How to apply a newborn baby to the chest

Proper attachment - the golden rule of further success


One of the most important points that determine the entire subsequent process of breastfeeding process can be confidently called the first attachment of the baby. The failure here is fraught with a negative reaction of both mom and the baby, which can easily refuse from the chest. Most modern maternity homes boast medical care in the question of first feeding. But, unfortunately, there are also rates. Therefore, every woman is important to know the basic principles of proper applying crumbs to the chest. How to apply to the chest:

  • Choose a convenient posture, considering that feeding can last for quite a long time and you should not get tired. You can feed the child in different positions and, as a rule, every woman chooses for himself that it is like that. But the baby during the whole process must necessarily be a tummy to his mother, and his face must be turned to the nipple. In addition, the head of the child should not be rigidly fixed, so that he had the opportunity to regulate the position of the nipple in the mouth and could tell mom about the end of feeding (Material with photo and video);
  • The nose of the newborn should be close enough to the chest, but not sinking in it, for if the kid will reach the nipple, then the likelihood of its superficial capture is great. Especially careful should be women with full breasts;
  • Remember, the nipple kid must take on its own. No need to invest it in his mouth. Otherwise, all the same incorrect capture will be ensured and the following problems behind this too. If the baby grabbed only the tip of the nipple, then mild pressed on his chin can always be released.

Popular questions

Whether the schedule is needed

Schedule of feedings - another stone stumbling blocks of absolutely all young mothers. From the older generation you can hear that feeding the baby is needed strictly by the hour. Modern pediatricians recognized such a technique ineffective and in some voice say that it follows to feed the newborn on demand! All because its production depends on the number of eaten milk crumbling milk. Therefore, the more baby will suck the chest, the mother will have more successful lactation.

How much feed

But if we talk about the duration of feeding, then there are no clear boundaries here. It all depends on the individual abilities and desires of the kid. But we can say that a healthy newborn must actively suck the chest at least 30 minutes. The maximum time is determined by the children themselves for themselves.

  • The amount of time in the chest each kid is determined individually. Some children suck the chest more actively, quickly fought and let go of the chest. Other children suck slowly, often they can be seen sleeping in the chest. But if you try to remove your nipples, they start sucking again. To wake up such a baby, you can slightly remove the nipple, or touch it for the cheek;
  • The duration of the entire period of GW is determined by the desire of Mom to feed the child with breasts, as well as from the general living conditions of the family (nutrition, the need to go to work and so on);
  • Usually at the beginning of the lactation, the infant gives the chest up to 10 times / day. Gradually, when the kid will grow up, the power mode is reduced - up to 7-8 times per day.

Nailed or not

The full kid is a contented kid. This is an undeniable truth. If the baby was a mellow, he or just let his chest, or just fell asleep. And it can be understood that the child is eaten in general can be several signs:

  • the kid himself lets his chest after eating;
  • evenly adds weight and growth;
  • shows activity and sleep well;

One or two portions

For one feeding should be given only one chest. In the subsequent - another and so alternate them. Such tactics will allow milk glands to establish the correct supply of milk to the child. The sucking of one breast provides a kid and "front" liquid milk, which performs the drinking functions, and the "rear" thick, which contains most of the nutrients. However, if the child is not fought, then you can offer him a second breast.

But it also happens that the production of milk at mom is not so significant as it is necessary to the baby. Especially this problem can fill the fever along with sharp jumps of child growth (2 months old). Then, in one feeding, my mother is advisable to give a crumble both breasts so that the milk to him, nevertheless enough. But think that if the chest is soft - it means there is no milk in it or a little - incorrectly. If the woman in labor sees that the child is eaten with one chest, but just in case he offers him and the second, then this approach can negatively affect the baby. After all, the baby is easy to reconcile.

