🍼 Understanding Cluster Feeding

If your baby suddenly wants to nurse every hour (or even more), don’t worry — this is called cluster feeding. It’s completely normal and an important part of how breastfeeding works.

💡 During cluster feeding, your baby is:
• Stimulating your body to increase milk supply
• Helping your milk adjust to their growth spurt
• Seeking comfort and connection as their needs change

It can feel exhausting, but this phase doesn’t last forever — and it means your baby’s body and yours are perfectly in sync. 🤎

Stay hydrated, rest when you can, and trust the process — your body knows what to do.

✨ Teething & Complementary Feeding for Our Breastfeeding Babies ✨

Teething can bring on drooling, fussiness, and the need for extra comfort — and often, that comfort is the breast. Nursing during this stage not only soothes sore gums but also provides immune support while little ones adjust to new changes.

Around 6 months, many babies begin showing readiness for complementary foods (while still breastfeeding as their main source of nutrition). Signs of readiness include:

🍎 Sitting up with minimal support
🥄 Showing interest in your food
👅 Ability to move food from spoon to swallow
✋🏾 Reaching or grabbing food

Breastmilk (or formula if using) is still the foundation, but soft fruits, iron-rich foods, and gentle textures can be introduced alongside nursing.

💡 Tip: If teething makes feeding uncomfortable, offering chilled (not frozen) teething rings or cool washcloths before nursing can ease gum pain.

🌸 Remember, every baby is unique. Trust your instincts, follow your baby’s cues, and lean on your sisters for support during this season of growth.

SBE- Self Breast Exam

Have you done one this month🤔

The best time to perform an SBE is after your period🩸

You can do this either laying down or standing in the
shower 🚿

With your arms 🆙, examine each breast for any noticeable changes in shape, skin and ni**le changes. Do this again with your arms down⬇️

Look for any discharge from the ni**les 🧐

With 3 fingers from the right hand🖐🏾, starting at the ni**le of your left breast, in a circular motion move around the breast feeling for any lumps until you reach the outer edges of the breast.

Switch hands🖐🏾 and repeat this on the right breast

Prevention and early detection is key🔑

Don't skip out on your yearly mammogram‼️
