Today I'm going to talk about basics of breastfeeding, to help you hopefully avoid some of the common
problems that new mothers experience in early breast feeding.
Some of the items that I'll be using to help demonstrate are the glider chair like this
one, which really helps to get a proper positioning, which is very important to breast feeding.
It's the key fundamental of breast feeding, is that mom is positioned properly. The other
item that I'll be using is a nursing stool. And a nursing stool is very important because
it also helps with breast feeding positioning for breast feeding, by keeping your knees
at a 90 degree angle. You don't want to be sitting in your chair and having your feet
and toes up like this and not be able to touch the floor properly. Some additional things
that I'll be using that are very important to breast feeding success as well, are breast
the nursing pillow such as this one, because it helps put the baby at proper height, right
at the breast and gives your arms support as well. Another thing that I recommend when
you're breast feeding is to have a nice swaddle blanket in case the baby's hands are flying
all over the place. You can just quickly swaddle the baby to keep their hands out of the way
of your breast. And lastly, the other thing I'll be showing you is how to nurse on a sofa.
So, let's get started.
