00:00Hi everyone!

00:04Welcome to my channel.

00:07My name is Suzie, and I'm so happy you're here.

00:10Today, I'll be sharing tips and advice on how to properly breastfeed your baby.

00:16Breastfeeding is a very important stage for your little one, and I'll go over all the

00:19key points to make this process comfortable and enjoyable for both you and your baby.

00:29Now, let's get started.

00:32The first thing to remember when breastfeeding is the proper position.

00:37Your baby's head, neck, and body should be aligned.

00:41Make sure the baby is lying on their side, with their tummy close to yours.

00:46This will help them latch onto the breast correctly and feed comfortably.

00:50You can try different positions, such as the classic cradle hold or the football hold.

00:56Choose the one that feels best for you and your baby.

00:59The second thing to keep in mind is the correct latch.

01:03It's important that your baby doesn't just latch onto the nipple, but also takes in part

01:07of the areola around it.

01:10If your baby is latched on properly, you shouldn't feel any pain.

01:14With a proper latch, your baby will make slow, deep sucking movements, and their bottom lip

01:19will be turned outward.

01:21If you feel pain or discomfort, gently break the suction by inserting a clean finger between

01:26your baby's mouth and your breast and try again.

01:30Another key point is the frequency of feedings.

01:34In the first few weeks, babies may want to feed up to 8 to 12 times a day.

01:39Don't worry if it seems like your baby is feeding too often.

01:43This is normal and helps establish a good milk supply.

01:47The main thing is to watch for hunger cues from your baby, such as head turning or sucking

01:52on their hands.

01:53Also, don't forget to take care of your own comfort.

01:57Make sure you're in a comfortable position, maybe use a pillow to support your back or

02:02arms.

02:04Breastfeeding should be a cozy and intimate moment for both you and your baby.

02:08So, those are the main points.

02:11I hope these tips help you establish a good breastfeeding routine.

02:16Don't be afraid to try different approaches and positions, as every mom and baby is unique.

02:21With time, you'll find the perfect rhythm that works for you.
