Q & A

What is the importance of breastfeeding for newborns?

Breastfeeding is crucial because breast milk provides essential nutrients that are easy for a newborn to digest. It is the most important source of nutrition for newborns in their early stages of life.

What is the first step to prepare for breastfeeding according to the video?

The first step is to wash your hands using a six-step technique to ensure proper hygiene before beginning the breastfeeding process.

What is the purpose of pressing on the nipple before breastfeeding?

Pressing on the nipple helps to release milk and acts as a disinfectant, ensuring the nipple stays moist and clean for breastfeeding.

How should the mother be positioned for breastfeeding?

The mother should be positioned comfortably, with her feet supported and her body relaxed. If there’s no sofa, she can sit anywhere as long as she is comfortable, and there is support for her back.

Why is it important to position the baby correctly during breastfeeding?

Proper positioning ensures that the baby can latch properly and feed effectively, with the baby's body close to the mother's body and the head aligned with the breast.

How should the mother support the breast during breastfeeding?

The mother should support the breast with her index finger underneath and her thumb on top, ensuring the breast is held in a way that helps the baby latch onto the nipple properly.

What should be checked to ensure that the baby is latching properly?

The baby's mouth should be wide open, with more of the lower part of the breast visible in the mouth than the upper part. The baby's lips should be folded outward, and the chin should be in contact with the mother's breast.

What should the mother do if the baby’s nose is covered during breastfeeding?

If the baby’s nose is covered, the mother should support the breast to avoid blocking the baby’s airflow. This ensures the baby can breathe easily while feeding.

What steps should be taken after breastfeeding is finished?

After breastfeeding, the mother should gently detach the baby by pressing on the baby's mouth or chin. Then, the baby should be burped to prevent spitting up.

What are the key nutritional guidelines for breastfeeding mothers?

Breastfeeding mothers should consume more vegetables and fruits to meet their increased nutritional needs, as they are feeding both themselves and their baby.

How long should exclusive breastfeeding be practiced?

Exclusive breastfeeding should be practiced for the first six months, as recommended by health experts, without introducing any additional food or drink other than breast milk, except for necessary medications.

Why is regular breastfeeding important for maintaining milk supply?

Breast milk production works on an on-demand basis, meaning the more frequently a mother breastfeeds, the more milk she will produce. Reduced breastfeeding can result in lower milk supply.
