The moment you hold your new born baby in the delivery room, you feel relaxed and contented. You realize that you are now a mother and have a really tiny life to nurture, protect and raise. The feeling of breastfeeding your new born child is also divine and fills you up with affection and love, though breastfeeding would also have its own challenges for the new mother. However, it must be noted here that breast feeding is the best for you as well as your baby. At the very beginning, your body would produce special milk known as colostrum which is important for your baby as it protects him/her from all sorts of infection.

Have you seen babies sucking? Yes, they suck actively, then rest and again start sucking actively. Then they release when they think they are full.

It is important to understand that your new-born baby needs 10 to 12 feedings every 24 hours.
