Did you know that babies are born with the instinct to find the breast all on their own? Right after birth, if placed skin-to-skin on their mama’s chest, a newborn can actually crawl and nuzzle their way to latch. No GPS, no Wi-Fi, no instructions needed. Just pure survival and connection written into their tiny little bodies. 🤱✨ It’s one of the most incredible reminders that our babies are hardwired for us, and that nature really does know best.

“In most parts of the world… babies sleep close to their mothers, as they have through most of history.” – The Art of Breastfeeding

A baby is born expecting to stay in close contact with his mother night and day, in order to keep safe, warm and well-fed.

It is perfectly normal for babies—especially breastfed babies—to wake and feed at night throughout at least the first year. Bedsharing when breastfeeding is a traditional way of caring for a baby at night—breastfeeding at night can be a whole lot easier when you take your baby into bed with you and feed lying down.

Please follow the Safe Sleep 7 for safer bedsharing:

Your latch doesn't always need to look a certain way, but it should be comfortable for both you and your baby. If you need any help, please reach out to us 💚

Weight gain is a helpful measurement for determining how well your baby is doing. This is not the only way to know your baby is thriving, but it is a valuable indicator of health in a baby. If your baby is not gaining well, it can be a sign that breastfeeding is not going well. Or it may mean that a health issue is preventing your baby from growing as expected.

There is a wide range of normal weight gain in babies. Many babies who gain weight slowly are perfectly healthy. It is important to look at all the signs of health when evaluating a baby’s growth pattern.

Why does you baby wake up 10 minutes after a feed? It's all to do with hormones (and possibly because you put them down!).

Isn't breastfeeding amazing?! "Human breast milk regulates a baby’s mix of microbes, known as the microbiome, during the infant’s first year of life. This in turn lowers the child’s risk of developing asthma, a new study shows."

Keep your baby close to you while feeding will help them feel more secure and help with comfortable positioning 💚
