This comprehensive guide walks you through the first two weeks of breastfeeding—when your body, your baby, and your milk supply are all adjusting quickly and questions can feel endless.
Learn what to expect from the first feed through your milk coming in, including colostrum, newborn feeding cues, latch and positioning, cluster feeding, establishing milk supply, normal weight loss, wet and dirty diapers, engorgement, sore nipples, pumping, supplementation, and how to know whether your baby is getting enough. You’ll also learn what’s normal during those early days, what may be a sign that you need extra support, and when to reach out to an IBCLC or your baby’s healthcare provider.
Evidence-based, reassuring guidance for those tender first two weeks—so you can spend less time wondering if everything is normal and more time getting to know your baby.