How often feed

How often should the baby be fed if it is still possible to overgrown? Everything comes down here, again, to the requirement of the baby. After all, if he is well eaten, what to get drunk faster than after 2-3 hours it just can't! But if the baby is asking for breasts more often, then its demand in the milk should be satisfied. After all, he could simply won't rise last time. That is why feeding on demand is the red thread of the entire process of breastfeeding today.

Suddenly recalculate

Many moms are frightened to lower the baby to irreversible consequences. The main thing is not to panic. Although it is easy to reconcile the child, but he will definitely break through. Therefore, health in no way will suffer.

Whether it will be time to digest

If the kid eats too often, will the milk have time to digest? There are no reason for concern here at all. Mother's milk is so ideally balanced for the baby that it is not required to spend special forces on his digestion to a tiny organism. Milk practically gets into the intestines, where it is digested very quickly.

Crying and feeding

In practice, young mom is every case. Including the baby crying. And the question "How to give a baby breasts if he cries great" arises by itself. In this case, you need to try to somehow calm the baby: to press to yourself, shake on the handles, affectionately. If the baby cries from the fact that he cannot take the chest, then you can squeeze the milk to him in the mouth or touch the nipple to the lips or cheek. The chest is the best sedative for any crumbs. Therefore, to make it take it, my mother does not have to go.

How to take away correctly

Behind the set of references to how it is correct and often apply a baby for feeding, it is important to remember the recommendations on how to properly take the chest in the infant. In order for the process to do not cause unpleasant feelings from Mom and did not provoke further problems (the crack of the nipples, for example), the chest should be removed only after the baby let her go. To do this, you can gently press the chin (as already mentioned above), and you can insert a little finger in the corner of the mouth of the baby and turn it on the floor of the turn. This simple manipulation will make the child open the mouth. Then the chest can be calmly removed.

Stagnation of milk - what to do

The fact that the process of breastfeeding is not always smooth, you probably know, all women. It happens that the baby does not have time to eat everything and the milk is stood. The chest at the same time becomes simply "stone". If you do not pay attention to it, then you can earn a subsequent operation. How to react correctly if the problem still found? If lumps appeared in the chest or in addition to this, the temperature also rose, then you need to act urgently. At this point, it will help: massage under the warm shower, or the bustker's bomb offer (he, by the way, is the best pecker in such situations) and the compresses from the cabbage sheet with honey. Massage is important to do carefully, without the risk of breast damage. And the compresses need to be imposed after each kid food. If these manipulations do not bring an obvious effect, and the temperature does not fall over for several days, then tedious to the doctor.

The main thing is common sense

Very often young mothers, nevertheless, so literally perceive absolutely all the information, which you can hear what they do typical errors. For example, such:

  • Wash chest before each feeding. In fact, the morning and evening toilet for this part of the body is more than enough. Otherwise, you can wash off a protective lubricant that protects breasts from reproduction of bacteria.
  • Sticking your chest with hands during feeding. Such behavior can provoke a comprehensive milk in places of contact with your mother's hand, which needs to be categorically avoided.
  • Dopping kid baby tea or water. And drink, and the food for the baby is Mamino Milk!
  • The rejection of breastfeeding and the transition to artificial in the occurrence of cracks on the nipples or cold. For painless feeding, it is worth using special silicone lining for nipples. And in order not to be afraid to catch the baby just to wear a mask.

This is not a complete list of possible errors of young mothers. And every question that worries the woman in labor is better to immediately ask a doctor.

Video instruction: Rules of applying to the chest:

Having completed the feeding process (his ending means that the baby began to release the nipple often, twist the head, or fell asleep at all), you need to see the residues of milk. It is recommended to grind into a small clean capacity, clean dry hands. Today there are many different, but you should carefully apply them, as they can injure a gentle nipple.

  • Applying to the chest should be started from birth (in the first hours after childbirth), it is stimulated by the production of milk;
  • If the child is hungry, he himself searches the chest, opens the mouth and smacks. But if he does not do this, Mom herself can attach a nipple to the lips of the baby, then he will immediately take the nipple;
  • It is necessary that the baby captures the nipple and the near-block part of the chest;
  • Giving the breast to the child, you need to pay attention to the fact that cheeks and nose should fit tightly to the chest;
  • It is better not to apply a child into one feeding to two breasts, because in this case the child will only get the front milk, not so useful as the rear. The child must suck one breast completely to the end.

