Whether you are a mama who's about to start your breastfeeding journey, are currently in the thick of it, or have already breastfed a previous baby, it's always helpful to know some of the basic breastfeeding tips. We are sharing 15 that we think are the most important ones!
15 Must-Know Breastfeeding Tips
1. Breastfeed right away! Having your baby latch right after birth is one of the most important steps in a successful breastfeeding journey. Continued skin-to-skin is also very helpful.
2. Let your baby guide the way. While the pressure to breastfeed is heavy for many moms, your baby already instinctively knows what's best for them. Let them decide how often and for how long they nurse.
3. Try different positions. All babies (and mamas) are made differently. Trying a variety of nursing positions to see which ones are the best for you can be helpful. These include: cradle, cross-cradle, back-lying, side-laying and football.
4. Check for cues that show your baby is full. Hungry baby= closed tight fist, full baby= open, relaxed hand.
5. Drink LOTS of water. Breastfeeding mamas should be drinking enough water for them and the baby. A helpful habit to get into is drinking a full class of water during every nursing session.
6. Make sure you are consuming galactogogues every day! Galactogogues are nutrients that help mamas maintain a healthy milk supply. These include: oatmeal, dark leafy greens, almonds, sweet potatoes, ginger and garlic.
7. Keep your baby awake. It is important to make sure your baby isn't falling asleep while nursing. Keep them awake by tickling them, talking to them with a lively voice and wiping a wet cloth on their skin.
8. Take care of your nipples! Use a nipple cream specifically for breastfeeding (safe for babies) and wear breast shells to avoid rubbing on clothes.
9. Check your baby's latch. There are TONS of online guides to help with this. Just keep in mind the bottom of your areola should be in and your nipple should be towards the back of their mouth. Their lips should be puckered out to create a tight seal. If nursing is continuously painful, chances are baby isn't latching correctly.
10. Clogged ducts are highly likely. If you experience a clogged duct, make sure to give that particular boob extra nursing time. You can also take a hot shower and massage the clog (in the direction of your nipple). Many people find using an electric toothbrush can help as well!
11. If you drink alcohol, you don't have to pump and dump. "An adult's metabolism of alcohol is approximately 1 oz every 3 hrs, so mothers who ingest alcohol in moderate amounts can return to breastfeeding as soon as they feel neurologically normal" (Le Leche League).
12. Leaking happens. If you are breastfeeding, you will leak. It's normal! And if you don't want to cry over leaked milk, invest in a silicone breast pump or breast shells to collect the excess milk.
13. Pumping mamas- Make sure you are using the correct flange size and are switching out your pump parts every 2-3 months. Both of these tips will lead to an increase in the oz pumped.
14. You don't have to clean pump parts after every use. Put them in a gallon zip-lock bag and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
15. Don't be afraid to seek help. There are countless resources available for breastfeeding mamas. These include lactation consultants, informational websites and breastfeeding support groups.

Hello my name is Martin I first heard about Bitcoin back in 2019 through a classmate who was deep into cryptocurrency trading. At the time, I didn’t know much about Bitcoin or how it worked, but my curiosity got the better of me. After some research, I decided to take the plunge and make a small investment. I didn’t expect much at first, but as time passed, I watched in amazement as my initial investment steadily grew, eventually turning into an impressive $300,000. I was thrilled, to say the least.
However, earlier this year, I experienced a moment of panic. After attending a lively college party, I realized that my phone was missing. I had no idea where I had left it, but between the chaos and excitement of the party, it must have gotten misplaced. Losing my phone was bad enough, but what really scared me was the fact that my two-factor authentication for my Bitcoin wallet was linked to that phone. Worse still, I hadn’t properly stored any backup codes, leaving me completely locked out of my wallet. The thought of losing all that money was terrifying.
At that moment, I didn’t know what to do. I was overwhelmed and desperate to regain access to my funds. Luckily, a close friend who had gone through a similar situation recommended MALICE CYBER RECOVERY to me. I wasn’t sure if they could help, but I was willing to try anything at that point. So, I reached out to them with the hope that they could somehow help me recover access to my wallet.
To my absolute relief, MALICE CYBER RECOVERY didn’t disappoint. Their team was professional and efficient, and they assured me that even though I didn’t have my phone or the backup codes, they could still recover my wallet. After just a few weeks of working with them, they managed to restore my access completely, and my $300,000 was safe and sound. I couldn’t believe how smoothly the whole process went.
If you’re a student like me or anyone else who has lost their phone during a night out or a party, don’t lose hope. MALICE CYBER RECOVERY has the expertise to help you recover your funds, even in what seems like a hopeless situation. I’m incredibly grateful for their service and would highly recommend them to anyone facing a similar crisis.reach out to MALUCE CYBER RECOVERY VIA

Thank you so much The Exner Hacker for granting me access to my cryptocurrency wallet. If you are experiencing a similar issue or crypto scam, don’t hesitate to ask for their help. When Mr Ferdinand, my mentor, mentioned THE EXNER HACKER to me, I got paranoid, and quite scarred, as usual. You can’t blame me because, after a long search for reliable hackers without success, you are bound to cave in and just believe there exists no good hacker. I had lost access to my BTC after forgetting my seed. I contacted them at email: TheexnerhackerATprotonmailDOTcom as well as their Telegram: (PLUS)1 (917) 384‑3379. In a matter of 5 minutes, they got back to me and the retrieval process immediately commenced. In a matter of 3 hours, he had cracked the wallet and I had attained full access to my wallet. Of course, I needed to give them my goodwill token out of gratitude. Thank you sir/madam for what you are continually offering to the world. email: TheexnerhackerATprotonmailDOTcom
ICC RECOVERY SERVICE SAVED MY DAY:
Without the help of ICC RECOVERY SERVICE, I would have lost all my assets. To recover crypto assets, timed passwords and seed phrases, hacked wallets and locked vaults, all you need to do is chat with ICC RECOVERY SERVICE. I opened a case with them when the Ledger Nano X I was using as a personal vault crashed. This happened during Ledger firmware updates before certain UXTOs were pushed through the coin control and I got an error message on the UI because my Ledger services were overloaded. When I tried again, I found that my digital assets were rooted to unknown addresses and I was horrified. The mistake I made was that I did not specify the UTXO string before the network got overloaded and this was a hard lesson I had to learn the hard way. While searching back and forth, I came across several reviews and recommendations on Google and decided to contact ICC RECOVERY SERVICE. We hit it off immediately and my data was collected for further analysis. During the investigation and recovery phase, it was discovered that my assets were stored in several CEX and DEX wallets. Fortunately, all assets worth millions were recovered within two business days. I am grateful to this productive team not only for recovering my assets but also for the professionalism they showed in preventing my losses. The updates throughout the process were incredibly reassuring.
