If the baby’s jaw muscles appear slow and strong, with a rhythmic backward stretching movement up to the ear, it means that the baby’s sucking posture is correct; on the contrary, if the two cheeks appear to move inward, it means that the baby’s sucking posture is incorrect and should be corrected immediately. When breastfeeding, how to help the baby suck the nipple When breastfeeding, let the baby suck as much as possible to most of the areola When breastfeeding, the mother and baby should be abdomen to abdomen, the baby’s nose and mother’s nipple opposite, but not too close to prevent the baby’s nose blocked, affecting breathing. The baby’s head should be kept in a straight line with the body. The mother should allow the baby to suck on the nipple and as much of the areola as possible, otherwise the baby may bite and tug on the mother’s nipple, causing pain. The mother can feed her baby lying down, but she should support her back and arms with pillows or cushions, especially her head should be elevated. The baby’s head, back and hips should also be supported by pillows or cushions, but the baby’s head should not be padded too high, but level with the body and with the head slightly sideways to the mother. The mother can also take a sitting position, with her back supported by a cushion or pillow, and her feet supported by a foot pad, with the mother holding the baby with one arm and her breast with the other. If the mother feels that the position is not appropriate, she can gently move the baby away from your chest and readjust to a comfortable position for breastfeeding her baby. The position of the mother’s hand should be such that the thumb and four fingers are placed above and below the breast respectively, holding up the whole breast for feeding. Avoid the “scissor” type of breast support, as this will push the breast tissue backwards and prevent the baby from taking most of the areola into the mouth, which is not conducive to fully squeezing the milk in the sinuses.