In order to properly launch the mechanism of milk generation, it is necessary to attach a newborn to the chest as early as possible. To date, the time interval from the moment of birth to the first meal of the newborn baby is about two hours. The first applying to the chest is very important for subsequent feedings, since it is at this moment that the kid's habits and the correct seizure of the nipple are laid, providing comfortable sucking.

What features should be considered

  1. Mother's nutrition: The first days need to include products rich in fiber; Do not abuse sugar. It is forbidden to take alcoholic beverages and smoking. It is better to exclude or limit allergenic products in the menu, such as nuts, eggs, citrus and so on (We read about what).
  2. During feeding, it is impossible to be distracted on the TV and other extraneous stimuli, so the connection between the mother and the infant is disturbed; Periodically (up to 3 times) you need to give the baby to jump off, and after feeding to hold it vertically in order to avoid colic.
  3. It is impossible to breastfeed in case of serious diseases of the mother (open form of tuberculosis, renal failure, AIDS, various infectious diseases) or child (incompatibility in the rhesus factor, prematurity with the absence of sucking reflex, CNS disease, breathing).

    We watch the video on the topic of proper breastfeeding:

Undoubtedly, every mother wants her baby to be healthy. Therefore, most women wish to feed their kids with their own milk. True, it turns out this from the first time not all. It is very important to properly apply kid to the chest. After all, it depends not only by the health of the crumbs, but also the well-being of Mom. Therefore, today we will learn everything about such an important action, as proper applying with breastfeeding, poses (photos are shown in the article) used in this process. And I also define the basic rules that the woman should not neglect, if she wants her boy or girl to grow healthy and strong.

Signs of faithful applying


Signs of incorrect applying

The inconvenient position of the baby may interfere with saturation, and in this case, the long-term adoption by the child's child may be impossible. Understand correctly applying with breastfeeding or not, it is possible by defined features. So, the signs of an incorrect application may be the following:

  1. Kroch tilts his head down or turns her sob.
  2. The baby opens the mouth of the Noshiroko, while the sponge does not turn it out, and the brushes are drawn, although they must be inflated.
  3. Kroch does not carry out sucking, but chewing movements.
  4. In the mouth of the child is only a nipple, while Areola is completely visible.
  5. When feeding, the cocan of the tongue is heard, as well as the combination.
  6. The kid jerks a lot after applying because of the large amount of dusting air.
  7. Krochu is unhoyage, he cries, stops taking the chest and again requires food.
  8. Mom feels painful sensations during feeding or experienced discomfort.

If some one or even several situations described above are observed, then this means that the woman incorrectly applies to the baby's chest. Then it is necessary to complete feeding and rightly arrange a baby. To do this, you can insert the pillows of the fingers into the corner of the mouth of the crumbs and gently pressed on the lower jaw. In general, proper applying with breastfeeding is a procedure that needs to be learned gradually. Therefore, the main thing is to think about this time at this time - this is your mental state. Even if the first time it does not work, you should not despair, because in the second or even for the tenth time everything will certainly be different. In the extreme case, you can contact the pediatrician who will help mom in this seemingly difficult lesson.

How to give the chest?

Since the baby in the first days after his birth does not understand anything, then the mother should help him eat. To do this, a woman must perform the following: before each feeding to spend the nipple on the mouth of the baby strictly from top to bottom. Never move to them from side to side! In this way, my mother will teach a child only to tweer his head, but the wide open mouth will not achieve.

Moves from top to bottom should be repeated as many times as needed. And how is it all wide? Mom must catch the moment when the baby yaws or, for example, crying. At this time, a woman should pay attention to how widespread kroch can open the mouth, and to seek it. Also, Mom can catch the moment when the baby yawns, and put the chest quickly in his mouth. You need to do it lightning, otherwise you can be late.

