Philips AVENT Guide to Breastfeeding
This guide takes you through the process of breastfeeding step by step to help you make informed decisions about what’s right for you and your baby.
Breastfeeding – Part 4 – Finger Feeding
Using a lactation aid at the breast may be helpful. The baby is more likely to latch on if the flow is rapid, and the lactation aid increases the milk flow to the baby.
Breastfeeding – Part 3 – Right Position
Choose a comfortable chair with firm back support to sit upright. Your back must be straight, your lap flat and feet supported, do not lean back or tip forward.
Breastfeeding – Part 2 – Latch on
Experts recommend that you try to latch your baby onto your breast as soon as possible after birth when the baby is usually quite alert. Correct positioning of your baby is the key to successful breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding – Part 1 – Ready to Feed
Babies must make eye contact, root and drool, put the hands in the mouth and ask for food before you offer the breast or bottle.
Breastfeeding And The Working Mother
Babies who are breastfed through the first year of life have fewer illnesses and a lower chance of death and serious illness.
