Breastfeeding Awareness Week Dr. Sathiya Rathini shares valuable insights on the best ways and times to feed your baby, emphasizing that mothers should choose the method that is most comfortable for them. Three primary feeding methods are discussed: the Football Method, ideal for mothers recovering from a C-section; the Cradle Method, suitable for older babies with stronger neck muscles; and the Cross-Cradle Method, which offers extra support for newborns. For optimal nourishment, breastfeeding sessions should last between 12 to 20 minutes , depending on your baby’s hunger and feeding efficiency. This helps ensure your baby gets both the foremilk and the richer hindmilk, essential for their growth. Join us in celebrating the bond between mother and baby and empowering mothers with the knowledge for successful breastfeeding. #SIMShospital #bestmultispecialityhospital #BreastfeedingAwarenessWeek #Waysand times #MotherAndBabyBond #HealthyStart
