World Breastfeeding Week
5 DOS For A Plentiful Milk Supply:
1. Surround yourself with a support team that knows about breastfeeding - family, friends, professionals. 2. Learn the 5 basic positions and how to get a good latch. 3. Feed on cue - baby will tell you when they are hungry so let them be the boss! 4. Let baby fall asleep at the breast. 5. Stay hydrated. 5 DON'TS: 1. Feed on a schedule (unless medically indicated). 2. Limit baby’s duration at the breast and frequency at the breast. 3. Don’t supplement (unless medically necessary). 4. Sleep train - this can reduce milk supply. 5. Worry! (Or rather, DO have faith in your body and your baby).
