At first it is necessary to learn a series of moves that eventually will become easier. It is important to ensure that the baby is well on his chest and neck has not bent or rotated.
• The baby's head should not be at elbow height, but about half of the forearm.
• The head and the baby's body must be aligned. So it is said that we should put the baby "against gut gut.
• It is better that the mother bring the baby to your body that do not reverse, perhaps because she is uncomfortable and tense.
• When the baby is hungry, the rooting reflex makes your head turn opened his mouth to one side if something touches your cheek or lip. The baby will find the nipple moving his head from side to side. The mother may help touching his cheek with his hand to guide you. You can also tap her lower lip or cheek with the nipple, which will stimulate reflection that makes for the nipple with his mouth. Thus, the baby opens his mouth, when that should be used to bring it to the chest.
• The more open your mouth baby, the better, so is insurance that will cover much of the areola and suck better.
• Some babies stop stick his tongue over his lower lip and around her nipple while breastfeeding. Signals that are well caught at the chest.
Remember that your mouth should cover the entire areola, including the nipple. The mother can take the chest down with the palm of the hand. It is optional thumb rest on top. If done, it gently. Not recommended to put your hand "scissor".
If your baby is well attached to the breast, is less likely to develop cracks.
The shape of the nose of babies does not make it necessary to remove the chest to breathe (only in some cases).