Possible poses

Proper applying when feeding a child clearly intersects with a choice of mom's position. At the same time, both the woman and the baby should not feel inconvenience. Therefore, the choice of posture is a responsible moment. Many factors affect it: the weight of the crumbs, his manner of sucking, the well-being of mom. Depending on these circumstances, such postures may be acceptable:

  1. "Cradle". The original position of the woman is sitting, she holds a baby on his hands, pressing his belly to his own. At the same time, the crumb must capture the nipple without turning the head.
  2. "Crossflower". Mother determines the child on his hand, palm holds his backstage. Another hand woman must support the chest.
  3. "From hand." The crouch lies on the pillow, while his torso is at the mother behind his back. In this position, the child comes milk from the lower and upper chest, where lactostasis most often appears.
  4. "Breast". Mom in the middle position determines the baby on itself. Such a pose is convenient when the milk is rebupping when it is very flowing, preventing the crumb to suck.
  5. "Standing". Such a pose can be used if the mother wants to point the child. At the same time, a woman should keep a baby in his arms in the "Cradle" position.
  6. "Owning". The initial position of the mother is lying on the side. A woman turns the baby face to himself and feeds, leaning on the elbow.

If during feeding and mom, and her baby do not feel discomfort, they are relaxed, and the chest is perfectly emptied, it means that the position was chosen correctly. Applying the poses of which were described above, carried out correctly. Women can experiment with positions to understand, in what position they better give the baby milk.

Pose for feeding, if mom does not fall out

Often mommies complain that the crumb does not give them to relax. After all, even at night you have to feed babies. However, you can learn to apply the child to the chest and at this time continue to rest. To do this, it is enough to feed his lying. Below, consider how to attach the baby correctly to and to him and my mother was good.

  1. Woman should lie comfortable. Do not stand on the elbow. Only mom's head can be on the pillow. The initial position is strictly on the side, nor forward, you can not deviate.
  2. The child should also lie on the side of the mother under the arm. Shoulder, hip and ear must be on the same line. The tummy must be pressed against his mother, the head is a little trap, then the mouth will easily open.
  3. It is necessary to conveniently submit the chest. If it is left milk iron, then the baby should be maintained for the blades with her left hand, and the chest is given to the right.
  4. Throughout the feeding, the child should be supported so that it does not roll on his back. You can define a roller under its back.

These are four points providing proper applying when it is clear to comply with these conditions, then the mother will be able to relax, and the baby will be full.

Basic Baby Fingering Rules


Early applying to the chest

Gynecological obstetricists advise women in labor feed the baby or at least try it no later than an hour after childbirth. This is very important because in this case the first contact of the mother and baby will be carried out. The duration of the first feeding should be no less than half an hour.

Early proper applied with breastfeeding will push the formation of milk, and also contribute to the rapid disorder of the placenta and will be excellent prevention of postpartum bleeding. In addition, the kid has a faster for the intestinal microflora, as well as immunity.

Faithful attachment

This item was already considered in detail, however, it is worth mentioning what is well the right application. If the baby truly captures the mother's breast, does not cause a woman or discomfort, drinks milk pleading, then it will relocate the fever from mastitis, cracks and other troubles.

Feeding on demand

This is another important rule that is worth paying attention to. Feeding is not by the clock, and at the request of the baby is one of the principles of such a basis, as proper applied with breastfeeding. Komarovsky E.O. - An experienced pediatrician who has his own program about kids on television, argues that the crude from the first months of life should be given breasts for any occasion. It is necessary to provide him with access to Molok when he wants. It is very important, because so the kid not only hits, but it will also contribute to his psycho-emotional comfort. Already after 4-5 months, the child will produce its own regime. Komarovsky E.O. Notes that it is desirable to feed the baby at least to six months, and better - up to the year.

Duration of applying

All moms should remember that it is not worth interrupted that it is not worth a breast, he will stop sucking himself. Different kids stay in breast different time. And this is normal. Therefore, it is not necessary to worry if the neighbor's neighbor is in the chest for 40 minutes, and your sufficient and 15. Why shouldn't you take your breasts? It turns out that at the beginning of feeding, the baby receives earlier milk rich in water, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins. And now after 5-7 minutes of sucking, it comes to late milk, in which proteins and fats are present. That is why it is so important not to interrupt this process.

Early feeding

Proper applying with breastfeeding cannot be done without this item. Experts strongly recommend that all mothers give one chest baby to one feeding. If the woman is in a hurry and wants to quickly give and second, then the baby will not receive late milk rich in fats. As a result, he may have problems with a chair. To prevent this, mom should know that it can offer the same milk gland for a child for 1-2 hours. And only then change it to another. Feeding from both breasts is allowed only if the baby is already 5 months old, that is, when it is no longer enough milk from one breast and is required.

Now you know everything about such an important action, as proper applying with breastfeeding (photo of this process and suitable poses are reduced in the review). We found out that it is an indispensable product that babies should eat. After all, it contains all the necessary vitamins and trace elements that are so important for the health of the kids.

Every newborn baby primarily needs maternal milk: so that the child from the first days of life is healthy and well developed, the mother should be in the first feeding to call him confidence and show how it is right, and otherwise it may lead to the fact that Baby will refuse to breastfeeding. To avoid negative, you need to know how to attach a child to the chest correctly.


will help the baby get optimal and full nutrition; In addition, it will help the mother to avoid cracks on the nipples, stagnation or shortage of milk, mastitis. Also, this skill will give mom and crumbling harmony and calm, will affect the formation of a strong connection.

How to feed the infant


Feed newborns - Whole science, as it may seem like young mommies, but in fact everything is not so difficult: it is only necessary to start right, and then everything will go literally at the machine level. So, for the beginning, my mother needs to choose a convenient pose for breastfeeding, because the process can be long.

The position of a woman can be anyone, as it is convenient (we will tell you a little later about this), but the kid's position is defined. Applying the baby to the chest, make sure that its head is not rigidly fixed, because it must independently control the position of the nipple in the mouth, as well as submit a signal when feeding should end. The nose of the crumbs should be close to the chest, but not sinking in it so that the baby's mouth really captivated the nipple, and his nose was breathing. For this, with breastfeeding, it is necessary to follow particularly women with full breasts.

Breastfeeding - Komarovsky (video):

The baby's nipple itself must capture independently, do not invest it in his mouth. Otherwise, there will be only wrong grip, repeated from time to times.
The newborn baby attached to the chest should capture occonditional Arolu (dark "a circle" Nipple), more - its lower part. His mouth should be widely open enough (with barely open lips, the nipple is not fully captured), the nipple in the mouth of the baby should be resting in the palate: it strongly stimulates the sucking reflex.

In the process of sucking, the tongue of the crumbs should be on the gum, as if making wave-like movements, pressed on the chest and so "extract" milk. This provision will not bring the mother painful sensations.

The cheeks of the baby in the process of breastfeeding should be a little pound, but not drawn. The chin of the crumb should be restarted into the mother's breast: if there is no contact, then the nipples are not completely captured. At the same time, the chin should not be chopped, otherwise the nipple will be very deep in the mouth, and this will break the process of sucking. In addition, the mother should not put pressure on or lifting the chest when feeding - this will not improve the process, but on the contrary it will spoil it.

Secure knowledge. Correctly attach a child to the chest - this means that in the process, the baby captures the nipple itself wide open mouth, and AREOLU, and his sponges turn outward. The nose of the baby is tight pressed to the mother's chest, but does not be drowning in it; With sucking of breast milk there are no extraneous sounds other than uniform sips. It is important that the mother itself does not experience unpleasant sensations in the process.

