32 // YOUR Prenatal and Beyond Guide to Breastfeeding Part 1: Learn What is Normal and How to Set Yourself Up for Success
Many of us spend most of our pregnancy researching and planning our birth, but do little preparation for one of the biggest, first hurdles in motherhood… breastfeeding. Today IBCLC Alicia Duncan is back and we have put together 2 episodes dedicated to preparing you for your best breastfeeding journey possible ( lots of prayer hands here).
In part 1 we will cover learning hand expression, collecting colostrum before baby arrives, importance of skin-to-skin, first-latch/ golden hour, how exactly the baby effectively extracts milk, milk production, engorgement and how to handle it, should you pump or should you offer a pacifier in those early days, how often should you feed and for how long, and why it's ok for baby to pacify at the breast.
Truly much of our conversation today revolves around what those early days will look like, thinking about it all from the baby's perspective, and what you can do to set yourself up for success.
We've created a downloadable Prenatal and Beyond Breastfeeding Resource Guide just for you! You can find it in the Mama Collective FB page, OR on my website: https://www.mamainspired.com/breastfeeding-guide.
We hope you ate all this up and that you will share it with all your mamas-to-be! Stay tuned for Part 2!
