Introduction to
breastfeeding
Babies should be breastfed and/or receive expressed human milk
exclusively for the first six months of life. Breastfeeding should continue
with the addition of complementary foods throughout the second half of
the first year.
- The American Academy of Pediatrics
Anatomy of the breast
Your body is getting ready
• Darkening of the areola
• Growth of the breast
• Increased circulation
Baby is Getting Ready
• Sucks thumb
• Prefers circles to squares
• Sees contrast, light vs. dark
• Knows mother’s smell
Colostrum
• Thick, yellowish liquid
• First 48-72 hours
• Gives baby antibodies to protect your baby
from infections
Amazing Milk
• Your milk is made perfectly for your child
• Always clean
• Caregiver friendly stools
• Always the right temperature
• Natural tranquilizers
The First Week
• From colostrum to milk
• Baby suckling stimulates milk
• Milk comes in 3-4 days postpartum
• Breasts may leak
• Breasts feel full with possible engorgement
• Baby swallows more
Breastfeeding Benefits for Baby

• Introduce a bottle after nursing is well
established, at least 3-4 weeks
Happy Birthday Baby!
• Imagine the baby’s birth from the baby’s point
of view
• Cold
• Bright
• Noisy
• Bring the baby back to mom to help the baby
with transition to the outside world
• The less separation of mom and baby, the
better
Get Off to a Good Start
• Right after birth baby is most alert
• Early and frequent skin-to-skin contact
• Allow the baby to:
• Touch the breast
• Taste the colostrum
• Attempt to latch
Benefits of Skin to Skin

A Typical Feeding
• Look for hunger cues
• Latch baby on fullest side
• Burp baby, offer second side
• Baby will nurse for 10-45 minutes
• Feed on demand
Milk Production Tips
• Supply and demand
• The more the baby nurses, or the more you pump,
the more milk you will make
• Stay hydrated
• Supplemental or bottle feedings will decrease your
milk supply, especially in the early weeks
• Watch the baby not the clock
• Go everywhere with your baby
Signs Baby is Getting Enough
• Baby will:
• Nurse 10-45 minutes per feeding
• Nurse 8-12 times in 24 hours
• Have 6-8 wet diapers and 3-4 stools in 24 hours
• Mom will
• Hear swallowing
• Breasts will feel softer
• Change a lot of diapers
• Have the baby weighed if
there are concerns
What Can be Done if it Hurts?
• Home cures
• Lanolin
• Soothies
• Breast milk
• Check latch and position
Call Lactation or your Doctor if you
Experience:
• Pain
• Bleeding
• Flu-like symptoms
• Fever
• Frustration
Nighttime Feedings
• Parents need sleep, too!
• Baby will nurse at night
• Utilize a co-sleeper or bassinette
• Nap when baby naps
• Feeding more during the day means feeding less at
night
• Have partner give baby a bottle once nursing is
established
• Establish an overnight routine utilizing both partners
Utilizing a Breast Pump
• Not everyone will need a pump
• Great if you are going back to work
• Several different kinds of pumps
• Educate yourself prior to purchase
• Read the manual to use the pump efficiently
Pumping
• Always feed your baby first and then pump
• There is the most milk in the morning
• Pump/express as many times as you would
breastfeed baby while you are away from baby
• Breastfeed once you are with baby again
• Silicone milk collector
Storing Breastmilk
• Avoid adding freshly pumped milk to already
cooled milk
• Freeze milk in small portions
• Label containers with the date and baby’s
name
• Use oldest milk first
Milk Storage
Thawing Breastmilk
• Thaw breastmilk in the container it has been
stored in
• Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or hold
under/in warm water
• Never use a microwave or hot water
• Use thawed milk within 24 hours
• Never refreeze thawed milk
Bottle Feeding
• Paced bottle feeding
• Hold baby upright so baby has control of flow
• Alternate sides halfway through a feeding or
with every other feeding
• Use a slow flow nipple to mimic the breast
• Burp after each feeding
• Watch for feeding cues
• Use this time to bond with baby
Medication and Foods
• Avoid caffeine and alcohol
• Eat a variety of foods to introduce the baby to
new flavors
• Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, and Sudafed are all
safe
• Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or lactation
consultant with questions
Common Problems in the First 6 Weeks
• Not nursing enough
• Feeding time is too short
• Overuse of bottles and pacifiers
• Poor latch
• Associating normal newborn behaviors with
breastfeeding problems
Find Support

Trust your Body, Trust your Baby
• It can take up to six weeks to master
breastfeeding
• Be patient with yourself, trust yourself and your
baby
• Support is key
• Every feeding is a gift of love
• Relax
“A newborn baby has only three demands. They
are warmth in the arms of its mother, food from
her breasts and security in the knowledge of her
presence. Breastfeeding satisfies all three.”
