Today, we are delighted to share some useful tips from the International Board certified lactation consultant that helped our guest contributor mum Jannet Tang to establish a healthy milk supply. This post is short and sweet, but we are sure it will be your little breastfeeding Bible:
1. Breast feed 1 breast for 30 mins and other breast straight away for 30mins.
2. Do not breastfeed for more than 1 hour in 1 go or baby would be burning too much energy.
3. If possible, breast pump the alternative breast at the same time. Eg. Breast feed on left breast and pump right breast.
4. 30 minutes later, breastfeed on right breast and pump left breast.
5. Alternate breast for each feed. For example, 4 hours later for next feed, breastfeed with right breast first.
6. Repeat this process until milk production has established. It usually takes a month. Do the same process if you want to increase milk production.
7. For an enhanced support in nutrition needs and baby’s ongoing healthy development, Healthy Mum & Bub recommend to take Elevit capsule daily.
Hope the above is useful and can make your nursing experience easier. Happy breastfeeding!👶😌
