It is of course very true that breastfeeding during the first hour of birth is very essential and important for the overall health of the baby. At the same time, giving a little time for the baby to adjust to the environment and to know the mother is also imperative. If the baby wants to hang out along the breast, allow it to do so as it tends to give comfort making the baby feel warm, cozy and safe just like it was in the womb!
· While breastfeeding, try to put the entire nipple including the areola into the baby’s mouth so that the suckling process is done well and you don’t tend to get any sores. Feed your baby every now and then until a few days so that the overall health is improved and get the immunity to face the world bravely!
