A. A newborn should be put to the breast at least every 2 to 3 hours and nurse. If the baby demands earlier than 2-3 hours then do Breastfeed. Let the baby decided the nursing duration and frequency. If the baby is sleepy • Change his/her diaper and burp him/her before offering the other breast. Most newborns hate this, and it may make him/her mad enough to wake up and nurse. Try switching breasts as soon as his/her sucking slows down, even if it has only been a few minutes. Then go back to the other breast and let him/her fall asleep on that side if s/he wants to. • Wipe his/her face with a cool, damp cloth. • Try nursing in the football hold rather than the cradle hold. Babies cuddled in the cradle hold tend to fall asleep more readily. • Support your breast while nursing so the weight of it isn’t on the baby’s chin. • Express milk onto his/her lips or dribble milk into his/her mouth with a dropper or syringe to keep him/her swallowing while feeding. .
