Top Tips for World Breastfeeding Week

A Helping Hand to Feed Baby with Ease

Vital Baby Offers Top Tips for World Breastfeeding Week 2023

This week is World Breastfeeding Week. Running from 1st-7th August 2023, it celebrates the natural way of feeding baby and supports mums in their journey. Vital Baby understands that this can sometimes be a challenge for new mums. So, with this in mind they have come up with five tips to help you on your quest to breastfeed your baby. Embrace the joyous moments and maximise that bond for both you and your little one!

1. Get comfy!

Set yourself up in a cosy nook with cushions and blankets to keep yourself comfortable and relaxed whilst feeding baby.

2. Utilise support available!

Join breastfeeding groups in your local community, they’re a great way to connect with other breastfeeding mothers, share tips and encouragement, and receive support.

3. Be patient and persevere!

Breastfeeding can be challenging at times, especially in the beginning. Be patient with yourself and baby, practice will lead to improvement. 

4. Take care of yourself!

Prioritise self-care, healthy eating, staying hydrated and rest as much as you can. A healthy, well-nourished mum is better able to support her baby in breastfeeding.

5. Prioritise skin to skin.

Skin to skin contact is great for bonding with your baby and to support in breastfeeding. Spend time holding your baby close and building that connection.

Vital Baby have a range of products to help support all parents, no matter how they choose to feed their baby.
