Infant nutrition and breastfeeding
Feeding your newborn should begin within the first few hours after birth. Even feeding in the delivery room is acceptable if the newborn has been evaluated by a physician. Early breastfeeding helps with initiating the flow of breastmilk, beginning the transition to oral feedings and for infant-mother bonding. |
