Every mother knows that breastfeeding is never easy, so here are great tips for breastfeeding that can help you through this challenging but wonderful experience.

Top 10 Helpful and Effective Tips For Breastfeeding Success

1. Find the right doctor for consultation.

Make sure you are in touch with the doctor who helped you through your pregnancy or someone that you have been taking your baby to. Do not shy away from second opinions when it comes to your baby's matters.

2. To take intense care for the first six weeks

It is advised by all doctors and people with experience that it is essential to take extreme care for the first six weeks postpartum. You need to give your body time to heal from childbirth even while you are continuously tending to your baby with breastfeeding and other aspects.

3. Join a support group.

It is always good to know that you are not alone in this journey of motherhood. It is encouraged to talk to fellow new mothers or join support groups to discuss and understand what the journey is. This will also help you with all the overwhelming feelings.

4. Learn how to hand express.

It is important that you are aware of how to hand expression can help in breastfeeding. Knowing hand expressions during breastfeeding will guide the baby better, and he or she will be able to latch, therefore giving you a smooth process. This also mainly helps with boosting your milk supply. 

5. Frequency in Feeding:

This is something that is naturally communicated from the baby to you but make sure you notice the frequency. You have to breastfeed the child whenever they need to because, in the initial few months, that is their only source of food and energy.

Familiarize yourself with their hunger pattern. It is best to feed them in an interval of every 2-3 hours and at least 8-12 times a day.

6. Take a breastfeeding class.

We never stop learning things, and the more you have on board, the better judgments you can make on things. Motherhood is a whole new learning process, and breastfeeding is one of the most vital processes in it.

It is more than feeding; it is the most intimate connection a mother and child share. Therefore, to understand it in detail, you can always take a class.

7. Make sure your baby has a good latch.

Having a proper latch is very important because if that is weak, it can make way for a lot of problems. Ensure that the milk is being transferred rightly by your baby and immediately stop if you go through any pain or discomfort.

8. Have your support system informed.

You do not have to go through this journey alone. Remember that your loved ones will always be by your side. Involve them in the activities you do and educate them about breastfeeding so that they understand and can support you through the process.

9. Normalize having bad days.

You are already a superhero for going through your pregnancy and birthing a child. Motherhood is not easy and especially breastfeeding.

You will have your bad days, and it is okay. Acknowledge them and take it slow because it definitely gets better with time.

10. When you need help, reach out.

It is completely fine to be wanting help here and there, emotionally and physically, because you are on a full-time duty of taking care of a new human. Be aware of your postpartum blues and reach out to your doctor or your loved ones whenever necessary.
