About Breastfeeding Support
Breastfeeding support provides new mothers with appropriate guidance to ensure successful lactation.
What is Breastfeeding Support?
Breastfeeding support refers to the professional guidance and assistance that helps mothers breastfeed effectively.
Breastfeeding support includes education on proper latching, techniques for increasing milk supply, addressing discomfort, and ensuring both mother and baby have a positive breastfeeding experience.
Support can be provided by lactation consultants, nurses, or peer groups, all working towards making breastfeeding a smooth experience.
What Issues Can It Address?
Many mothers come across breastfeeding challenges, including difficulty with latching, low milk supply, nipple pain, and engorgement.
Breastfeeding support helps manage these issues with the help of expert guidance, positioning techniques, and strategies to maintain sufficient milk production.
Breastfeeding support also means providing emotional support to new mothers to make them feel confident and comfortable while breastfeeding their children.
Benefits of Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding provides several benefits for both the mother and the child.
For babies, breastfeeding can help improve their overall health and immunity, reduce their risk of getting illnesses, provide essential nutrients needed for growth and development, provide better digestion than formula milk, improve their bonding with their mother, and reduce the risk of developing medical conditions later in life.
For mothers, the benefits include reduced risk of developing ovarian or breast cancer, improved health, faster weight loss, and improved bonding with their children.

Breastfeeding Support FAQs
Why is breastfeeding important?
Breastfeeding is important because it provides the ideal nutrition for babies, supporting their growth and immune system development.
Breast milk contains antibodies that help protect the baby against infections, reducing the risk of illnesses such as ear infections, respiratory diseases, and digestive disorders. Additionally, breastfed babies have a lower risk of obesity, diabetes, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
How long should I breastfeed?
The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of a child’s life. After six months, semi-solid foods can be introduced while continuing breastfeeding for up to two years or more, depending on the mother and baby’s needs.
The duration of breastfeeding is a personal decision, and Maccure Hospital’s lactation consultants can help mothers determine the best approach for their situation.
What are the benefits for mothers?
Breastfeeding benefits mothers in several ways. It helps shrink the mother’s uterus back to its pre-pregnancy size, reducing postpartum bleeding. It also lowers the risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and osteoporosis.
Additionally, breastfeeding releases hormones that promote relaxation and emotional bonding with the baby. It can also help mothers return to their pre-pregnancy weight by burning extra calories. Long-term benefits include a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
What if I have trouble breastfeeding?
Breastfeeding problems are common, but they can be managed with the right support. If you experience issues such as pain, low milk supply, or latching problems, a lactation consultant can help identify the cause and provide appropriate solutions for the same.
Maccure Hospital offers 24/7 breastfeeding support, ensuring that mothers receive immediate help whenever needed.
Is formula feeding an option if breastfeeding isn’t possible?
Yes, formula feeding is a safe and nutritious alternative when breastfeeding isn’t possible. Some mothers may have certain medical conditions, low milk supply, or other problems that prevent them from breastfeeding exclusively.
In such cases, doctors can help choose the right formula and feeding schedule to ensure the baby receives adequate nutrition.
At Maccure Hospital, we provide guidance on both breastfeeding and formula feeding, helping mothers make informed choices based on their situations.
How Do I Choose the Right Breastfeeding Support Service?
Choosing the right breastfeeding support service is important for a smooth nursing experience. Some key factors that can help you make your choice include:
- Qualified Lactation Consultants: Choose a support service equipped with experienced and qualified lactation consultants for the right advice and guidance.
- 24/7 Availability: Breastfeeding challenges can occur at any time, so choose a support service that is available 24/7.
- Personalized Plans: Every mother and baby are different and it is, therefore, important to choose a service that offers customized support.
- Practical Guidance: Practical help with latching, positioning, and feeding techniques is very important.
- Comfortable Environment: Select a support service that offers private, peaceful rooms for feeding that help mothers relax and focus on bonding with the child.
- Breastfeeding Education: Choose a service that provides access to workshops, videos, and reading materials that can help improve breastfeeding education.
- Follow-up Support: Select a service that ensures that you continue breastfeeding confidently and comfortably even after leaving the hospital.
At Maccure Hospital, we provide all these services, ensuring mothers receive the best possible breastfeeding support.
How Long Should Each Breastfeeding Session Last?
The duration of each breastfeeding session varies based on the baby’s age, appetite, and feeding efficiency. Newborns may nurse for approximately 15 to 45 minutes per breastfeeding session, while older babies may finish in 10 to 20 minutes as they become more efficient in nursing.
It is important to allow the baby to feed at his or her own pace rather than focusing on time limits. Signs of a well-fed baby include contentment after feeding, adequate weight gain, and regular wet diapers.
If you are not sure about your baby’s feeding pattern, our experienced lactation consultant at Maccue Hospital can help determine if the baby is getting enough milk.
