Pretty much all you have to do for a newborn is keep them fed and growing. It's nature, so it should be easy... right?
Well, it's complicated...
Your hosts have dedicated an entire two-part episode to the process that is feeding a newborn. In this, the first part, we discuss:
-How much your newborn infant needs to eat, and how often.
-How to know your infant is getting enough, in the first few days of life.
-When might you need to supplement?
-I want to breastfeed, but is formula okay, if my baby needs it? (Hint: You do what's best for you and your baby!)
-Expecting that your newborn baby knows exactly what to do for feeding, but maybe not yet how to do it well...
-When to pump, and when to offer pacifiers.
-"Nipple confusion" and whether or not it is actually a real thing...
-When the baby relies on you for nutrition, make sure you have as much help and support as possible for everything else!
Want to hear more specifically about the formula side of things? Stay tuned! More on that in Part 2!
But don't worry, you got this!
