🍒 Did you know?

A newborn's stomach is only about the size of a cherry during the first 1–2 days after birth.

This is one reason why colostrum the first milk your body produces. It is so important.

Although it comes in small amounts, colostrum is highly concentrated with nutrients and antibodies that help support your baby's growth and immune system.

As your baby's stomach grows, your milk volume naturally increases to meet their changing needs.

If you're worried that your baby isn't getting enough milk in those early day

Remember: newborn stomachs are tiny, and small, frequent feedings are normal.
Every drop counts.

How do I know if my baby is getting enough milk?

If you've ever asked yourself this question, you're not alone.
Many breastfeeding moms worry about supply, especially in the early weeks. But instead of focusing on the pump, look at your baby.

✔️ Regular wet diapers
✔️ Regular bowel movements
✔️ Baby seems satisfied after feeds
✔️ Steady weight gain

These are some of the best signs that your baby is getting enough milk.

Still unsure?
Reach out to a lactation professional for support.

Breastfeeding moms don’t always need big help.
Just real, everyday support.
Small things matter: a glass of water, help with the baby, and doing chores without being asked.

Our hearts are full.

Thank you to the beautiful moms who joined us for our Evening Breastfeeding Support Group.

There is something so powerful about gathering with other mothers who understand the highs, lows, questions, and challenges of the breastfeeding journey.

We're grateful for the conversations, connection, and community we shared together.

We can't wait to see you next month.

Your body is already preparing to breastfeed…
even before your baby is born. 🤰💛
Colostrum production starts during pregnancy, your first milk is already on the way.
It begins in the 2nd trimester as early as 16 weeks.
Between 16-22 weeks.

Also, I want to remind you, it’s ok if your breasts don’t leak while pregnant, that doesn’t determine whether you will make milk or not.

Bigger bottles can unintentionally lead to overfeeding.
Babies naturally know when they’re hungry and when they’re full, so we follow their cues, not the bottle size.

Look for signs like slowing down, turning away, or relaxing hands.
Feed the baby, not the bottle. 🍼

One day baby latches perfectly.
The next, they pull away, fuss, or prefer the bottle.
Feeding from the breast and bottle requires different sucking patterns, flow, and effort so your baby may simply be adjusting, not rejecting you.

A few gentle things that can help:
• Paced bottle feeding
• Slow-flow ni***es
• Offering the breast when baby is calm

Most importantly, be patient.
This phase is common, temporary, and fixable.
