Breastfeeding

When I was expecting my first baby, my husband and I didn't feel comfortbable about becoming parents. We had no friends or relatives living near us who had babies. We were confused by what we read, what we were told, and what we felt... After six years and two breastfed babies, we now feel better about being parents and we also know what to listen to --our hearts.
這段書中描寫的心聲想來和大多數如小草紮根北美大陸的第一代移民一樣，至少於我心有戚戚焉。
--baby's first feeding
the sooner, the better
key points:
position (yourself, baby) and latch-on: baby's mouth should be open really wide, like a yawn, as he latches on.
Move baby onto the breast quickly and firmly.
Let the baby finish at one breast and the offer the other breast. If the baby is latched on and positioned well, there is no reason to limit a feeding. Once baby is nursing actively, let him nurse from the first breast until he comes off on the second breast.
--Engorgement=When the milk "comes in"
剛生完漲奶的時候，很多媽媽以為自己沒奶。其實是一種誤區。
--Keep your nipples clean
air dry
--How many times?
every two or three hours
--Is the milk enough?
check diapers. two or three wet diapers for the first few days. Six wet diapers after six days.
