To wake or not to wake: a breastfeeding consultant dispels myths about feeding
The breastfeeding consultant of the KDM Center, Marina Gabdrakhmanova, addressed the most common questions of young parents about feeding. The main rule is to focus on the child's needs and remember your own comfort. A baby in the first month of life should be awakened if they sleep longer than three hours during the day and four hours at night. This helps establish lactation and weight gain. There is no need to supplement with water — breast milk is 88% water. According to Gabdrakhmanova, feeding should be on demand, at least eight times a day, and definitely at night — from 3 to 8 AM, milk production is especially active. The duration of feeding is individual; do not limit the child. The main sign of proper feeding is the absence of pain. You can use pillows for comfort, monitor the baby's head position to ensure the nose is clear, and the head is not tilted back.
If it hurts, it is important to check the latch. After feeding, lay the baby on their back in a separate crib. Photo: KDM Center
