Many new moms feel discouraged when they attempt to breast feed and aren’t producing sufficient milk right away. Don’t give up! It can take up 7-10 days. If you still do not produce much milk, you can breast-feed as much as you can and supplement the rest. ♥ WHO recommends that breast-feeding begins within an hour of birth, and that the baby is ideally breast-fed on demand to encourage a good supply of milk. ♥ Many hospitals and clinics offer classes to women to learn to breast-feed. . ♥ Less than half of women who breast-feed their baby from birth continue to do so until six months (even though it’s recommended to nurse your baby for 12 months for the greatest benefits) . ♥ Those who choose to or have to formula feed should be aware of the quality of water used to mix the formula, and should not “stretch the supply” of formula by using less formula and diluting with more water (it can lead to malnutrition).
