Breastfeeding basics. Breastfeed as often as possible – at least 10 times in 24 hours. Wake your baby if necessary. Switch sides when your baby’s suck-swallow pattern starts to slow. Continue to switch sides (four times or more) until they reject the breast. Use breast compression (see below).
When babies cannot feed at the breast comfortably and effectively, and breastfeeding support is hard to find or not able to help, mothers may choose to use a breast pump to express all the milk their baby needs, and then feed via a bottle or feeding tube. This is known as exclusive pumping.
Breastmilk is tailor-made for your baby. It boosts your baby’s ability to fight illness and infection - babies who are not breastfed are more likely to get diarrhoea and chest infections. Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for around the first 6 months and alongside solid foods thereafter.
La Leche League (pronounced LA LE CHAY - 'the milk' in Spanish) is an international charitable organisation founded to give information and encouragement, mainly through mother-to-mother support, to all women who want to breastfeed their babies.
La Leche League Oxfordshire provides local breastfeeding support and information for mothers in Oxfordshire, UK, featuring free mother-to-mother support meetings in Oxford, North Oxfordshire and West Oxfordshire.
The Breastfeeding Resource Guide (BRG) aims to provide you with certain basic information and references so that you will be ready to support the normal course of breastfeeding and to help mothers cope with common concerns. It also directs you to relevant resources to support mothers facing specific breastfeeding challenges.
