Side feed method

What is the correct posture for feeding on your side? The common breastfeeding posture is lying on the side, because novice mothers who just started breastfeeding are generally tired, with sore arms and stiff necks. This is usually caused by incorrect breastfeeding posture. The correct breastfeeding posture is three stickers: chest to chest, abdomen to abdomen, and chin to chest.

The postures of lateral sleeping and breastfeeding are explained in detail, and the appropriate methods of lateral sleeping and breastfeeding are given.

The correct feeding method here must be detailed, otherwise it will have a bad influence on the baby. Feeding posture looks simple, but it contains many problems. Is the correct breastfeeding posture directly related to whether the baby can grow up healthily? Proper methods are not easy to make mothers and babies feel tired.

In addition, the baby's posture should be appropriate:

Let the baby's house face the breast, and the mother and the baby's abdomen are close together, keeping the baby's head and body in a straight line; There is no need to twist the baby's head to one side, lean forward (such as nodding) or desire to lean back too much.

Three methods of breast-feeding in lateral position

1, lateral feeding posture is suitable for feeding at night, lying on your side with pillow under your head.

The baby and mother sleep with their backs to the side, and their bellies are close together. It is convenient to ensure the close contact between the baby and the mother. It's best to put a small pillow behind the baby. You can lie down and feed when you are tired. Lie on your side, let the baby untie the mother's breast, hold the child's body with one hand, and send the nipple to the baby's mouth with the other. This method is suitable for early breastfeeding and also for mothers who have caesarean section. Mother is nursing her newborn, so pay attention to the baby's nose and mouth.

2. Side-holding method

This breast-feeding posture is very relaxed, suitable for mothers who have not experienced caesarean section for a long time, and can avoid the baby being oppressed to his own wound during breast-feeding. The mother goes to the bathroom in bed, then leaves the baby at zero distance, puts the front of the car on her arm, and keeps the baby's mouth and nipple level. Then use the other arm to support the baby's back and hold the baby's head with your hand. This posture can make mother very relaxed and is conducive to postpartum recovery.

Step 3 give a strong hug

This feeding posture is relatively simple and the most used posture. Mom can squat on a desk and chair, or lie on the bed half-way, leaning back against the chair, putting a sponge pad or pillow core on her arm as a fulcrum, and then lifting her feet to bend her kneecap, which will make her feel relaxed and help her relieve the pressure and muscles all over her body. Then hold the baby in your arms, put the baby's head in your arms, hold the baby's ass tightly in your arms, and let the baby's body rest in the mother's arms, and the height should be flush with your breasts.
