Other breastfeeding tips we forgot to mention:
- You can prime your nipples before the baby arrives by applying nipple cream (Lanolin and other brands make this cream) this helped us both to prevent them from getting chapped and cracked. You can keep using this cream after the baby arrives too.
- When you fly on airplanes nursing during take off and landing is a great way to keep your baby's ears from hurting.
- When you nurse in public don't worry too much about what other people are thinking. Just feed your baby like the boss mama you are.
- If nursing isn't your jam and instead you are a formula feeding mama then know we are cheering you on! Feeding your baby is a huge job no matter how you do it!
- If your new baby is getting a tummy ache after nursing try Gripe Water or Gas Drops they are available at most convenient stores.
- There is lots of content online about storing your breast milk once you pump so go ahead and google it to find out how long it can last. I think frozen breast milk is good for up to 6 months.

Thank you so much for watching!
