00:00And today, I'm sharing some essential breastfeeding tips that every new mom should know.

00:05Proper positioning of your baby is key to making breastfeeding easier and more comfortable for both of you.

00:11I'll be showing you how to do it right, ensuring that your baby latches on effectively and you avoid any discomfort like nipple soreness or breast engorgement.

00:20First, make sure your baby is turned towards you with their entire body facing you.

00:26Their head and body should be in a straight line and you should hold them close to you.

00:31Your baby's face should be level with your breast with their nose right in front of your nipple.

00:36When they latch on, their mouth should be wide open, covering most of the areola.

00:42You'll notice that their lower lip is turned outward and their chin is gently touching your breast.

00:48This position allows them to take in not just the nipple, but a good portion of the breast tissue, which is where the milk collects.

00:55Make sure your baby finishes one breast before offering the other.

01:00This way, they get the richer, fattier milk that comes towards the end of a feeding.

01:05If you switch too soon, they might miss out on these important nutrients, which can slow their growth and cause digestive discomfort.

01:13Avoid using bottles or pacifiers, as these can interfere with your baby's latch and might make them less interested in breastfeeding.

01:22If you need to give your baby extra food or medicine, use a small cup or spoon instead.

01:28Remember, there's no need to wash your breasts before each feeding.

01:33Doing so can remove the natural oils that protect your nipples and make them more susceptible to cracking.

01:51Make sure the pain will not decrease, as your baby will be latching more deeply and effectively.

01:57This will help prevent further issues and keep your milk supply strong.

02:02Breastfeeding is a beautiful and natural process, and with these tips, I hope you've learned a couple things about breastfeeding.
