What You Can Do Now for Breastfeeding Success:
Get Support!
- Ask your provider if your hospital offers lactation support. If they don’t, make a back-up plan with a lactation consultant to get in-hospital support.
- Take a breastfeeding class through a hospital or online.
- Consider hiring a postpartum doula who can provide at-home breastfeeding and infant care.
- Find out if your hospital is a designated baby-friendly facility. Baby-friendly hospitals have a higher success rate of breastfeeding initiation and duration because their providers and nurses are trained in evidence-based ways to support breastfeeding the moment you give birth.
- If you get your pump delivered while you’re still pregnant, bring it with you to the hospital.
- Pack a few Nunona Mama Ball sleeves in your hospital bag as they are a convenient and tasty snack, providing at least 10% of your daily macronutrient requirements per serving.
