We suggest this often for babies who need encouragement at the breast.

Sometimes babies need a little extra support to keep feeding!

Breast compressions can help keep the milk flowing when your baby is sucking but not actively drinking. It’s a simple way to encourage more swallowing and help your baby get more milk during a feed.

You can also pair this with switch nursing, moving from one side to the other, to keep your baby engaged and feeding. Small adjustments can make a big difference.

We have been discussing expectations in our monthly meetings. Sometimes expectations don't match reality. You can always reach out to a Leader or come to a meeting if your breastfeeding reality doesn't match your expectations or desires.

It is okay for the plan to change.

Winter can bring shifts in energy, routines, and expectations. Feeding plans can change. Support needs can change. Giving yourself permission to adjust and reach out is always part of the journey.
