#Podcast: The first days of breastfeeding.

In this podcast Carole Hervé, lactation consultant, gives you all the keys to live your breastfeeding at best. The first few days - essential to the establishment of breastfeeding - can sometimes be difficult, punctuated by doubts and questions from young mothers about breastfeeding. And rightly so.

• How can you prepare yourself physically and psychologically to be able to breastfeed? Is it necessary to plan an accompaniment at the maternity hospital?
• Is it possible to breastfeed after a cesarean section?
• What are the main complications/physical pains that I may encounter?
• How do I know if my baby is suckling effectively?

Often, when we are pregnant, we prepare for childbirth (by taking courses or even by simply doing research), but we are not necessarily prepared for breastfeeding. However, lactation consultants and professionals are there to help you. Breastfeeding is not always natural, nor is it easy from the start, so don't hesitate to ask for help if you don't know how to go about it.

By the way, whether you bottle-feed or breast-feed, it is your choice and it is your choice that will be the best for you and your baby. The most important thing is to be well accompanied, by those around you and/or by professionals, and to be in line with your decisions.

If you want to know more about this subject or if you want to be accompanied, you can contact Carole Hervé and/or consult her book "Mon allaitement sur mesure".
