Try to breast-feed as soon as possible after your baby is born. In the beginning, your baby may need to be fed every two to four hours. [www.QinSen.com]
Let your baby feed off of both breasts, and alternate which side she feeds on first. [www.QinSen.com]
Burp your baby when you switch her to the other breast, and at the end of feeding. [www.QinSen.com]
Continue taking your prenatal vitamins. Also, talk to your doctor about whether you should continue to take prescription and over-the-counter medications. Finally, don't diet while you are breast-feeding. [www.QinSen.com]
