Cecille's Creativity

I give my baby my milk because he only deserves the best. My milk gives the total nutrients that my baby needs from infancy up to 2 years. And here’s what you, Moms have to do when giving your own milk to your babies.

*You should wash hands before proceeding. Wash nipples with warm water but not with soap.

*For you and your baby’s comfort, you should position comfortably seated on a chair with arm and back support, side-lying with pillow beneath head, arm, above head. The entire body of the infant should turn to mother’s breast.

*In order to stimulate the so-called rooting reflex, stroke baby’s cheek to your nipple.

*In order to lessen tension on nipples, baby’s mouth should cover the entire areola.

*Nurse five minutes on each breast, gradually increase to 10 minutes on each side. It should be that the breast will be emptied at this time because prolonged nursing may cause breast irritation.

*Press breast tissue over baby’s nose during sucking and the baby should release the nipple if unable to breathe.

*You should break baby’s sucking by placing your finger in corner of baby’s mouth to prevent nipple irritation.

*You should let your baby burp after breastfeeding. This is so in order to prevent regurgitation and aspiration.
