So you decided that you want to breastfeed? Or maybe you’re strongly considering it? Well, you’ll need to get prepared to be set up for successful breastfeeding. Whether you’re a month into your pregnancy or a month ahead of your expected delivery date, there are things that you can do to get ready for providing your baby with the nutrients that come from breastfeeding.
A few things you’ll need to do during this preparation are:
- Understanding the benefits and best practices of breastfeeding
- Getting your breast pump
- Choosing a lactation specialist
- Informing your doctor of your breastfeeding plans to understand if there may be any challenges for you
- Planning for skin-to-skin contact directly after you deliver your baby
- Considering how you can make time for breastfeeding
