Many mothers spend months reading books, watching videos, and learning about breastfeeding during pregnancy. Yet when it comes to feeding their newborn for the first time, they still feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and sometimes even discouraged by pain or breast engorgement.
The truth is, breastfeeding is not only a mother's instinct—it is also a skill and a science that can be learned and mastered.
At Guoyi Tang Confinement Centre's New Parents Class, our resident TCM practitioner, Ms. Lai Li, not only provides professional guidance backed by medical knowledge, but also conducts hands-on demonstrations to help mothers overcome common breastfeeding challenges with confidence.
In this post, we've summarized some of the key takeaways from her class:
✅ Why is colostrum so precious for newborns?
✅ How can proper positioning help prevent back and shoulder pain during breastfeeding?
✅ How can you help your baby achieve a proper latch and avoid nipple pain?
✅ What is the correct hand-expression technique for breast engorgement? (Stop blindly massaging or squeezing!)
Love is not only about gentle care—it is also about having the confidence and knowledge to support your baby every step of the way.
At Guoyi Tang Confinement Centre, we are here to guide you through the journey from a first-time parent to a confident one. ✨
