This album has been created to help you to reduce tension and enhance your level of relaxation during breastfeeding whilst you bond with your precious baby.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being a new mother is a beautiful and exciting experience, however it can also be a challenging time. Babies who are breastfed tend to be much happier, well-adjusted and enjoy better health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research shows that relaxation can increase milk production by up to 63%. Stress hormones, anxiety and fatigue are also known to inhibit milk supply; and this is why regular relaxation can be highly beneficial when feeding your baby.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is recommended that you listen to the first track, \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/hypnobirthingaustralia.com.au\/product\/breastfeeding-bonding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Affirmations for Breastfeeding &amp; Bonding<\/a>\u2019, on a regular basis. You can play it in the background as you go about your daily routine. This will help to program your subconscious with positive thoughts and expectations. Affirmations can be a powerful tool to help you change your mood, state of mind, and manifest any changes you desire in your life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second track, <a href=\"https:\/\/hypnobirthingaustralia.com.au\/product\/breastfeeding-bonding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2018Breastfeeding &amp; Bonding with Baby Relaxation\u2019<\/a>, is designed to assist you to relax and have a positive mindset for feeding. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is recommended that you not listen to this relaxation on occasions when you are particularly tired. It is important that you stay awake throughout your feed (for safety).<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you feel your attention drifting away, just gently refocus your mind back to your beautiful baby and the messages given in the audio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enjoy some special time to release and let go, as you bond with your baby and breastfeed with ease.

Babies breastfeed they don\u2019t nipple feed, so if the feed hurts you can bet the baby has sucked the nipple to the hard palate, thereby squashing the nipple and causing friction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><b>Demand feeding<\/b><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your baby will feed a minimum of 7 to 8 times and up to 12 times in 24 hours whilst breastfeeding is being established this is very normal and will settle with time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><b>Using teats, dummies, and complementary feeds<\/b><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your young baby is learning to breastfeed and can become confused if offered a teat or dummy before they have learnt to breastfeed well. Offering fluids other than break milk will decrease the time your baby breastfeeds, which will reduce the your breast milk supply.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><b>Exclusive breastfeeding to six months<\/b><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When babies are exclusively breastfed, they need no other food or drink until at least six months of age. You can be confident that your baby is receiving enough breast milk when you see six or more heavy wet nappies, at least one bowel action a day in the early weeks and your baby usually settles after most feeds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><b>Breastfeeding Support<\/b><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While breastfeeding is natural, it is a learnt skill that takes time, patience, and practice. Whilst you have read books about it your baby hasn\u2019t and sometimes your baby may take a little while to get the hang of it, especially if your baby is early.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After your baby is born your baby will start to seek your breast for a breastfeed. Midwives can help you recognise the signs that your baby is ready to feed such as licking, sucking, putting her\/his hand to mouth, and making soft noises.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During your pregnancy your midwife can offer you breastfeeding classes. This class or session may be with other mothers or as an individual session if available. We also have a special album available: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hypnobirthingaustralia.com.au\/product\/breastfeeding-bonding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Breastfeeding &amp; Bonding with Baby\u2019<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
