You’ll never think about hamburgers in the same way again! Seriously though, I use this analogy often!

This may seem like a strange question but take a moment and pretend to take a big bite out of a burger.

What does your head do? Where do you put the bun? How do you take a big bite?

The motion of a baby latching well looks a lot like the motion of taking a big bite of a burger.

Your baby's chin is on the breast, then his head tips back as he latches. When your baby is latched well, his chin will be deep into the breast.

A deep latch ensures that your baby gets plenty of milk and you feel no pain.

All babies lose some weight in the first 24 hours. If you received IV fluids during labour, your baby may lose even more, not because of feeding, but because the fluids make the birth weight look higher than it really is.

That’s why the 24-hour weight is the most accurate starting point for tracking growth.

Researchers in Canada found that using the 24-hour weight instead of the birth weight helped more babies stay exclusively breastfed in their first few days of life.

Growing well = getting enough milk. ❤️
