Take Action!
Nurse your baby whenever he or she wants to eat.
Try to breastfeed within an hour after your baby’s birth. Newborn babies need to nurse often (every 2 hours). Watch your baby for signs of hunger, such as mouthing or being more alert.
Put your nipple as far back in the baby’s mouth as you can.
Nurse with the nipple and the brown area around the nipple (called the areola) in the baby’s mouth. This will make you more comfortable.
Try out these different breastfeeding positions.
