| 00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Laid-back hold for breastfeeding. |
| 00:06 | In this tutorial we will learn, choosing the correct breastfeeding hold for a mother and her baby. |
| 00:15 | Mother’s preparation before breastfeeding and How to do the laid-back hold. |
| 00:22 | Let us begin. |
| 00:24 | Across the world, mothers breastfeed their babies using various types of holds. |
| 00:31 | As discussed in an earlier tutorial- The best breastfeeding hold for a mother and her baby is the one in which- |
| 00:39 | Both mother and baby are comfortable for the entire duration of breastfeeding |
| 00:47 | The baby is able to attach deeply to the mother’s breast
And get sufficient milk. |
| 00:55 | Let us learn about one of the holds called Laid-back hold. |
| 01:00 | Laid-back hold is recommended when - Deep attachment of the baby to the breast is difficult using cross cradle or cradle hold |
| 01:09 | Or if the mother has big breasts |
| 01:12 | Or if the mother has back pain |
| 01:15 | Or when the mother is tired. |
| 01:18 | Before feeding her baby, the mother must wash her hands with soap and water.
And dry her hands properly. |
| 01:27 | Then she should drink a glass of boiled and cooled water. |
| 01:32 | Lactating mothers produce 750 to 850 mililitres of milk per day on an average.
Therefore, they need to increase their daily water intake. |
| 01:44 | Next, mother should uncover the breast from which she wants to feed the baby. |
| 01:50 | She should ensure not to put pressure of her bra or blouse on the breast. |
| 01:55 | Then, the mother should lie down comfortably on the floor or on a bed. |
| 02:01 | Her head, neck and upper back should be well supported by pillows. |
| 02:07 | Now that the mother is ready, let us learn how to hold the baby correctly. |
| 02:13 | Mother should-hold her baby’s body with the hand on the side of the breast that she will feed from. |
| 02:20 | She should hold the lower part of her baby's head- with the thumb and fingers of her other hand. |
| 02:27 | The mother in this picture, will be feeding her baby from her right breast. |
| 02:32 | Therefore, she is using her right hand to hold the baby’s body. |
| 02:37 | She is using the thumb and fingers of her left hand to hold the lower part of her baby’s head. |
| 02:46 | Next, Let us see the correct position of mother’s thumb and fingers for holding the baby’s head. |
| 02:54 | Mother’s thumb should be-behind one ear, and rest of the fingers behind the other ear of the baby. |
| 03:02 | She should not move her fingers or thumb from behind the ear to the baby’s neck. |
| 03:08 | She should not apply pressure on the back of the baby’s head with her hand.
This will keep the baby comfortable while feeding. |
| 03:20 | Next, let us learn how to position the baby’s body correctly. |
| 03:25 | The baby should be placed on the mother’s body in such a way that baby’s stomach is on the mother’s stomach |
| 03:32 | And the baby’s head is near the mother’s breast. |
| 03:38 | Lesser distance between the baby and the breast will help the baby to reach the breast. |
| 03:44 | And it will become easier for the baby to attach deeply. |
| 03:49 | Then, the second important point is the direction in which the baby’s entire body is held. |
| 03:56 | You may have noticed that- When we eat food, our head, neck and body are always in the same direction. |
| 04:05 | Similarly- Baby’s head, neck and body should always be in the same direction while breastfeeding. |
| 04:14 | This will make swallowing milk easier for the baby. |
| 04:19 | Remember, the baby can be positioned on the mother’s body in any direction, as long as - the whole front part of the baby’s body is placed on the front part of the mother’s body |
| 04:32 | And the baby can reach the breast easily. |
| 04:38 | Now we come to the third point in positioning the baby’s body. |
| 04:42 | The mother should support the full body of her baby. |
| 04:47 | Otherwise, the baby will have to take a lot of effort to attach deeply to the breast. |
| 04:54 | Next, let’s look at the position of baby’s nose and chin. |
| 04:59 | Baby’s nose should always be in line with the nipple. |
| 05:03 | And her chin should be forward and very close to the breast. |
| 05:09 | This will ensure that the baby takes in more of the lower part of the areola while latching. |
| 05:15 | And therefore, will use the lower jaw to drink more milk efficiently. |
| 05:21 | Please note- Areola is the dark area around the nipple. |
| 05:27 | Now, the baby is in laid back hold and ready to latch on for breastfeeding. |
| 05:34 | In this hold, the baby can naturally attach deeply to the mother’s breast. |
| 05:40 | Deep attachment of the baby to the breast is explained in another video of the same series. |
| 05:49 | As soon as the baby is deeply attached to the breast- mother can release the baby’s head from her hand
And use both her hands to support the baby’s body. |
| 06:01 | In this position, the mother should lie back, relax and breastfeed.
|
| 06:07 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial.
Thank you for joining. |
