You more flexibility in choosing nursing positions: while sitting or lying on his side was no problem. If the selected seat position, use a comfortable chair. Aim your feet hit the floor. Use a small stool as a booster when your feet slightly hanging.
Cesarean. You are advised to use the football position, which carried the baby's body with one of your hands. Strive to be the location of the baby's head just below the breast to form a straight line with the baby's body. This position is safe because the bottom of your stomach is still sore from the operation can be protected. This position was most comfortable for you and the baby.
Twins. Football position is also appropriate for twins. Here's how: hug each one of the baby's head with both hands, like holding a ball. Place just below the breast. Position baby's feet should be left hanging out. For convenience, the two babies can be placed on a flat area that has a height less than your waist. Thus you can simply support the head just two twin babies. Another way is to put a pillow on your lap.
Attachment of breastfeeding
Besides position, other important thing to consider is the attachment between babies and mothers when breastfeeding. This attachment is important because it determines more or less milk out. If you just stick to your breast, the nipple is sucked just a baby. As a result though it was hard to suck, milk just came out a bit since "warehouse" milk directly beneath the areola. You will feel any pain and usually blisters nipple. The following steps to get a good attachment:
- Find the position as comfortable as possible. If you want to sit, choose a chair that was too high. Aim your feet planted on the floor comfortably. If you want to lie down, watch the height position of the baby. Try to get closer baby to you and not vice verse. This is useful so that you feel comfortable and not tired. If necessary, use a pillow as a baby's body buffer.
- Note the position of the baby. Ideally, the baby's head and body should be straight and parallel. Breast position higher than the baby's head. Do not let the baby's head higher because the baby must be hard to bend his head in such a way. Baby's chin should be attached to your breast, while her breasts against your chest, or stomach attached to your stomach.
- Expect all of the areola into the baby's mouth. If you have a large areola, lower priority in more than the top. Glimpse of the baby's lips looked Dower when attach good, and will swallow the sound of a baby milk. Conversely, the attachment of the wrong breast milk did not come out to make the maximum.
- Point the nipple and areola into the baby's ceiling. Use your thumb and index finger like cutting position. After all of the areola into the baby's mouth, fingers must release. Do not worry baby can not breathe because sucking breast milk. Because if you can not breathe, your baby will automatically release the mouth of your breasts, then search for the mechanism as comfortable as possible.
- The length of time breastfeeding. No need to worry about insufficient milk production needs of the baby, because with God's power capacity of your breasts have been adapted to the needs. It's just a different length of time feeding on each infant, varies between 15-30 minutes. Once full, the baby will automatically release the sucking of your breasts. Let alone a new baby falls asleep while sucking milk from one breast. We have fed back, continue with the other breast. So do not rush or force the baby removed from one breast sucking just so he switched to the other breast.
- If breastfeeding abundant. You are fortunate to have abundant milk flow freely, there is a special position to avoid the baby was choking. Sleep on your back straight, then put the baby on your abdomen in a straight lying position with the head facing the breast (letdown reflex).
