E23: Day 2 of Breastfeeding

The Ordinary Doula Podcast

Ever felt overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of feeding your newborn? In the thick of those first few days postpartum, when your little one suddenly becomes a round-the-clock diner, we dissect the phenomenon of cluster feeding and its crucial role in establishing milk supply. With special guidance from an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), we reveal the secrets behind weighted feeds, offering you a clear picture of your baby's intake and easing that all-too-common worry: "Is my baby getting enough?"
As a new parent, you're not just juggling feeds; you're also handling an array of breastfeeding hurdles, from engorgement to unpredictable milk flow. That's where support, be it professional advice or a loved one's reassurance, becomes your lifeline. Our discussion extends beyond the mechanics of breastfeeding to the emotional empowerment of seeking help. We're in this together, tackling each challenge and celebrating every victory, all while equipping you with knowledge and resources, like those found at birthlearning.com. So, let's embark on this breastfeeding journey, embracing both the joys and the tribulations, and emerge stronger, wiser, and more connected with our little ones.
