Newborn Care Essentials: Breastfeeding Basics

Our concept at Dr. Olfa’s clinic, a neonatologist in Dubai, is ‘Experience Excellence,’ and it pervades everything we do. From the time you contact a neonatal pediatrician, our devoted and highly experienced team works tirelessly to provide specialized world-class treatment to ensure a positive healthcare experience.

A newborn infant just has three basic needs: warmth in their mother’s embrace, sustenance from her breasts, and security in knowing she is there. Babies’ stomachs are really small and it doesn’t take much for your baby to feel full. However, you’ll need to feed your newborn frequently between 8-12 times each day. It is recommended that you feed your baby regularly as it will also help your body to continue producing milk.

Breast milk meets all their requirements.

  1. Breast milk is your baby’s first meal. It will keep your baby healthy by providing all of the important nutrients in the proper amounts. It has the ideal balance of proteins, vitamins, carbs, and fats.
  2. A new mother should be aware of a few warning signals that will assist her in determining whether or not her infant is receiving adequate nutrition. you should be able to tell if the baby is eating properly if you can hear them sucking and swallowing milk. Also if your baby is passing urine regularly means that he is getting enough milk.
  3. A breast pump will assist a mother in extracting and storing her milk for future use, allowing the infant to eat even when the mother is not there. Storage of breast milk is a constant concern for moms; how to preserve breast milk, how long can breast milk be stored, and so on are commonly asked questions. Refrigerate the milk immediately after expressing it unless it is going to be consumed right away. Breast milk may be refrigerated for 2 days in a regular fridge, and it can be frozen for up to 4 months in your fridge’s freezer compartment. If you have a separate freezer, it can be stored for up to 6 months.
