Breastfeeding Tips

01

The more often you latch, the more milk your mammary glands will produce. Frequent latches tell your body that your baby needs more milk. The same applies the other way around, the less and less often your little one drinks, the less breast milk we have available.

02

Initially, it's not uncommon for your baby to suckle from each breast for 10 or 20 minutes. However, if you limit it, you could inhibit milk production. In addition, a baby only gets the high-fat hindmilk at the end of a meal, which is very important for healthy growth.

03

At each meal, you should offer both breasts to your baby. This also promotes milk production. If she drank less on the last breast offered than the other, next time offer that breast first.

04

Your milk production is regulated hormonally. When your baby sucks, a hormone is released that activates your milk ejection reflex. The same happens when you cuddle with him. Treat yourself to a lot of mutual closeness and security.

05

Also very important: You need rest! Stress can prevent your body from producing enough milk. Let someone else do the housework, give yourself enough time to relax!
