Did you know? 📣
👉Breastmilk changes flavor:
What you eat can subtly change the taste of your breastmilk—baby gets a little preview of what family meals might be like later!
👉Your body customizes the milk:
Your breastmilk adapts to your baby’s needs. If your baby is sick, your body increases antibodies in the milk to help fight it off.
👉It’s a natural pain reliever:
Breastfeeding releases oxytocin in both mom and baby, which can reduce pain and boost bonding.
👉Boobs know what baby needs:
The composition of breastmilk changes over time—from colostrum (the first milk) to mature milk—to match your baby's growth stages.
👉One b**b can produce more than the other:
It’s common for one breast to be the "power producer" while the other just coasts along.
👉Breastfeeding burns calories:
You can burn up to 500 extra calories a day while breastfeeding. It's like a workout without leaving the couch!
👉Milk comes out in sprays, not drops:
During a letdown, milk often sprays out in multiple streams—it's like a built-in baby showerhead!
👉Milk can look like a rainbow:
Breastmilk can be blue, yellow, white, green, or even pink depending on diet, hydration, and other factors.
👉Babies can smell you from across the room:
Newborns have a powerful sense of smell and can recognize their mama’s scent and milk—even from several feet away.
👉You can tandem nurse:
Some moms breastfeed two kids at different ages at the same time—like a milk buffet!
