Ready for the first milk

Colostrum is enough. Ask for skin to skin and help with the latch.

Leave with this

  • Exclusive breastfeeding for six months, unless a clinician has said otherwise.
  • Do not throw away colostrum, and do not give the baby water or herbs.
  • A hot, red, painful breast with fever needs a check. You can usually keep feeding.
