Nursing or pumping? Wondering what you can do to boost the flow? Check out these great tips!

👶Latch:
Sometimes tiny adjustments can make a world of difference when it comes to boosting milk flow! Wondering if your little one's latch might need an adjustment? Check out TinyURL.com/LatchedDeeply to learn the signs of a deep comfortable latch that can help your baby get more milk, more easily.

📐Flange Fit:
When it comes to pumping, the fit of the fl**ge is vital. Wondering if you've got the right size? Check out this great information sheet to learn more TinyURL.com/PumpFit

💆Massage:
Whether you're nursing or pumping, adding massage to your routine can help your milk flow - use gentle comfortable pressure on your breast/chest prior to, or as you nurse or pump.

🖐️Compressions:
Adding compressions while nursing or pumping can help boost your flow and make each nursing/pumping session more effective. To learn how visit TinyURL.com/HowToCompress

🥳Boost Good Feelings:
Did you know that the same hormones that are released when you're feeling good, also help your milk to flow more easily too? Tap into those good feelings by watching your favourite feel good movie, reading jokes online etc.. Partners & loved ones can also help by massaging your neck & shoulders or by bringing you your favourite beverage or treat!

Wish you had a few more tips? Have questions about your milk supply or latch? We can help! Visit the link in our bio to learn more about our FREE Virtual Latch & Learn sessions or to connect with In Person Support!

📌Remember, everyone’s journey is different - many parents nurse and never pump at all, while others may pump temporarily or exclusively out of necessity or by choice. Each family is unique, so do what works best for you and your baby.💓 Have questions? Connect with Breastfeeding Buddies if you need support.
