Breastfeeding is a beautiful, wonderful journey… but I think we can all admit that it’s also insanely hard. It is a true BLESSING and a challenge, right moms? And when you have more than one child, you honestly have a different experience with each baby - it’s your own special adventure. For all you mamas who are having a hard time - it’s okay. It’s okay to admit you’re having a hard time. But I promise it can be worth it. Is it “worth it” for every mama and baby? Maybe not.
Is it a magical, special experience? Of course - but a healthy happy mama and baby is worth even more. So for you ladies who are breastfeeding, here are my top tips (aside from purchasing our Liquid Gold and True Milk, of course):
1- HYDRATE. Drink, drink, drink water! And anything you can get your hands on. Some great drinks for lactation support are almond milk & malt chocolate Ovaltine, too!
💛
2- Remember that newborns nurse… a LOT. It doesn’t mean that they aren’t getting enough
milk. Breast milk is supply and demand - your body will know it’s time to make more, and so
many babies just nurse for comfort. They need you, mama.
💛
3- Take care of your breasts. Coconut oil and lanolin may become your new BFFs.
💛
4- SNACKS. Keep snacks everywhere. Especially snacks that boost milk supply: anything with oatmeal, flax and chia are GREAT!
💛
5- Give yourself grace. Do you need to supplement? You're doing everything you need to feed your baby, you're doing a great job!! Is breastfeeding not "worth it" to you anymore? You need to take care of yourSELF, mama.
