• Slowly pull your breasts out of the baby’s mouth to prevent them from falling asleep while breastfeeding. (Baby will try to keep your breast)
• Massage your baby’s back with your fingertips while breastfeeding
• Tell her good things while nursing
• Breastfeed your baby from the same breast until all the milk in a breast is exhausted. When your baby starts sucking, the first milk to come is juicy. As the baby continues to suck, the milk becomes darker and the fat-rich part begins to come. This last milk will saturate it and let go of the breast itself. Therefore, breastfeed from a single breast at each meal. At the next meal, give your other breast. At the same meal, babies who are undernourished from both breasts do not get enough because they cannot get the last fat milk.
• If your baby’s nose is blocked, he will get angry and not want to suck, so you should clean his nose. You can get support by reading our article about  How to get rid of nasal congestion in babies .
