What is the correct position and method of breastfeeding

The correct position for breastfeeding is the side-lying position, the cradle position, etc. The method is to clean the chest and then put the nipple into the baby’s mouth by supporting the breast with the hand. Breastfeeding has an irreplaceable role in the growth and development of babies. Usually, the correct positions for breastfeeding are side-lying, cradle position, cuddle cross position, etc. According to the environment of breastfeeding, you need to adopt the appropriate position, but the main purpose is to breastfeeding in the comfortable position of the mother and baby. The correct method of breastfeeding is to wash the breasts and nipples with warm water first. The mother’s hand should be in a C shape to support the breast, with the thumb of one hand on the top of the breast and the other four fingers on the bottom of the breast, and the nipple and most of the areola should be put into the baby’s mouth, to avoid the breast from blocking the baby’s nostrils. After each breastfeeding, you need to pick up the baby and pat the back to expel the air in the stomach to prevent spitting up, and you need to alternate sucking on both breasts during each breastfeeding. To summarize, it is recommended to adopt the correct breastfeeding under the guidance of the doctor, and remember to observe the baby’s expression during breastfeeding.
