The mother helps the baby to hold the nipple while breastfeeding, which can be achieved by correcting the breastfeeding posture.
When breastfeeding the mother should have a standardized breastfeeding posture, the mother and the baby should be close, the baby’s head should be kept in a straight line with the body, the baby’s nose is opposite to the mother’s nipple, so that the baby can suckle most of the areola as much as possible. At the same time, the mother’s hand should be placed on the thumb and four fingers above and below the breast, to support the entire breast feeding.
When breastfeeding, mom can support her back and arms with the help of pillows or cushions so that she can maintain the breastfeeding position more easily, preventing it from being difficult for her to hold on to it for a long time.
Be careful not to block the baby’s nose when breastfeeding so that breathing is not affected. If mom feels that the posture is not suitable, she can readjust it and try to find a standardized and comfortable posture.
