10 Tips for Success at Breastfeeding

Check out this Ask-Me Monday video from this week, in which a reader wanted tips for being successful at breastfeeding when she has her second baby.

10 Tips for Success at Breastfeeding:

1. Avoid problems instead of having to fix them later. 
2. Learn the four basic rules for good positioning and latch. (Tummy-to-tummy; ear, shoulder, hip in a straight line; baby to breast, not breast to baby; support back of neck not back of head.)
3. Be determined.
4. Take it one feeding at a time.
5. Remember that frequent feeding is normal and desirable. 
6. Worry only if your baby does not start regaining weight by the third or fourth day of life or starts losing weight again after starting to gain. 
7. Be confident. 
8. Educate yourself.
9. Hide the formula.
10. Get your partner on board!
