Feeding

How you bottle feed is more important than the bottle you use. You should notice a rhythm – suck, swallow, breathe. Pace them by either tilting or removing the nipple every 8-10 sucks.

Each unique milk supply requires a certain number of breast stimulations (nursing or pumping) per 24 hours to maintain a steady volume of output, often working on a 3-5 day lag from the stimulation message it receives.

Many parents are asked the question “Are you breastfeeding?” It’s a close-ended question and there seems to be an underlying “right answer.”

Feed the baby by nursing or bottle eight times a day. Stimulate your breasts eight times a day. Feed the baby, protect the supply and seek help to achieve your breastfeeding goals
