Initiate breast-feeding as soon as possible after birth, and then feed the neonate on demand.

Drink a beverage before and during or after breast-feeding to ensure adequate fluid intake and maintain milk production.

Be sure to attend to personal needs and change the neonate’s diaper before breast-feeding begins so that feeding is uninterrupted.

Wash your hands before breast-feeding and find a comfortable position.

Expose one breast and rest the nape of the neonate’s neck in the crook of the arm, supporting his back with the forearm.

Try to relax during breast-feeding because relaxation also promotes milk letdown.
