Breastfeeding Latching on, feeding and positioning

The correct positioning and technique for that lock to prevent nipple pain and allow the child to get enough milk. The "rooting reflex" is the natural tendency of children to turn against her breast with his mouth wide open, mothers sometimes use this by gently stroking the cheek of the child, or lips with the nipple to bring the child to move into position for a breastfeeding session, and then quickly move the baby to the breast while the baby's mouth is wide open. To prevent sore nipples and let the baby is getting enough milk, much of the breast and areola need to enter the mouth of the child. To help the baby out, tickle baby's lip with your nipple, wait until the child's mouth opens wide, then put the baby against the nipple quickly so that the baby has a mouthful of nipple and areola. Nipple should be at the back of the neck of the child with flat lying tongue of your baby in the mouth.

Flat or inverted nipples can be a massage for the baby will have more to endure. Resist the temptation to go to the baby as this can lead to bad decisions.

Pain in the nipple or breast is associated with incorrect feeding techniques. If the lock is one of the main reasons for ineffective feeding and can lead to health problems in children. A 2006 study found that inadequate parental education, breastfeeding techniques, poor, or both were associated with higher rates of preventable hospitalizations in infants.

The child may move away from the nipple after a few minutes or after a much longer period. Feeds within normal may take a few sucks (newborns), 10 to 20 minutes or longer (on request). Sometimes, after finishing one breast, the mother may offer the other breast.

Although the majority of women breast-feed their children cradling position, there are many ways to keep feeding the baby. It depends on the mother and the child's comfort preference, and feeding a baby. Some babies prefer one breast to another, but the mother should offer both breasts at every care her baby.

When tandem breastfeeding, the mother is unable to move baby from one breast to another and comfort can be a major problem. Because breastfeeding tandem extra pressure on the arms, especially as babies grow, many mothers of twins recommend the use of pillows for support.
