Part 1: The Basics – Why Breastfeeding Matters

Start by answering why breastfeeding is important:

  • Contains antibodies that protect your baby from infections

  • Perfectly balanced nutrition—adjusts to your baby’s needs

  • Helps mom heal faster postpartum (uterus contracts with oxytocin release)

  • Strengthens the emotional bond between mom and baby

  • Saves money and reduces risk of postpartum depression

High-CPM angle: Use keywords like “breastfeeding benefits for mom and baby,” “immune system boost,” “natural bonding with baby,” and “breastfeeding mental health benefits.”

Part 2: How to Breastfeed – Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Find a comfortable position

  • Cradle hold, cross-cradle, football hold, or side-lying. Every mom is different.

  • Use pillows or a nursing cushion for back and arm support.

Step 2: Proper latch

  • Baby’s mouth should cover both the nipple and a good portion of the areola.

  • Look for the “fish lips” look – lips flared outward.

  • Listen for swallowing sounds – a sign your baby is getting milk.

Step 3: Timing the feeds

  • Feed on demand (usually every 2-3 hours, 8–12 times a day in the first weeks).

  • Don’t watch the clock—watch the baby.

Step 4: Burping & switching sides

  • Gently burp your baby halfway through the feed and after.

  • Switch breasts each feeding or halfway through if baby is still hungry.

  • Try power pumping or lactation cookies (include recipe for more engagement!).

3. Engorgement or clogged ducts

  • Warm compress before feeding, cold compress after.

  • Massage in a warm shower or during feeding.

4. Mastitis (breast infection)
