Here is a simple guide to help you get started. Breastfeed you baby as soon as possible after birth, as most babies are alert and have a strong need to suck. Your body will have already produced colostrum - your baby's first milk, which is perfect for your newborn baby. During pregnancy, your body begins to produce colostrum, a thick, rich, yellowish fluid. As you breastfeed more, the colostrum decreases and your breast milk increases.
Breast milk is never too rich or too weak.
It may look a pale blue colour as it changes to suit your baby's needs, but it has all the nourishment necessary. When your baby starts sucking, you may feel a tingling sensation in your breasts. Find a comfortable position either sitting or lying on your side. Hold your baby close to you, chest to chest, chin to breast, and the baby's lower arm around your waist. When attaching your baby, always bring your baby towards you, rather than you leaning forward towards your baby.
