How to breastfeed your baby correctly
After leaving the hospital, the baby should continue to be breastfed continuously until the colostrum is gone.

The rule of breastfeeding at this stage is to point the breast towards the baby's mouth, so the nipple in the mouth is not too deep. Pay attention to how your baby feels and acts when you put the nipple in his mouth. The most important thing is that the baby is properly attached to the breast joint and is fully attached to the areola.
A fear that begins to appear to mothers during this period is called erection.
Usually, babies tend to breastfeed until they're exhausted and fall asleep. But there are cases where the baby breastfeeds little, the baby is lazy to suck, even the baby doesn't suck, making the mother's breasts tighten.

Absolutely remember, whether the baby breastfed or not, mothers still have to give their breasts to form a reflex. No matter how much or little you suck, all nutrients are absorbed by your baby because breast milk is a great source of nutrition for babies.
