Mothers today are well informed and know the importance of breastfeeding. Initially, it may cost you some effort to breastfeed the baby. The baby is rather weak and often there is too much milk, which makes the breasts heavy. The nurse normally helps you to learn to feed the baby.
In the first months feed the baby whenever it demands to be fed. Don’t think of any regimen. The stomach of a young baby is small and tubular and becomes empty soon.
It is said initially the baby should be fed in the sitting position because there is a danger of falling asleep and the tiny baby getting choked, if you feed it lying down. After a few weeks when the baby has put on weight, you may choose whichever position is comfortable. Breastfeeding can be continued beyond the first year when it is accompanied by supplementary food. Doctors will advice you about the schedule.
