Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
The less milk the mother has, the more frequently the baby needs to suck. Since the baby's sucking force is strong, it can effectively massage the areola using the baby's mouth. The relationship between the baby and breast milk begins right after birth. When the baby is held close to the mother's chest, it naturally starts to search for the nipple. New mothers are advised not to let the baby suck the nipple just because there is no milk at first. Instead, they should encourage the baby to frequently touch the nipple. Gradually, the baby will learn to suck on its own.
