🍼 PSA: Pumping and bottle feeding ARE breastfeeding.
In honor of World Breastfeeding Week, I have teamed up with Boon to share what I wish I knew about breastfeeding as a first time mom.
I let so many let downs go my first time nursing, and the milk collector I used to have got knocked off by baby kicks constantly! I used the Boon Trove Milk Collector this time around and not only did I collect all the let downs, baby didn’t kick it off! And when I set it down on the counter it didn’t fall over spilling all my milk 👏
I have been consistent with offering a bottle this time to limit bottle refusal, and we have been using Boon Nursh Bottles with the Curve ni**le, as it has a narrow slope and has slow-flow ni**les. From newborn to now, I feed my baby in the same position that she is when nursing: side lying! This helps her regulate the flow and helps me pace her, too.
Remember that however breastmilk is getting into your baby- it is breastfeeding! You’re doing such a great job and every drop counts.
➡️Type “BF” and I’ll send you a link to my favorite milk collectors and bottles and links to our free breastfeeding resources, too!
