EP 35:
In today’s episode, we’re diving into two of the most common breastfeeding challenges—low milk supply and latching issues—and, more importantly, how to overcome them. If you’re pregnant and worried about starting your breastfeeding journey, this episode is for you. I’ll share practical tips and actionable advice that will give you the confidence you need to breastfeed successfully.

Key Takeaways:

1. Demand and Supply – It’s not about supply and demand; it’s demand and supply! The more your baby nurses, the more milk your body will produce.
2. Hydration and Nourishment – Stay hydrated and well-nourished to help your body heal postpartum and produce enough milk.
3. Avoid Early Supplementation – Supplementing with formula too early can interrupt your body’s milk production process. Aim to breastfeed or pump at least eight times in 24 hours to establish a steady supply.
4. Latching Tips – Positioning is key. Keep your baby’s head, neck, and body aligned for a deep latch. Don’t let the baby latch onto just the nipple—make sure they take in the areola too!