How mom is convenient to feed the newborn

There are several ways to attach a child to the chest, mom can use them if they are suitable and do not cause discomfort, it can change them from time to time.

The first way: belly to the stomach. The most common and convenient posture, when mom and child lie on the side opposite each other, the baby is deployed toward the mother, and his mouth is on the line with a nipple. The head of the crumbs can not be fixed, he must smooth freely, and mom at this moment should support the baby for the buttock or back.


How to properly apply a baby to the chest - convenient schemes

The second way: In the sitting position. When mom sits and feeds a breast child, he will also be deployed to her. One of the hands of the mother should serve as a support for the crumbs (it is better to put a pillow under it), and the second is to hold the baby behind the back and buttocks. It is better to try to arrange the baby's head, which is on the same line with the body (not rotated and not trapped) in the elbow bending.

Third way: The position of the armpit. Mom must take the situation sitting, and next to put the pillow, to lay the crumb so that his body is hidden at hand (armpit). With this arrangement, the mother is conveniently monitored sucking, and the child is captured by the nipple, besides, mom can look at the child, and her hands rest.

Fifth way: Breastfeeding standing. This method is suitable if you wear. You can also choose a seven or half-row position, but you can not apply a baby to the chest, lying on the back: it is inconvenient to suck, and due to the pressed tummy, the eaten breast milk can occur.

Errors in feeding newborn, which should be avoided

You should not hold your chest with your hands, as already mentioned earlier, or pressed on it, believing that so milk would be better to flow a child. This is not true: the milk moves along the channels, regardless of the position of the breast, and it is subordinate to the sucking movements of the kid.

No need to wash your breasts in front of each feeding: first, there are no bacteria on it, and secondly, soap will destroy the protective lubricant, which protects against bacteria. Mom is enough to take a shower in the morning and in the evening.


It is not worth a child with water after breastfeeding: milk for baby - and drink, and food, and therefore it is not necessary to give it an extra liquid. In addition. It can get used to the nipple on the bottle and give up the chest.

No need to deny a child in breast milk if cracks or abrasions appeared on the chest or if the mother picked up the cold. Treat nipples best in breaks between feeding (for example, special linings), and when ORVI is enough to wear a medical mask.

It is not necessary to grind the milk left after feeding. It is necessary only if the mother with the baby should be parted for a while, and therefore the child must provide breast milk. In other cases, this is superfluous injury and stimulation of milk production. In addition, stirring affects the shape of the chest.


The duration of feeding can be different: on average, from 5 to 20 minutes. It depends on the nature of the child, on how much he is hungry and how fast test, from lactation of mother and other factors. If the baby makes a couple of sips and falls asleep, brake him for the cheek so that he continues to eat.

In one feeding, it is possible to give a child both breasts alternately, because they are filled with breast milk. However, it is better to change them with each new feeding. There are no clear definitions, how often to give a baby chest: Previously, doctors recommended feeding children every 2.5-3 hours, now they adhere to the opinions that it should be done on demand (the child is crying, looking for a chest head, opens his mouth when mom Touching his leaning). In the first days of life, the child does not often ask for breasts, but then - more often, and to this you have to be ready.

Proper baby applying to chest (video):

It is difficult to understand that the child was difficult, because the children rarely focus on one meal, and therefore require breasts very often. At the same time, the well-satisfied kid himself lets his chest. It is impossible forcibly to remove the nipple from his mouth, because in this case he can bite. And do not try to reassure the child, applying it to the chest every time he cries: Swing and tauchet, otherwise it will get used or in a cut of crying will bite the nipple.

Pediatricians say that after the completion of the process, the mother should feel ease of chest. If the milk is still a lot, as it was before feeding, it means that the baby did not eate the number of food.

With the advent of the baby, young mammies arise a lot of questions, and the main one: "How to apply a child to the chest?". Over time, each mother will select the optimal pose for feeding, which will be comfortable and to her, and some difficulties may arise at the initial stage.

