Starting to breastfeed within the first hour after birth is best for both baby and mom. That first feeding brings milk that's yellowish and thin—it's called colostrum and it's packed with immune protection. The amount is tiny, which is perfect because baby's stomach is really small those first days.
During this first feed, holding baby in the right position matters—baby needs to open wide and latch onto most of the dark circle around your nipple. Feeding often (8-12 times a day, whenever baby's awake) signals your body to make more milk. In the first 24 hours, baby should have at least one wet diaper—that's a sign baby's getting enough.
If baby has trouble latching, your nipples are sore, or you're worried baby's not getting enough (losing too much weight—more than 7% from birth weight), ask a lactation consultant or pediatrician for help.
