Feeding a baby can be done multiple ways with breastmilk. You can latch the baby directly to your breast or exclusively pump. Did you know there is more than one position to put your baby in to breastfeed? The most common two position moms tend to hold baby in is the football hold and cradle. When it comes to positions it's about what is comfortable for both you and baby.
Did you know as a pumper, that bottle size and nipple flow is important? The flow of a bottle nipple is faster than your breast and the baby doesn't have to work as hard. Baby is able to control the flow of the milk coming out of the breast compared to a bottle. The way the bottle is held plays a part in the intake of the milk. With breastmilk you don't need 8oz bottles to feed a baby. That's just the iceberg, it gets deeper. Be sure to contact me so we can make sure you know your options.
