Reducing Nursing Difficulties
Executive summary about breast milk by Alan Greene MD FAAP
A nursing mother pamper herself, and she get as much sleep as possible. There are several factors that contribute to the success of a nursing experience for mother and baby. One of the most important is that the baby feels satisfied after nursing. This cannot happen if the mother is not making enough milk to fill the baby up. When a mother is stressed or sleep deprived, her body cannot make milk as well as it does when she is relaxed and rested.

Babies tend to be much fussier when their mothers are out of sorts, making the whole experience much more difficult. When a mother becomes more tense, her baby's crying accelerates. Sleep when the baby sleeps. This seemingly selfish move will actually enable her to love and enjoy her baby with fresh patience, enthusiasm, and skill.
