WHY BREASTFEEDING?
(For more information on breastfeeding
I recommend you check out my site Breastfeeding
Help! where you'll find all the tools you need for a happy
and satisfying breastfeeding experience without problems.)
Bringing your new baby into the
world is one of the greatest and most profound experiences in
your life, and the beginning of a lifelong relationship of loving
and caring for this new creature, your very own child.
Feeding your newborn baby is one of your main contributions to
his normal growth and well being.Nature has provided you with
the most advanced, convenient and economic way of feeding your
baby: BREASTFEEDING.
Since breastfeeding is a natural
consequence to giving birth, many mothers assume that
knowing how to breastfeed comes also naturally. Unfortunately
reality is not like this,
breastfeeding is a skill that requires learning and practice.
Many women do experience some difficulty at the beginning while
learning to nurse,
especially first-time mothers.
Being well informed about all
aspects of breastfeeding will help you get it off to a good start
with confidence and let you enjoy that wonderful relationship
with your baby while providing
him with the best nutrition available.
Many mothers start breastfeeding
because they know it's best for their baby. If you have any doubt
about whether you want to breastfeed or not, the best way to
decide is to give it a try. Find out as much as you can about
the benefits of breastfeeding (there are lots!), how to start
breastfeeding and how to avoid common breastfeeding problems.
This summary will hopefully assist you towards a more enjoyable
breastfeeding experience. For more indepth breastfeeding information
and articles on how to solve breastfeeding problems I recommend

Breastfeeding has many advantages
for mother and baby!
ADVANTAGES FOR BABY
* Breastfed babies are proven
healthier; breastmilk contains antibodies, which help protect
your baby from colds, chest- and ear infections, stomach upsets
and diarrhea.
* Breastmilk is easily digested
and breastfed babies are very rarely constipated.
* Breastfed babies have fewer
allergies.
* Breastmilk contains Taurine,
an amino acid, which contributes to optimal brain growth.
* Breastmilk is constantly changing
in its composition as baby grows, to meet the changing needs
of the baby. It contains all the right ingredients your baby
needs to grow well and to develop. It is the only food needed
for your baby until he is about 6 months old.
* Breastfed babies are at less
risk for juvenile diabetes and crohn's disease.
ADVANTAGES FOR MOTHER
* Nursing soon after delivery
helps to contract the uterus and lowers the risk of postpartum
hemorrhage.
* Breastfeeding helps you lose
that extra weight you gained during pregnancy.
* Breastfeeding for at least
6 months helps protect against pre-menopausal breast cancer.
* Breastfeeding helps protect
against cervical cancer and osteoporosis.
* Breastmilk is always available,
needs no preparation, is always at the right temperature and
needs no refrigeration or sterilization.
* Breastfed babies are easy to
take with you, no need to take bottles etc. along.
* Night feedings are easier,
no bottles to heat up.
* Lots of physical contact brings
mother and baby emotionally closer and helps to develop a strong
bond between them.
WHAT CAN YOU DO DURING PREGNANCY
TO PREPARE YOUR NIPPLES FOR BREASTFEEDING?
At one time it was recommended to prepare your nipples during
pregnancy in order to avoid sore nipples during breastfeeding
(rubbing them with a towel or squeezing out colostrum).
This has not been proven helpful.
It is now recognized that poor positioning and latch-on of the
baby is the most common cause of nipple soreness in the early
weeks of breastfeeding and careful attention needs to be paid
to these aspects.
Nipple preparation is no longer recommended, but there are a
few things you can do during pregnancy:
Avoid using soap, alcohol or
antiseptics on your nipples since they can dry the skin.
Rinsing with plain water when you take your shower is enough.
If your skin feels dry you can put some modified lanolin or a
mild bodylotion.
It is a good idea to check for
flat or inverted nipples during the last months of pregnancy.
This can be done as follows: place a thumb and forefinger near
the base of the nipple and press gently together. If your nipple
does not come out far enough for you to grasp it, you may have
flat or inverted nipples and you may want to start wearing breast
shells during the last months of your pregnancy.
GETTING STARTED WITH BREASTFEEDING
When do I start breastfeeding?
The sooner the better.
Put your baby to the breast soon after birth, his sucking instinct
is strongest the first hour after birth. The baby's sucking will
contract your uterus and this will help to expel the placenta.
Breastfeeding soon and often from the beginning can help prevent
painful engorgement and your milk will come in sooner.
