Human breast milk has everything your baby needs to grow and thrive. It has the perfect balance of nutrients, proteins, fats, vitamins and water that your baby needs. Breast milk also has the ability to change depending on the climate, environment, illness, and your growing baby’s nutritional demands. So the best way to quench your baby’s thirst is to put them to the breast. #ammamidwives #ontariomidwives #breastfeeding #motherhood #babies

A well-fed baby is one who is doing any of the following: 1) Feeling satisfied after a feed at the breast (provided that they are getting a full feed). 2) Is pooping and peeing well. 3) Is gaining weight. ... 4) Is emptying one breast per feed once the milk has ‘come in’ (a sign they are getting a full feed and hind milkthe fatty portion of breast milk).

Understanding normal newborn behaviour is essential to understanding why your baby may want to nurse ALL of the time. Here are some of the reasons why it seems like you are being milked dry: In the first few days of life your newborn breastfeeds what seems to be all of the time because they are trying to stimulate your milk to come in. The more they breastfeed, the quicker your milk comes in, AND the more they are put to the breast, the more they get of that sweet delicious ‘liquid gold’colostrum. When the milk comes in (on average on the 3rd day), babies tend to cluster feed. This is their way of stimulating your breasts to produce the amount of milk your baby demands (which usually means very engorged breasts). #ammamidwives #ontariomidwives #midwives #breastfeeding

The truth is that new moms have EVERYTHING that their babies need in the first few days of life. Women produce a substance from their breasts called colostrum. colostrum is a laxative that causes meconium (the baby’s first poo) to come out. It is also packed with immunoglobulins which are building blocks that help to develop your baby’s immune system to fight off diseases, it contains the proteins, fats and vitamins that your baby’s muscles and essential organs (such as the brain, heart and eyes) need to develop and grow, and it reduces the chances of your baby developing jaundice. #ammamidwives #ontariomidwives #midwives #foodforbabies