So that the feeding process delivered the pleasure of not only the baby, but also mom, it is important to comply with the basic rules:

  • first, you need to choose a convenient posture. Mom can sit or lie, for convenience, it is permissible to use pillows and soft rollers, which will perfectly support the tired hand or provide comfort for the back. The baby must be tightly pressed to his mother with all the body, it is not recommended to lay a child on the back, the optimal position is lying on the side;
  • secondly, the position of the kid's body should be even, correctly when the head, her shoulders and hips are on the same line. The neck must be even, otherwise the infants will not be able to swallow milk;
  • thirdly, it is impossible to use force during applying to the chest. The baby does not need to attract to the pacifier, your task is only to show the right direction and degenerate the shoulders and the back of the child, in no case presses on the head;
  • fourthly, there should be a minimal amount of clothing between the nursing mom and the baby, long-term touch skin to the skin contributes to the creation of a close relationship between them and the development of a large amount of milk.

Performing such simple tips, soon you will learn to properly apply the child to the chest, and after a little bit of the baby and without your help can correct the nipple.



Basic pions for breastfeeding

The process of breastfeeding takes a lot of time, so the posture for it, first of all, must be comfortable. There is no single rule, in what position it follows, since each mother lifelines different positions. Some manage to feed the kids in the most extreme and uncomfortable positions at first glance, but most mothers choose for feeding one or two of the main provisions:

  • feeding sitting, or "cradle" - Mom sitting in a chair or on a sofa, laying under the back and elbows of the pillow. The baby is in her arms, his body is turned with the tummy to the maternal belly, and the head is at the nipple level. One hand my mother constantly supports the shoulders and the back of the child, providing him with a convenient position, and the other - helps the baby properly capture the nipple;
  • feeding "from hand" is a favorable posture for moms who gave birth through cesarean section, since in this position the baby does not prescribe on the stomach. The child is placed on the side of the seated mom on a high pillow, so the child is in close proximity to the chest, and the mother can control his position with the hand;
  • feeding lying is the perfect choice for night time, since mommy, and infants can relax and sleep. Mom lies on his side, the kid next to her - the belly to the stomach. The head of a newborn in this position should be slightly raised, the torso in the smooth position, the neck is straight. If the mother lies on the right side, then applying the baby follows to the right chest and vice versa. The breast, located below, is much closer to the mouth of the baby, so he does not have to bend the neck and stretch to the nipple, besides, milk from it flows faster, which also facilitates food production;
  • feeding on the back - such a pose of applying to the chest allows mom to relax well. In this case, the kid lies with the tummy on the belly of Mom, who sticks him to not fall. In this position, the child has to apply some efforts to mining milk, so this posture is not recommended for weak and painful children;
  • sling feeding is a universal position for different situations. Such a device allows you to apply baby to the chest sitting, standing or even on the go. With the help of a sling, you can feed the child on the street and visiting, without interrupting the feeding process, it will be possible to even perform a simple homework, for example, wash the dishes or folded underwear.

Feed the child in one position or experimenting with options poses is the case of every mom, the main thing is that the baby is comfortable and comfortable during breastfeeding. Proper applying to the chest from the very birth of the baby will save the mass of your time and nerves, besides it will prevent the milk classes.



Before feeding the baby, make sure that it moves, washed and satisfied. To feed the crying newborn is much more complicated, so you should not expect until the baby gets hungry, try to offer your breast as much as possible, and soon the problems with applying will disappear.

In order to create a child a comfortable position, you need to apply it as close as possible to the chest, while the nipple should be directed to the novel of the baby (if you send the nipple right in the mouth, the baby can greatly press the jaw, which will cause painful sensations at mom, and will not allow Many milk).

Non-standard nipples must be signed independently, slightly rejusting the AREOLU on the sides, so the child will easier to take the chest. The main rule - you need to apply a child to the chest, and not vice versa. First of all, the mother should take a comfortable position, and after offering the baby chest. The feeding process may be slightly delayed, and an uncomfortable posture causes mom a lot of unpleasant sensations afterwards.

