👶🏻 Laid-back nursing: Let your baby rest on you, belly to belly, and allow them to root for the breast themselves. This helps slow the flow of milk into their mouth, and it’s super comfortable for both of you!
🍼 Haakaa: Collect excess milk during letdown using a Haakaa breast pump and save it for later feedings. This can help prevent your baby from getting overwhelmed by the fast flow of milk and reduce the risk of choking or spitting up.
🙌🏻 Bottom line, don’t give up! Breastfeeding gets easier for both you and your baby. In the meantime, try these tips to help you both adjust and enjoy this special bonding time together.
