Nursing Mothers

How can I establish a good supply of breastmilk?

Early breastfeeding is the time when the milk supply is set. Breastfeed frequently to help make lots of milk. Enjoy the time after your baby is born, and rest to regain your energy. Avoid frequent bottles when you and baby are together. Begin offering small bottle feeds when the baby is 3-4 weeks old to help the baby get used to bottles.
