While breastfeeding is one of the most natural things a mom can do for her child, that doesn’t mean it’s easy or even intuitive. Whether you’re figuring out how to hold your infant, what her cries mean, or why he doesn’t seem to latch, nursing can feel completely overwhelming, especially when you’re running on just a few hours of sleep.

To help you out, we’ve compiled our 10 favorite tips to help you on your breastfeeding journey. We will post one tip for the next 10 days!

As always, If you need breastfeeding help or have questions, please call us. We have an IBCLC on staff and other breastfeeding support professionals.

1. The Right Latch Is Key
Habits form fast so it’s VITAL to get the latch right at the beginning. During your recovery time at the hospital or birth center, ask for a lactation consultant or nurse to check your latch whenever you nurse.

La Leche League gives wonderful tips on what a good latch looks like:

Your baby’s nose is nearly touching your breast
His lips are flanged outward in a kissy face
Her mouth is positioned over the ni**le, covering half an inch of the lower breast
You’ll see your baby’s jaw working all the way back to the ear. The temples will wiggle and you may hear a swallowing sound. Stabbing pain is NOT normal.

Gently place your finger in the baby’s mouth to break the suction and try again. You’ll be tempted to just grin and bear it–anything to get a fussy baby eating–but trust me, you’ll both be happier if you insist upon proper form from the beginning.
