“Pass the gravy, not the baby” is a great phrase to remember this time of year.

Thanksgiving often means family and friends including many who want to hold the new baby. Many parents find that it helps to set limits and boundaries and it’s also ok to say no!

Here are some tips for breastfeeding during the holidays:
- Be alert to your baby’s cues.
- Be prepared to intervene if your baby is getting over-stimulated or needs to nurse.
- Try finding a quiet place to nurse so that your baby is less distracted.
- Don’t allow yourself to feel guilty if breastfeeding is preventing you from “helping out”.
- Babywear!
