A latch is just the beginning, mama
It’s not only about baby being on the breast it’s about baby drinking from the breast.
Look for the signs your little one is truly feeding:
• slow, deep jaw movements
• soft swallows you can see or hear
• that gentle rhythm suck, suck, pause
• shoulders and ears moving with each sip
• the calm, satisfied energy of a content baby
• no pain on mama’s ni***es and breasts
These are the signs of milk flowing of your body and your baby in perfect conversation.
Trust that language. You’re both learning each other, one feed at a time.
At Mama Omiiye, I have the joy of working alongside incredible lactation consultant and birth professionals who share their deep wisdom with families every day.
Being surrounded by such care and knowledge reminds me how much there is to learn and how much we can give back.
Your baby is speaking. Your body is listening. Together, you’re finding your rhythm. 🤍
With love,
Mama Omiiye 🤎
