Newborn baby nutrition is a very important issue and parents need to be very careful. A newborn baby is fed with breast milk for the first six months. In other words, there is no need to give any different food before six months. The more breast milk the baby consumes, the more milk produced by the mother will increase proportionally. Newborn babies are usually breastfed every two hours. Newborn babies need to be breastfed at least ten times a day. Breast milk has a lot of effect on newborn babies. So much so that these effects are not limited to nutrition alone. Newborn babies feel safe by being fed with breast milk.

What Should Be Considered During Breastfeeding?

If you are breastfeeding in a position that you are not comfortable with, you should change your position immediately because your baby will not be comfortable at all in a position that you are not comfortable with. If the baby is in the wrong position, it starts to become restless and can stress you out. For such reasons, the most attention should be paid to the position during breastfeeding. Besides position, newborn babies will need to be fed frequently per day as they do not need additional food for the first six months. In other words, you can increase your milk and facilitate milk production by listening to your baby's requests and reactions. Finally, before you start breastfeeding your baby, it is useful to wash your hands thoroughly with soapy water. It should not be forgotten that pre-breast-feeding hygiene is paramount.

How Should Working Mothers Breastfeed?

If you are a working mother, breastfeeding will be twice as difficult for you, but there is no need to worry. Thanks to baby bottles, you don't have to look for a suitable position to breastfeed your baby. Also, if you want to breastfeed your baby when you are not at home, feeding bottles come into play. Thanks to the bottles, you can ask your spouse or a relative to breastfeed your baby. As long as you keep the bottles clean and pay attention to hygiene, there will be no problems. Of course, you should pay more attention to the issue of cleaning, since baby bottles are of a quick dirty structure, and you should change the bottle at certain intervals.
