✅1:50 When should you start breastfeeding?
Ideally, within the first hour after birth, also known as the "golden hour."
✅5:14 What to do if your baby isn’t latching?
Latching problems can be due to various reasons, but a proper latch is key to successful feeding.
✅7:10 How long should a baby fed during one session?
On average, 15-30 minutes is ideal, but it can vary based on the baby’s needs.
✅8:14 How do you know if your baby is full?
Look for signs like turning away from the breast or falling asleep after feeding.
✅8:54 Is burping necessary after every feed?
Yes, burping helps release trapped air and prevents discomfort for the baby.
✅9:36 How much gap should there be between feeds?
Ideally, 2-3 hours between feeds, but it can vary based on the baby’s hunger.
✅10:37 Why do some babies cry all night despite feeding?
This could be due to cluster feeding, where babies feed frequently to increase milk supply.
✅13:50 How can you prevent painful breastfeeding or cracked nipples?
Proper latching is key to avoiding these issues.
✅28:00 What is exclusive breastfeeding, and how long should it continue?
Exclusive breastfeeding means only giving breast milk for the first 6 months.
✅33:58 Can you continue breastfeeding if you’re sick?
Yes, it's safe to breastfeed, and your milk provides antibodies that can protect your baby.
