Baby is Growing & Changing

 
  • These "bumps" can cause babies to be distracted at the breast, to become fussy, or to wake up more often at night. These changes ARE NOT a breastfeeding problem.

  • Instead, these changes are a GOOD SIGN! They prove your baby is developing normally.

  • The "Roadmap to Breastfeeding Success" graphic helps you know what to expect and offers tips on how to carry on for a few days as your baby becomes more capable and engaged with the world around her!

  • One of the most important Bumps in the Road for new mothers is returning to work.

  • Many women feel their priorities have shifted and are ambivalent about returning to work

  • Others are eager to return to work but anxious about leaving their baby

  • Such confusion and ambivalence are expected and NOT a sign of lack of attachment to your baby

  • Talk to other working, breastfeeding mothers and fine tune your pumping plans
