On one of my summer getaways, I found myself in Mystras in the Peloponnese.
There, under the hot sun and among the half-grassy stones, I observed the sunburned tourists, coming and going with a book in hand.
They knew exactly what they were looking at!
Those who had read it saw the imposing buildings and perhaps imagined the people of the time, strolling along the well-kept streets.
Those who were unprepared simply saw... ruins without any value.
Breastfeeding is also a journey.
If you prepare properly, you will enjoy it and feel all its benefits!
How is this going to be done;
Make sure that you are properly informed before the time comes to hold your baby.
It is important to start breastfeeding as early as circumstances allow.
Remember, if you breastfeed immediately after giving birth, the hormones responsible for lactation are activated.
If for some reason, breastfeeding is delayed, your milk will come in on the third day.
– Before you start breastfeeding, sit comfortably.
It is important that you feel comfortable with the whole process.
– Make sure you position your baby correctly at the breast.
His belly should be opposite yours and his mouth opposite your nipple.
You already know that you manage your baby with one hand and your breast with the other.
Why don't you try rehearsing with a doll?
Breastfeed as often as she needs to, but... in this relationship, you are the "leader"!
What does this mean;
You should wake him up if he sleeps longer than he should.
You should monitor the diapers around the clock: urine, quantity and quality.
You should… You should… You should…
You should learn!
