For starters, I want to remind You that the baby suck the breast learns during the first few months. So You from the start need to teach the child to correctly capture the chest and not to use simulators chest (nipples, pacifiers), so as not to cause confusion in the child.
When sucking from the breast and sucking from the bottle uses a different mechanism for sucking. When sucking from the bottle, the language of the child rises to suspend a strong flow from the bottle. Thus, the combination of breast-feeding by sucking from a bottle can capture a child's confused, lead to inefficient sucking chest and the refusal of it.
Bottle sucking has a number of negative consequences: the child does not receive milk from the breast sucking. He uses the sucking to pull the breast tissue, which forms a “pacifier”, and holds it in his mouth.
If the child correctly takes the breast, due to the reflex oxytocin breast milk enters the lactiferous sinus, and right movements of the tongue baby milk flows child in the mouth. Moreover, with such a sucking tongue and mouth of the child does not RUB the skin of the breast and nipple. This is very important because it does not cause pain when sucking baby and the occurrence of scratches and cracks. But the shape of the nipple is not so important for successful breastfeeding.
Good attachment to the breast: a step-by-step
1. Make yourself comfortable, relax. Take a comfortable position, lying down or sitting, in order to keep the child close to his chest for a relatively long time. There are many ways of feeding: sitting, lying down, squatting. None of them are “right “ or “wrong” until you are relaxed, and the child is conveniently located.
2. Hold your baby in this position, so he didn't have to pull the head. People like it is with an elongated head? This means that the breast of the child should turn to his chest, i.e. turn his tummy to your tummy. Check to see whether it is convenient for your child.
3. Attach the child close to his chest, so he didn't have to strive and reach for the breast during feeding. Your nipple will be damaged if the child will make their best efforts to keep the nipple in his mouth.
4. Hold back child support, do not hold his head. If the baby's head is firmly clamped, he may instinctively try to be turned out, "fight" at the breast.
5. The nose of the child during feeding should be at the same level with the nipple. This means that the child will have to turn a little head to get the nipple, help him, supporting the lower part of the backrest.
6. Shouldn fingers of your hand to adjust the distance between the nose of the child and breastfeeding. Clamping fingers chest, you are breaking the shape of the breast, making it difficult for the child to grip the nipple. When correctly placed, the child breathes through the nasal region.
7. Do not hold or move the chest in the likeness of the bottle. Your movements will prevent the child to grasp the breast. The child should grab the chest to get a concentration of milk. If there is a need breast support, support from below, preferably the entire palm of the hand, the edge attached to the chest wall. Fingers keep at a distance (about 10 cm) from the nipple.
8. If the child is sleepy or restless, attract his attention to feeding a gentle touch to the cheek or mouth or touch the nipple. Squeeze a drop of milk on the surface of the nipple, it will further stimulate the appetite of the child. Children usually open in this position the mouth, and make the language “milking” motion.
9. When you see that baby's mouth is wide open, tongue is deep below the mouth, all your task: to show agility, quickly bring the child to him and give him a chance to "grab". You will need the experience of several feedings to learn, not all given at once, at the first attempt.
10. Remember that this child needs to be drawn to the breast, not you yearn for him to breastfeed.
When the correct attachment of the baby to the breast:
· Lips and gums of the baby putting pressure on the areola.
· The tongue should be in the lower part of the mouth, joint movement of the tongue and lower jaw to form a wave-like motion, the so-called process of "milking" that squeezes the milk, squeezing the milk sinuses, by pressing them to the sky.
· Language can be seen between your lips and breast.
· The child evenly and slowly sucks the milk, and the movement spread sometimes to the ears. Noticeable and sometimes even hear he eats.
· Due to the close range, the chin and nose of the child can touch the chest. You should not worry about his breathing, nature has provided the structure of the nose and the full breath in this position. With the exception of cases when the child has to "fight", at the breast. Often the struggle is called when he is unable to move her head freely, for example, if an adult's hand clamped over the head, locking her movement.
· When the correct position of the child feeding painless.
Poses for breastfeeding
To make it easier to feed in the classic pose, you can use any means at hand: pillows under my back and elbow, arm, bench under the leg. The main thing that Your body was relaxed. It is very important that You've seen a child's face.
The baby's head is at Your elbow bend from the side of the breast that You feed your baby. The same hand You support the child under the back.
It is possible under the back of the baby putting a pillow, so that he was on the level of the nipple of the breast.
Make sure that the child's body was pressed against Your body. However, his head and torso are in the same plane.
It is desirable that when feeding the child had the opportunity to closely interact with Our body. Therefore it is better to feed him in the shirt and the diaper with open arms and legs. If such contact provides additional stimulation of hormone secretion, regulating lactation. this is especially important at the initial stages of milk production or insufficient.
In the first days after the birth, You may be more convenient to feed the baby in position on the side lying. When lying on the side of the lower arm bend at the elbow and place it along the body of the child. Your head while lying high on the pillow. Alternatively, the bent lower arm can be put under his head. But in this position gets tired quickly bent arm.
If the child is small, it is also possible to adapt the pad.
Can be used for feeding baby pose "soccer ball", or from under the mouse. This will put the baby on the pillow. His body lies on Your hand and feet go around Your body and can 
to be bent. You support your child's shoulders, his head and neck from below. You also need to make yourself comfortable: put back under the pillow, so you can sit relaxed. When feeding the child in a pose from under the mouse follow the position of the lower lips of the child at the time of sucking. For this purpose the finger check turned it out or not. If the lower lip of the child not turned out, then try to rectify the situation, i.e. remove it to capture the chest was correct.
Eventually, when You learn how to put baby to the breast, You will no longer need any special devices, pads, etc. You will be able to feed the baby sitting, lying, standing, supine, depending on the situation. Moreover, when the baby starts to walk, he will be put to the breast in any convenient position, for example, sitting on your lap face to his chest.
Now, remember: correct capture the child's chest, comfortable posture of the mother and the contact skin-to-skin contact during feeding, the correct position of the child at the breast is absolutely necessary conditions for a successful and prolonged lactation.
