One thing I hope this Support List doesn’t leave out is… taking care of yourself matters too. ![]()
It’s so easy to become completely focused on whether baby is eating enough, how often they’re feeding, your supply, latch, pumping, etc., that you forget your body is doing a lot too.
Something I’ve learned throughout my own breastfeeding journey is that taking care of myself is part of the process too. Keep water nearby, grab something to eat when you can, and take opportunities to rest and recharge when they come.
Breastfeeding asks a lot from us, both physically and mentally, and sometimes our own needs end up at the bottom of the list. Even the little things we do to take care of ourselves matter.
Taking care of yourself is part of taking care of your baby, too. ![]()