If the child is hungry, he himself turns the head in search of warm milk, but there are situations when the baby does not want to eat, and the feeding time has already come. In this case, you can show him where the power source is located, having spent the bottom of the arolam on the lips. A newborn baby has developed an instinct instantly pull into the mouth all that touches the lips, so do not offer a nipple right away, because excessive pressure on it can lead to painful sensations and even injured gentle skin.

The kid's head should be kept by hand, putting it under the child's shoulders to create a comfortable and comfortable position. When you get closer to the baby to the chest, in most cases he opens the mouth, your task at this time is to help him grab the nipple, for example, to smooth out the Arega with the help of a thumb, promoting it deep into the mouth. After the proper seizure of the nipple, the upper sponge closes, and the baby begins to suck the milk. If you did everything right, there will be no painful sensations, but if the mother feels discomfort, the process is better to repeat again, because due to improper applying the child will not be able to get the amount of nutrition. You can free breasts from the mouth of the kid, calmly breaking it with a lean on your finger.

If you put the baby to the chest correctly, his cheeks will be poured, and the chin is tightly in the chest. The nose must be rotated a little to the side, otherwise the baby will be difficult to breathe. When the nose tightly rests in the chest, the newborn's head should be slightly lifted, so it will be much more convenient for him.

After completion of the feeding process, you should feel ease in your chest, if the chest is also full of milk, it is quite possible that the baby could not suck the amount of fluid. Try to experiment with different pies for feeding and gradually rub the chest, because even a small stagnation of milk causes very painful sensations.

Proper attachment of the child to the chest is a guarantee of successful feeding. Incorrect attachment leads to discomfort in the chest, the appearance of cracks on the nipples, the passage of milk and even to the development of mastitis. In addition, with improper breastfeeding, the baby may not receive the necessary amount of milk, which will lead to the braking of the development and growth of infants.

Technique applying

To organize proper applying, the nose is a nipple nipple. Skip need to rinse the top lip of the newborn. So the baby will wake up the reflex sucking, and the mouth will open wide. When feeding, it is important that the mouth of the baby is wide open!

When the baby opens his mouth, put the chest as deeply as possible. Follow the capture and nipple, and the site around it. Such a plot is called Areola. The child's body must be as close as possible to the body of the mother, and the head is to be able to move freely. To do this, just hold the head slightly.

Pay attention to how the capture occurs and how the feeding process itself goes:

  • Breasts captures the nipple and the area of \u200b\u200bthe AREOLA with a radius of 2-2.5 cm;
  • Baby lips, especially lower, turned outward. The angle between lips is approximately 130 degrees;
  • The cheeks are not drawn and together with the nose are tightly adjacent to the chest. At the same time, the nose should not be sinking in the chest;
  • With breastfeeding, the baby will turn the tummy to her mother, to the nipple;
  • The child freely regulates the position of the nipple in the mouth;
  • The kid himself should take the nipple. Nax the nipple in the mouth will provide incorrect grip. If the baby captured only the tip of the nose. The baby's mouth is wide open;
  • Breasts sucks deep small rhythmic movements. At the same time, the smoothing of milk is heard;
  • If the breast is too tight and pillow, you can send a little milk.

It is important that when feeding, Mom did not have discomfort. It sometimes causes chest pain, cracks and abrasions on nipples, which later leads to the masp.

If the baby missed the chest, stop applying. Pick up the nipple is easy to put the little finger in the chest. However, you can adjust the capture and without removing the chest. To do this, turn the sponge after the baby took the nipple. Easily get the chest through the corner of the baby's mouth.

The more tightly applying the baby, the better the feeding will pass. If you experience pain with breastfeeding, slide the baby below.

It often happens that the initial capture is going on correctly. However, then the baby begins to slide and captures only the nipple. If this happens, lower the chin chin and pull the lower lip slightly. It is important that the head of the baby remains a bit crowned.
