3 tips for the first lactating mother
1. Put the newborn to breastfeed as soon as possible. Many hospitals are already betting on early breastfeeding. This consists of bringing the newborn baby to his mother's breast immediately after birth so that breastfeeding begins as soon as possible. The first instinct of the baby will be to look for food. The first skin-to-skin contact between the baby and the mother, favor the initiation and success of breastfeeding.
2. After a cesarean section, you should also try to keep the baby close. The link favors the grip, and many hospitals also try to avoid separation between mother and child after a cesarean section.
3. The first hours. The first two hours after delivery are key to ensure the success of breastfeeding, because the baby is very awake and the mother is also very receptive. After those first hours, both the baby and the mother are tired. The baby will appear sleepy, and the mother will feel exhausted. Therefore, it is important to start breastfeeding before this happens.
