What are the recommendations to breastfeeding?

Breastfeeding: Let your comfort be your guide. If want to use one breast at a feeding , thats fine. If you want to use both breasts thats fine too. Babies get what they need in the first ten minutes of feeding. After that is all tender, love and care. Feed your baby every three to six hours. Dont wake him up in the middle of the night. Your rest is more important than that extra feeding.

It's very good: Breastfeeding is typically recommended for a year by the american academy of pediatrics. My advice is to go for as long as you can. I thought i could only make it a few weeks, but each week added up and i made it to 6 months. It can be difficult and there are great lactation specialists who can help, even come to your house if need be. Also great is to join a breastfeeding support group!
