How do I avoid breast infection when feeding my newborn?

Preventing breast infection during breastfeeding - alternating which breast you offer first - try different breastfeeding position (you can refer to this article for some suggestions: http://develop.sg.theasianparent.com/breastfeed-all-about-positioning/) to help drain all areas of your breast - air-dry your nipples after each feeding session (will help prevent cracking) - drink plenty of fluids and maintain a healthy diet - have enough rest!
