About a week ago, I gave birth to a baby girl named Amina. Though, I successfully breastfed my two older daughters, I realized that I had forgotten some of the information about breastfeeding newborns in the early weeks. So, I headed over to my favorite online resource for breastfeeding information, Kellymom.com. This website was created by an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant to provide support and evidence -based information on breastfeeding and parenting. As a mother, I have used this website most often to answer my breastfeeding questions and concerns. I also frequent their forum and/or free handouts section for further support and information. Here is their simple, yet informative article on what to expect in the first few weeks of breastfeeding.
