallow your milk as it flows to the back of his mouth. This should be painless for you, because your nipple will be so far back in his mouth it will not be squashed or pinched by his tongue. 

 Your baby's lower gum will never touch your breast, as his tongue will always be between them, and his top jaw does not move.
