Cereal and blueberries for the win!
In the hospital we encourage moms to breastfeed every 2-3 hours to nourish the baby and bring in a good future milk supply.
It’s math: 8-12 feeds in 24 hours (ideal) = nursing every 2-3 hours 📚📈
It’s a quick and easy way to get the message across that this baby needs to eat, and often.
Unfortunately, new parents seem think breastfeeding is going to be like the first picture (cereal)...all the feeds perfectly spaced out and all the same size. Every 2-3 hours. Easy. And the baby will sleep like an angel in between....
THIS IS NOT REALITY. In reality, your sweet newborn baby will have good feeds, short feeds, sleepy feeds, crappy feeds, and everything in between!
The visual of the blueberries is amazing because it shows how realistically feedings are at all different times and different lengths (bigger blueberries ☺️). And did you count the berries?!? More than enough!
Yes, we want you to nurse every 2-3 hours, but the baby calls the shots. Less watching the clock ⏰ and more watching for feeding cues 👶🏻 😃

Delaying bathing does several things: 1) Helps maintain infants’ temperature, 2) Facilities better breastfeeding practices, 3) Increases the micro biome.

Recent research has shown that delaying the first bath after birth can have significant impact on the newborn transition and early breastfeeding. Because of this, we encourage parents and care providers to look at delaying the first bath as an option. http://icea.me/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/ICEA-Position-Paper-Delayed-Bathing-PP.pdf
