How to initiate breastfeeding after your baby is born

Having your baby lying on your chest in skin to skin contact helps calm you both after the stresses of labour. This close contact between you and your baby produces oxytocin, which helps you bond with and fall in love your baby. Furthermore, having your baby on your chest in this way stimulates your baby’s natural and very strong feeding instincts and your she will spend time rooting and familiarizing herself with your breasts. The more time she spends licking and nuzzling the better as it will help her work out how best to attach and feed. This is a very important time for you both and it is best if baby is not rushed to feed before she is ready.
