Breastfeeding Basics
Mom’s Health
- Consume 2,200 to 2,700 calories a day to maintain a sufficient, nutritional milk supply
- Adjust daily nutritional servings to accommodate breastfeeding needs by consuming healthy, well-balanced meals rich in fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins and dairy
- keep water or fruit juice close by during feedings to counter the natural increase in thirst
Baby’s Needs
- Begin breastfeeding as soon as possible after birth
- Allow newborns to nurse whenever they show signs of hunger
- Breastfeed exclusively during baby’s first six months
- Practice latching-on and positioning to unsure the most comfortable, productive feedings for both mother and baby
- Let baby determine when the feeding is over
- After six months of exclusive breastfeeding, begin introducing solids into baby’s diet
- Begin weaning baby from breastfeeding by substituting feedings with infant formula or additional solid food, as appropriate
