Breastfeeding basics
Gentle guidance, no shame.
Short, friendly reminders for the days that feel long.
Gentle do's
Feed on demand
Watch baby, not the clock.
Hold baby skin-to-skin
It calms you both and supports supply.
Watch the cues
Early cues mean easier feeds.
Stay hydrated
A glass of water at every feed.
Ask for support
Doulas, IBCLCs, and family count.
Gentle don'ts
Don't give newborns water
Breast milk or formula has all they need.
Don't force a strict schedule
Tiny tummies feed often.
Don't ignore early cues
Crying makes latching harder.
Don't compare your journey
Every baby and parent is different.
Don't panic at cluster feeds
It's how supply is built.
"However you feed your baby — breast, bottle, or both — you are doing enough."
