As
new parents, you do
have reason to be
concerned with issues
like feeding your
little baby. However,
there are often no hard
and fast rules.
Each nursing couple
needs to be looked at
individually.
Difficulties with
positioning and
attachment can cause
many problems. But
after the first few
days, when some moms
experience a bit of
latch-on pain,
breastfeeding should be
comfortable.
To ensure that your
child is getting enough
feed keep the following
in mind as you
breastfeed:
Newborns need to be
nursed at least 10 to
12 times in a 24-hour
period. It is typical
for newborns to have
one four to five hour
period of sleep, during
the day or at night.
