Some babies breastfeed very little for the first few days, but after that they will like breast milk just like any other baby.
The more a baby sucks, the more milk a mother will have because when the breasts run out of milk, the milk production system will be signaled to continue to create new milk.
The mother will breastfeed more effectively when she is rested and in a good mood.
Sometimes, the mother can have chest pain, which is due to poor posture for the baby or her baby is suffering from a tongue-tie defect. Any pain during breastfeeding can be resolved when the mother comes to the specialist. So, daddy should encourage you to come see an expert if you are unfortunately having trouble breastfeeding your baby.
