Ahhhh… burping! The thing that stresses people out.
Did you know that studies have shown no difference in “colicky” behaviour between babies who are burped and those who aren’t, and even an increase in reflux in babies who are burped?
Active burping isn’t needed. Your baby will burp when she needs to.

Breastmilk is the complete first food for human babies, and breastfeeding has huge health benefits for babies and mothers, as well as benefits for the environment, for economies and society at large.

When your baby is drinking deeply at the breast, their little ears will wiggle.
This shows that bub is using the right facial and cranial muscles to suck effectively.

Tandem feeding is simply breastfeeding siblings who aren’t twins.

It is safe to continue to breastfeed your older child during a subsequent pregnancy. Some toddlers will self wean during this time as your supply tends to drop due to pregnancy hormones. The milk will also change back to colostrum, which will taste different.

If your toddler isn’t ready to wean, you may want to consider tandem feeding.

Benefits include:
🤱🏽your older child can ease engorgement, which can make it easier for your newborn to latch.
🤱🏽by breastfeeding two children, your milk supply will be boosted.
🤱🏽it can be a lovely way to help your older child bond with and adjust to having a new sibling.

Some mums feed both children together, others prefer to keep feeds separate. There is no right or wrong when it comes to tandem feeding, so choose the way that works for you!
