The Breastfeeding Companion

Self Hypnosis. This effective self-hypnosis audio cd combines deep relaxation with guided visualisation and support to help you breastfeed successfully. Breastfeeding difficulties are often due to the mother feeling tense and worried about doing it right or not producing enough milk, not following the natural cues and rhythms of her baby's need to feed and not eating and drinking enough. All of these factors actually compound the problem, as stress and anxiety are directly linked to a reduction in the production of milk. However, once a mother relaxes and begins to trust her body and her baby's cues to feed, breastfeeding becomes a much easier and more enjoyable experience. In addition by feeding her baby as often as her baby needs, the production and supply of milk will increase and become in unison with her baby's needs so she will produce exactly the right amount of milk for her baby.
