Convenient and private breastfeeding is so easy while wearing your baby sling. The cradle carry is the position used most often for a baby of any age.

To nurse, position your baby on her side so that she is facing the breast without turning her head.

Don't assume your baby is ready to wean or is personally rejecting you. A "nursing strike" can be common, and is typically sudden in onset. Although there is no specific known cause, there are several possibilities. Nursing strikes may be related to changes in mom's smell -- if your periods are returning, or if you have started using a different perfume, deodorant or soap.

If your baby is nursing well (nursing 8-12 times per day, latching on well, sucking well, with evidence of swallowing), and having normal wet diapers and bowel movements, there is really no reason to switch to formula. However, if you do not think your baby is getting enough to eat, and you wish to give your baby formula, it is best to offer the breast first, then give the bottle. It is very important that you pump your breast afterwards to maintain your milk supply.

Breastfeeding will be initiated in Labour & Delivery shortly after your baby is born. The nurse will offer instruction and guidance, encouraging good position and proper latch.

Solid foods can be given when the baby is about 6 months old, but a baby can drink breastmilk for as long as mother and baby wish.

No. You do not need to wean when your baby's teeth come in. Both of my children got their first tooth at 3 months of age but were breastfed more than a year. Biting can occur at the end of feeding, when the baby is no longer hungry, but playful. Simply remove the baby from the breast with a firm "no". If the baby is still hungry, offer the breast again. If the biting continues, remove the baby from the breast for several minutes.

Answer: You need to tighten the shoulder straps more so that your baby is being held closer to your body.
