Breastfeeding preparation

If you have decided you want to breastfeed or are looking for more information to make a feeding plan, you’re in the right place. Whether you’re a month into your pregnancy or a month ahead of your expected due date, there are many things that you can do to get ready, informed, and supported for breastfeeding.

A few things to consider during this preparation are:

  • Understanding the benefits of breastfeeding for you and your baby
  • Learning the basics of breastfeeding a newborn and what to expect
  • Getting your breast pump
  • Choosing a local lactation specialist 
  • Planning for skin-to-skin contact after you give birth to your baby, and learning about other hospital practices that can help support you
