One support tip I would add for a new or even seasoned mom is… don’t compare your baby to another. Whether it’s the baby next door, a baby in your due date group, or even their own sibling. Don’t compare milestones. Every baby is different and unique. While one baby may talk before their one, another might not talk until 15 months. One baby might roll at 3 months, and one might not roll until 6 months. But it doesn’t mean they’re behind or struggling. It means they’re their own person and learning at their own pace. THIS INCLUDES YOUR BREASTFEEDING JOURNEY!! Not everyone is, will be or even CAN be an over supplier. Not every mom or even every baby is the same. You could be an over supplier for one baby and a just enougher or even an under supplier for the next. Everyone’s journey is different. What matters is your baby is fed, happy, and healthy. Whatever that looks like. Whether it’s breast feeding, bottle feeding, combo feeding, fortifying your breastmilk, or even formula feeding. A fed baby is a happy baby. That’s what matters most. Always follow your instinct and your gut, but don’t follow someone else’s. Everyone’s journey is their own. Enjoy it. Don’t compare it. ![IMG_4373](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/momcozy/original/2X/f/f11160efc478098f5ec729910078a88ab51c6b22.jpeg) ![IMG_4403](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/momcozy/original/2X/1/14da8d7baf3721adee92cd9ea300f47ea202b11a.jpeg) ---
