This is HURTING Your Breastfeeding Journey! (5 Mistakes New Parents Make)

I love how many new parents are breastfeeding their babies, I am studying to become a lactation consultant after all. But there are 5 big mistakes I see a lot of these new parents making when they are starting out with their breastfeeding journey.

Learn about these mistakes, avoid them and have SUCCESS breastfeeding your newborn:
1. Not enough skin-to-skin with your newborn
2. Not feeding on demand but feeding on a schedule
3. Missing out on prep work
4. Thinking it should hurt!
5. Supplementing too early

This video is packed with information including cluster feeding, why our babies do it, the 9 Instinctual phases of the breastfeeding crawl, how to identify a great latch and how to trouble shoot one that's not as awesome, and more.

If you would like info on how you can increase your beast milk supply you'll find that one here:
