Breastfeeding Feeding Stages

• Newborn (0-6 Weeks): Newborns need to nurse every 2-3 hours. At this stage, feeding on demand helps establish a milk supply.
• 6 Weeks - 3 Months: Babies may feed less frequently, often every 3-4 hours, as their stomachs grow.
• 3-6 Months: Milk is still the primary nutrition source, but some may notice baby’s feeds become more predictable.
• 6+ Months: With the introduction of solids, breastfeeding continues alongside other foods to support development.

Essential Breastfeeding Products

• Nursing Pillow: Helps position the baby comfortably.
• Breast Pump: Useful for building a milk stash or for moms returning to work.
• Milk Storage Bags: Convenient for storing expressed milk.
• Nursing Bras and Pads: Support and prevent leaks.
• Lanolin Cream: Eases soreness or nipple discomfort.
• Breastfeeding Cover: Provides privacy when nursing in public.

Top Concerns for Breastfeeding Moms & Solutions

• Low Milk Supply: Ensure regular nursing, stay hydrated, and consider lactation supplements.
• Latch Issues: Work with a lactation consultant to help improve baby’s latch.
• Pain or Soreness: Apply nipple cream and adjust feeding positions to reduce discomfort.
• Feeding Frequency: Cluster feeding is common, especially during growth spurts; practice patience and flexibility.
