Expanding on nature’s design, here’s how to nurture your journey:
In the initial days postpartum, your body produces colostrum—a nutrient-rich, yellowish fluid packed with immune-boosting cells. Though small (a newborn’s stomach is quite small!), this simple liquid meets all early nutritional needs. Frequent feeding during this phase aligns with your baby’s tiny appetite while signaling your body to increase milk production.
Breastfeeding early and often (every 2-3 hours) helps establish supply. Around days 2–3, cluster-feeding sessions signal your body to boost milk production. By days 3–5, colostrum transitions to mature milk, marked by fuller breasts. Leaking and engorgement are normal but temporary as your body adjusts.
Find what works for you and your baby:
Cradle/Football Hold: Supports C-section recovery or daytime feeds.
Side-lying: Ideal for nighttime comfort (stay alert for safety).
Laid-back: Eases fast letdown.
Aim for a latch where the baby’s mouth covers the areola—not just the nipple—to prevent pain and ensure effective feeding.
Look for:
Final Note: The first weeks demand patience, but breastfeeding becomes intuitive. Seek support from lactation consultants if needed, and remember: Every feed strengthens your bond.
Trust your body’s wisdom—this journey is as much about love as it is about nourishment.
