The benefits of breastfeeding
Breastfeeding is not an easy thing. Although it seems - much easier. Nature has already put everything. Take it and feed it. If you want But the tests begin immediately: will there be milk or not? Will there be much or little? How often to feed? Is there enough milk? How to go to the shower or the bathroom, and suddenly you want to eat? Is it fat? I need water? And still stagnation, lactostasis, decantation, correct coupling.

The key to a successful breastfeeding is a quiet mother. Easier said than done. Keep calm Stay calm But, if the child cries, combs her hair once, her husband is upset and the figure is far from ideal.
For breastfeeding to take shape, Mom should like this. And fix it. She must understand why she and the child. She must sincerely wish for it to happen. And prepare yourself for the difficulties that may arise.
For example, breastfeeding at first unites you and the child a lot: you can not get away from it in the first six months, more than half an hour. And if you really want a month after delivery to go for three hours to the SPA, breastfeeding only interferes. And to be more free and more mobile, women choose, sometimes unconsciously, artificially. To be able to sleep longer (the mixture is usually satisfactory and the baby sleeps more time).
The situations are different. If the mother is sick, the spasms, the nerves, the psyche, experience depression, her milk can become a "poison" for the baby. And there are two options: do something with yourself (which is harder) or stop feeding (which is easier). Each one chooses by itself.
Some advices
- Rest more and drink enough liquid.
It's quite simple: the more power you have, the more milk. Even nothing to add and no reason. Remember that feeding a baby is you work.
At the time of feeding, remove the phone, the book, the computer, to be at this time with the baby completely.

And the temptation is great. He only eats, he is silent. You can only check email, write a message to someone. The baby is relaxed is the moment, to caress him and sing a song. Instead of spoiling your vision by reading something on the phone. By the way, then the baby is less distracted from the breast and the process generates more pleasure.
This is about consciousness. And about the fact that time goes by quickly, and children grow up very fast. You will never be able to return these moments of sacred and intimate closeness. So maybe you should enjoy them now.Allow yourself to sleep during the day. And generally try to sleep more.

If the baby fell asleep, you should take a nap at least half an hour; Do not run immediately to some place and create something. Boil the soups, wash the floors. Because the less we sleep, the less we rest, less milk. Therefore, always try to rest during the day. Yes, and go to bed early. Things can wait.
Now there are many breastfeeding counselors: they will help you if the feeding causes you pain (this can be an incorrect grip), they will reassure you during a crisis and they will give you many recommendations. The main thing is to not be afraid to contact them. Breastfeeding is natural, but we have already sunk so far from our nature that we can not remember it. We need the help of those who already know it.
Ultimately, you decide. Whether to feed or not to feed. How much time to feed, how to feed. Until months or years. There are many opportunities now. Perhaps these are some of the possibilities of choice; but maybe it's worth listening to the original order of things, nature, which created all these mechanisms.

Yes. True. Very true. Common sense, that should be. The benefits of breastfeeding is as fundamental as eating from gardens and filtering cancer water.
