Finger Feeding Your Baby with a Syringe.

If your baby needs extra top-ups in those first few days, finger feeding is a breastfeeding-friendly way without using a bottle (avoiding ni**le confusion) and this technique feels very similar to nursing as it helps your baby practice the right jaw and tongue movements. It’s also a great way to wake up a sleepy baby—a little extra can give your baby the energy they need to feed more effectively at the breast later on.

How to do it:

Wash your hands well and make sure your nails are short.

Hold your baby in front of you in a slightly inclined position. Place your index finger into the roof of their mouth with your nail facing down. When your finger touches the roof of their mouth, they will naturally start to suck as it triggers their suck reflex.

Gently slide a syringe into the corner of your baby’s mouth. Push the milk in slowly while they are sucking, but stop the moment they take a break so they can swallow safely.

Cathy always says believe in yourself, anything is possible!

Sometimes if you just start with the basics - eat well, do some exercise, keep going...

Anything is possible for your birth.

Colostrum is your baby’s first milk. It is made while you are pregnant and just after birth for the first few days.

It’s often called “liquid gold” because it is rich in nutrients and it supports your baby’s immune system and gut function.

Colostrum is a laxative, which helps your baby pass their first meconium poo.

It is all your healthy, full-term baby needs in those first few days.

Breastfeeding….

We don’t always reach our goals - it can be hard but we can still do what’s important- to love and connect with our baby.

Thank you for taking the time to answer some questions about her feeding journey ❣️

We asked Kim “ If you could say something to yourself looking back at those times, what would it be?”.
