How to breastfeed
-
Breastfeeding is not only the most natural form of baby food, but also the healthiest. It often takes some getting used to, but if milk production is well underway, you can take care of the growth of your baby in an intimate way.
-
Breast milk is milk that you make yourself in your breasts. Breastmilk is full of healthy and protective substances for your child: proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and all kinds of antibodies.
Good fabrics
-
Especially the first days after birth there are a lot of these substances in breast milk. After that, that amount will decrease, but that is not bad, because your baby will then drink more. On balance, your baby will receive just as many good materials.

Vitamin D and K
-
Your child will have enough breastfeeding for the first months. He can grow and develop fully thanks to the nutrition you give him. The only thing that is recommended is to give some extra vitamin D and vitamin K. Those vitamins are not enough in breast milk. Give your child 10 micrograms of vitamin D and 25 micrograms of vitamin K every day and you are assured that your child is fully supplied with all healthy substances. You only give extra vitamin K for the first 3 months, but you must give extra vitamin D until the sixth year of life. You can buy both vitamins in drop form at the pharmacy or drugstore.
Supplementary feed
-
Only after 6 months does your child need extra nutrition, in the form of fine vegetables or fruit. Some children are there early and by smacking and bites show that they want more. In such a case, you can give your child some crushed (pureed) fruit or vegetables from 4 months. So from 4 months it is allowed, and from 6 months it is really necessary. You can also continue breastfeeding for as long as you and your child want.
How do you do it
-
Breastfeeding is not difficult. For some mothers it is not possible due to a physical cause alone. But this is rare. And for the rest everyone can learn the 'technique'. It is very important to start right after birth. Below are some useful tips: Immediately after your child is born, it must have physical (skin-to-skin) contact with you. This releases hormones from you, which are important to start milk production. You should try to breastfeed for the first time within an hour of your child being born. This also helps to get milk production going. Breastfeed your child if he wants to (feed on request). You can therefore breastfeed your child as often and for as long as it wants in a day. That means you should also feed your child at night. By doing this, you stimulate milk production. In the first weeks it is quite possible that you breastfeed your child about 8 times every 24 hours, even more may be necessary. After a few weeks, a clear pattern will automatically develop in breastfeeding. Good posture is important when latching your child to the chest. A good posture is that your child lies with head and body in one line and with his stomach against you. Your child must of course have good access to the breast. The nipple should be aimed at your child's upper lip and the tongue below the areola. Your child's head is slightly raised so that it has room to search. You can stimulate your child's lips with your nipple until your child's mouth opens wide. Then you bring your child to your chest, so that it can latch on. And don't forget: practice makes perfect.
