Ten tips for happy breastfeedingby julie cottle Send Feedback to julie cottle breastfeeding, maternity, natural parentMore Details about breastfeeding, maternity, natural parent here.
2. Make sure you are have some breastfeeding clothes that open at the front well enough to allow you to hold your baby close to your breast. Better still, go topless while you are learning to breastfeed. This has many advantages. It provides close skin to skin contact with your baby which boosts those warm fuzzy feeling hormones which will make lots of milk. 3. Hold your baby close and remove any wraps or excess clothing. 4. Make sure you baby's entire body is turned towards you so that the hips, tummy and chest are against you. 5. Gently touch the baby's mouth with the nipple. Your baby will open its mouth instinctively when you bring the nipple to it. This is the rooting reflex. 6. Some mothers find it helpful to support the breast with the opposite hand as the baby attaches. If you do this make sure that your hand is well away from the areola so as not to get in the way of the baby's mouth. 7. Encourage your baby to open the mouth nice and wide. 8. As you brush your nipple against the mouth, your baby will open wide for the breast. Avoid moving the breast or chasing the open mouth. Hold the breast still and the natural rooting reflex will help your baby to find the nipple. Just wait for the open mouth and bring your baby nice and close. The tongue will come forward and you baby will latch on. Most of the time this ensures a good, natural attachment. If you have trouble or feel unsure, ask for help. 9. Bring the baby to the breast rather than the breast to the baby. 10. You might find it helpful to support your baby behind the shoulders as you bring it to the breast in quick, gentle motion. For most women at some stage or another breastfeeding is extremely challenging. If you are finding it difficult it is important to seek help from a reliable source early and to keep asking for help until you feel confident.

The Problem with Yelling Some Dads use yelling as a primary parenting technique because it controls behavior. However, the child does not learn to take responsibility for actions and think for themselves. Yelling as a preferred parenting strategy leads to overly compliant or rebellious kids. Let the kids know potential consequences for problem behaviors and enforce those with as little talk as possible. Think of the kind of adult that you want to raise and help the kids think for themselves to make good choices.
