Did you know:
How can you tell tell if your baby is getting enough to eat?
WATCH their fist/hands. When a baby is hungry, their hands are balled up
in a fist. As they get full, their fists relax. If a baby detaches and
falls asleep, hands relaxed, they are done. If one hand is in a fist,
place them skin to skin as they will wake up within half an hour and will
want to nurse from the other side.
If it hurts when your baby is nursing, and/or popping on and off, getting mad, OR falling asleep but not really nursing it MAYBE a shallow latch. Babies NEED a mouthful, and sometimes you have to hold your breast so they get a good latch. Wait for them to figure it out. It can sometimes take them a few tries to get going. A good job for dads is to help guide your baby and compress the breast so that they can get their mouth around it.
What is the best way to wake a baby to eat?
Place your baby skin to skin. One way is to have your baby in a diaper
and to place between the breasts inside of your clothing. Your baby should
wake within a half hour and start wanting to eat.
The first few days are busy times for mothers and their babies. Just rest when you can and nurse your baby when they want to nurse. This will bring your milk in sooner and will insure you make what your baby needs. Cluster nursing is normal and will happen from time to time as your baby grows, too. Just keep swimming. It does get easier.
