Feeding your news born here are some tips :

When you feed your child for the first time, it feels like a different kind of life. That moment is etched in the minds of all mothers. What makes that unique? It’s the first time you’ve ever fed a human. That human receives all of its nutrients from the food you provide, and this is what makes it unique.

You may have seen other mothers feeding their children throughout your life, and it may appear that breastfeeding your child is simple. Is it the case when you do it? As if breastfeeding were a natural process, experienced moms simply open their dress button and latch on to a baby. However, it does not come easy to new mothers at first. There are some strategies for determining when and how long your infant needs to be fed. You could feel more confident in feeding after learning these. Once you’ve mastered the art of feeding, parenthood becomes a breeze.

¶ When does your milk come in?

Colostrum is the first milk that comes out of your breasts after delivery. It’s thick and yellowish and contains an essential blend of proteins, vitamins, and minerals that help your child defend against bacteria and viruses while also stimulating antibody development. In newborns, it encourages bowel movements.
The next type of milk is transitional milk, which is a cross between colostrum and mature milk. It’s the first batch of milk to arrive. Lactose, fat, and calories are more abundant than immunoglobulins and proteins. This normally begins on the third day following delivery.
After day ten following birth, a mother’s milk may be mature, thin, and white. It comes with a packet of lipids and other nutrients that a growing child requires.

¶ How does the baby latches the milk?

Your infant may have trouble latching on to milk at first. You must attempt several positions in order for your infant to begin sucking effectively.

• Place your baby on your breast with his or her body facing you. Hold it in such a way that it is simpler to consume milk.
• Use your nipples to tickle your baby’s lip, which will cause your infant to open up wide. Drop some colostrum on its lips if it doesn’t open.
• Bring the baby up to your breast and hold it there until the infant grasps it firmly and begins sucking.
• Keep an eye on your infant to make sure he or she is drinking colostrum and not just gumming your nipples. Take note of the rhythmic moment of its swallowing breadth pattern and the action of the baby’s cheeks. Listen to the sound of milk being gulped. You can then check to see if your infant is adequately sucking milk.

¶ How long do you have to lactate your child?

You don’t have to stick to a strict nursing schedule; instead, let the baby decide when it’s full and remove the mouth.
• Lactating could take up to 20-30 minutes at first. Depending on your baby’s needs, it may take longer or shorter than this.
• You should drain one breast at a time on average, and then the next at the next feeding. Allow your baby to know when it needs to get off and is full, rather than pulling on your breast haphazardly. If your child has depleted one breast and is looking for more, move to the other.
• To finish, wait for the child’s signal. It will get off your nipples when the child is full. If it doesn’t, give them some time to latch on to the milk. Babies usually fall asleep after they’ve finished sucking, so this could be a hint that it’s time to remove them.

¶ How often do you have to feed?

• Babies should be fed whenever they are hungry, therefore there is no set number of times you must feed them; nonetheless, a newborn requires at least 8-12 feedings each day. As a result, you’ll have to feed them every two hours.
• Every child is unique, as are their eating schedules. Allow the youngster to pick how much and for how long he or she wants.

¶ What are the signs that the baby is hungry?

• Your baby begins to nuzzle around your breast
• Your baby may begin sucking your arms or shirt
• Your baby’s mouth is continuously open
• He or she begins to suck the lips of his or her tongue
• He or she begins to make lip-smacking sounds
• He or she begins to cry

¶ What are possible breastfeeding positions?

• The cradle should keep the infant in place – the baby’s head should rest on your elbow, and the same hand should support the baby’s torso. With your other hand, squeeze some milk over the baby’s lips while holding your breast.
• Holding your infant with the hand opposite the feeding breast in a crossover posture. With your other arm, you’re squeezing some milk.
• Football keeps the position: tucking your baby’s knees under your arms on the same side as the nursing breast. Allow latching while holding your kid with the same arm.

Furthermore, if your baby is satisfied, he or she may be joyful. Dirty diapers could indicate that the baby is getting enough nutrition.
