Prevent The Perception Of Low Milk Supply

One of the top reasons exclusive breast/chestfeeding is unsuccessful in the early weeks is the perception of low milk supply by the lactating person.  True low milk supply is possible, but commonly not the case.  So how do you prevent the perception of low milk supply?  Prenatal breast/chestfeeding education is literally a golden key to navigating those early weeks of establishing supply and knowing if your baby is getting enough.  The Your Best Start Prenatal education session provides you with information to encourage you to trust the process.  Like any other biological process, lactation goes through a process which actually starts during pregnancy around 16 weeks gestation.

Once you’re educated on the normal processes of lactation and how your body is expected to respond, feeding your infant on demand at the breast/chest will provide your body all of the appropriate signals needed to calibrate your milk supply to your baby’s needs.  

Invite your family to our prenatal education session!  Being informed and educated is not just for the lactating parent.  Family members will need to know how to help support a lactating parent and to recognize infant behaviors associated with infant feeding.
