Breastfeeding tips 🤱
1) it’s going to be uncomfortable in the beginning, but it is going to be worth it
2) if you’re having a hard time latching, you can use nipple shields, have your baby assessed for tongue ties, or see a lactation consultant
3) if you’re worried about how much your baby is eating, you can do a weighted feed
4) do not worry about building a stash right away! Your job is to feed your baby not your freezer
5) theres so many resources available if you are struggling - fb groups, other mamas, lactation consultants, OBGYN & more!

Breastfeeding can be a rewarding but challenging experience for new mothers. Many moms find the initial days uncomfortable, but understanding the process can help ease concerns. Resources are available for those facing difficulties, including lactation consultants and online support groups. Additionally, struggles like latching issues or anxiety about feeding amounts are common—but solutions exist, from using nipple shields to scheduling weighted feeds. Building a milk stash can wait; your primary focus should be nurturing your baby. Remember, every mom's journey is unique, and seeking advice from others can be beneficial. Engaging with communities and sharing experiences can enhance your confidence and knowledge in breastfeeding. Don't hesitate to reach out for support—you are not alone in this journey!
