Prevention and the best way to breastfeeding:

The natural feeding process is done in the following way:

• The child is attached from his head to his feet in the mother’s body and is in a half-seated (slanted)position.
• Hold the nipple  by hand four fingers from the bottom and thumbs from above
• Help the child catch the nipple and halo.
• The duration of the infant ranges from 5 to 20 minutes depending on the child and the time of feeding (morning, evening…) but it is better to let the baby breastfeed until full and leave the breast  on his own.
