⭐Did You Know?⭐

Breast milk or formula remains your baby's main source of nutrition until at least their first birthday!

Weaning at 6 months is not about replacing milk. It's about:
✨ Exploring tastes
✨ Playing with textures
✨ Learning how to chew
✨ Practising swallowing

Milk still provides the majority of calories and nutrients during this stage, so if your baby only has a mouthful, a few spoonfuls or a small plate full, they're still getting what they need!

Milk first. Food after. No pressure ❤️

⭐Is it normal...?⭐
..for baby to be sleepy?

Yes, so normal! They've been through a lot just like you!

Not all babies feed straight away - some are alert and ready, some are a bit sleepier and some may have gone through a long labour or medications may have made them drowsy.

Sleepiness in the first few hours doesn't mean feeding won't work though.

Keep baby close, offer skin to skin and watch for those early feeding cues. Gently undress baby, change their nappy or stroke their hands and feet to rouse them.

The golden hour is an opportunity, not a pass or fail moment. So if it didn't happen for you, please don't worry.

There is plenty of time for skin and skin (it never loses it's benefits) and bonding ❤️

⭐Top Tip⭐

Protect the golden hour!

If you can, ask for uninterrupted skin to skin straight after birth.

Skin to skin helps to:
✨ Regulate baby's temperature
✨ Stabilise baby's heart rate and breathing
✨ Support blood sugar levels
✨ Encourage feeding instincts
✨ Boosts oxytocin for both of you

Remember, even if you're having a Caesarean birth, skin to skin is still possible in theatre!

That first hour isn't about weighing, measuring or passing baby around - it's about connection ❤️

⭐Did You Know?⭐

Many babies are born with the instinct to find the breast all by themselves! 😍

It's called the breast crawl and it's completely instinctive.

When a baby is placed on their parent's chest after birth in skin to skin, the baby will often:
✨ Rest
✨ Start to wriggle
✨ Bob their head
✨ Move towards the breast
✨ Self latch

The 'golden hour' after birth is a window where babies can bond with their parent, recover from the birth and often have their first feed.

Even if the birth doesn't go to plan though, skin to skin and feeding can still absolutely happen ❤️

Amy enjoyed all of the sleepy baby snuggles this week at our Leyland group 🥹🥹😍😍

We have been talking about re-establishing your supply, feeding in upright positions and much more too - we're always happy to answer any questions you have ❤️

Going back to work can feel:
✨Guilty
✨Emotional
✨Relieving
✨Empowering
✨Heartbreaking
✨Exciting
Sometimes all in one day!

However you feel is valid.

Breastfeeding doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Your bond isn’t measured in hours spent together. And your baby doesn’t stop needing you just because you’ve gone back to work.

You are still their safe place. Always ❤️

If you’re navigating this stage right now, you’re not alone. Our groups are a supportive space to talk it through and build confidence before the transition 💜
