One support tip I would add for moms building their feeding routine is to prepare for your own recovery, not just the baby’s arrival.
Before baby comes, think about what will help you feel comfortable while your body adjusts—easy clothes, water and snacks nearby, comfortable pumping or feeding supplies, and people who can help with everyday tasks.
After having babies, I’ve learned that taking care of yourself isn’t an extra step. It’s part of taking care of your baby, too.
Absolutely! We spend so much time preparing for baby that it’s easy to forget to prepare for ourselves. Having snacks, water, comfortable feeding supplies, and a support system within reach can make those early days so much easier. Taking care of yourself is part of taking care of baby!
