Breastfeeding requires preparations, practice and patience . It's important to understand that it can be a challenging but rewarding experience for both mother and baby. New mothers should know about latching techniques, positioning, milk supply, potential challenges, and support resources.

Good to know~

Mixing formula and human milk in the same bottle is not recommended, and here’s why:
🧪 Different storage rules:
Formula must be discarded right after a feed, but human milk can be safely stored for 1–2 hours. Mixing the two could lead to wasting your milk if the bottle isn’t finished.
🛡️ Loss of protective properties:
Mixing formula with human milk can reduce lysozyme activity, an enzyme that helps protect against harmful bacteria like E. coli.

Added components in formula, like iron, may bind to the nutrients in your milk, reducing their absorbability.
💡 Best practice?

Laid back feeding positions are my go-to when I’m supporting families with breastfeeding.

They can be a lot more instinctive, and come with less ‘rules’ than other positions.

➡️Let baby lead the way and nuzzle themselves into the perfect position 👌🏻

Need a hand? Give me a dm, and we’ll get a consult booked in!
