2. Feed the baby when he is hungry. If your child is gaining weight - do not worry about the amount of milk! This means that he is full and he has enough milk.
3. If the crumb is very weak and he does not have the strength to eat, it should be helped him - to feed from special systems or a syringe, but always at the chest.
4. Watch your baby's health. In order to find out whether his reluctance is associated with any physiological problems, consult a doctor.
5. Watch and take care of your breasts! Do not allow inflammation! If necessary, decant in no case should not touch and press on the areola, but only near it.
6. Once and for all forget about the norms of weight and growth! Do not forget: your child does not owe anything to anyone. He eats as much as he needs and gains as much weight as is inherent in nature.
7. Do not even think about whether the baby is missing your milk. Give the breast - and the milk will be as much as necessary crumb.
8. Do not listen to friends, grandmothers and other "well-wishers"! Do not even think about buying mixes! Be sure to ask that everyone who lives with you does not bother you. Let them better help with the au pair. Explain that for the baby and his mother the most useful is calmness.
9. If you have problems with breastfeeding, you need to be with the child as much as possible, 24 hours a day. Also it is worth buying an electric breast pump and feeding the crumbs with expressed milk near the chest.
10. If the child does not want to eat, do not give him a pacifier to calm him. The sucking reflex should work to teach the baby to get food for himself!
11. Remember, it depends on you how long your breastfeeding will last! Do not be lazy! Going to the mixture is the easiest way out of the situation, but no mixture will replace the mother's milk!
As you can see, the organization of long and successful breastfeeding is not a problem! The main thing is to sincerely want it, then you will succeed!
