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.
这段书中描写的心声想来和大多数如小草扎根北美大陆的第一代移民一样，至少于我心有戚戚焉。
--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"
刚生完涨奶的时候，很多妈妈以为自己没奶。其实是一种误区。
--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.
