Everybody who chooses to breastfeed wants to get off to the best start possible, but did you know there are several ways to derail breastfeeding quickly?
In this episode, Sally shares the five most common obstacles to breastfeeding a typical, healthy baby that she sees in her practice as an IBCLC. We discuss the importance of knowing what’s normal in breastfeeding so you know what questions to ask of your care providers.
The top 5 obstacles we discuss in more detail are:
Assuming the baby won’t latch
Supplementing without a good medical reason
Bottle feeding before breastfeeding is established
Pumping too early (know issues of low supply vs oversupply)
Not pumping enough if baby goes to NICU
