Breastfeeding – 8 things to know before you start

It is a good idea to learn a bit about breastfeeding while you are still pregnant, before your baby is born.


Of course you can’t learn it ALL—there’s a lot of on-the-job training once the new baby arrives—but it will help if you know what you can expect.


It is also helpful to know about how your body produces breastmilk, what ingredients are in breastmilk  and what role breastfeeding plays in helping you recover after the birth of your baby.


Learning about breastfeeding now, while life is relatively calm, will also help you to prepare for life with your new baby. Much of the focus in the early weeks will be on feeding (and sleeping!) so it pays to know a bit about the practical side of breastfeeding—like how often a baby feeds and for how long.
