We will start by discussing the importance of non-separation, skin-to-skin contact, and the need for frequent colostrum feedings. This will include comfortable positioning, proper latching, frequency, duration, and more. Did you know that the average colostrum feeding is just 1½ teaspoons?
I will also address some obstacles and provide solutions for potentially disruptive hospital policies and practices and the inappropriate interruption of breastfeeding that can occur in the first 24-48 hours.
While we are together, I will answer questions about pumping, milk storage, formula, pediatricians, pacifiers, bottles, how to know if the baby is swallowing, pee and poop, tandem nursing, Medela supplementers, the AAP… I could go on.
