Frequently Asked Questions

 

Whilst breastfeeding is a natural process it can time and practise to get the hang of it.  Make sure you are sitting comfortably and that you are holding your baby close to you; their body should be facing your chest. Position your baby so that their nose is in line with your nipple. Wait for them to open their mouth wide and guide them to your breast with their chin leading. They should have a  large chunk of your breast tissue in their mouth. If you are unsure about your technique, please reach out to me and I can help.
