Congratulations on your new baby! Whether you’re sure you want to breastfeed or you’re still deciding, know that breast milk is one of the most important gifts you can give your growing baby. Breast milk protects babies from illness and infection and promotes their brain development. Because it’s made especially for each baby, breast milk has important ingredients that are not found in artificial baby milk.
- For twins, try the football hold
- Baby’s body should be in a line
- If the latch hurts, stop and try again
- To increase supply, try power pumping
- When you’re out, wear baby in a sling — you can breastfeed while walking around, and no one will notice
As a first-time mom, it was amazing to know that my body was producing everything my baby needed and that she was continuing to depend on me. Breastfeeding was an amazing experience and I plan on breastfeeding my next child, too.
