Questions on breast feeding
Hi
Sometimes I worry that when I feed the baby the breast might cover the nose / nostrils .. also while burping the baby on the chest , sometimes the head turns towards my chest which I worry about since that might block air breathing .. not sure if this is a common since many people may face the same problems
Can this cause any issue ?

You should always hold your fingers over your breast so that baby doesn’t get suffocated. Always make sure that baby’s nose is free and not covered. It’s risky. Learn proper burning technique. Usually baby’s head will be over the shoulder while burping there is no chance of suffocation.

While feeding make sure the baby's face is not covered and do not lean on the baby.
