Having a baby can be one of the most exciting and nerve racking times in a families life. Along with the joy and happy feelings can come stress and the insecurity of not knowing the best answer to many questions of parents, be it a first time or last time pregnancy. One question surrounding an infants welcome can be how and what to feed them. Some questions women have for breast feeding include, how to get breast feeding off to the best start and does it hurt?

Key Takeaways:

• When your baby is born, put him or her skin-to-skin on your chest right after birth.
• Does breast-feeding hurt? It shouldn’t hurt. It should feel like a strong tug or pull.
• It’s best to eat a wide variety of foods so that baby will learn to like a variety of flavors in your milk.

“It’s ideal to put baby to breast within the first hour of life.”
