Demand and Supply
- Nurse your baby whenever he is hungry, even if he has eaten very recently.
- Recognize early hunger signs or cues such as bringing his hands to his mouth, making tongue or mouth movements, or searching for your breast.
- Do not give bottles or pacifiers. If baby is sucking on a pacifier, you’ll miss his early hunger signs and then you’re missing the chance to feed him and build your milk supply.
- If you have to use formula, make sure you are removing your milk with hand expression or pumping each time to keep up your milk supply.
