Human milk for human babies; it will provide the best possible protection for their immature immune systems. And if you have extra milk, either donate it or sneak it into the applesauce you are giving to your toddler.

When a pandemic prevents play dates, innovative kids create their own! But whole grapes are a big choking hazard, even for teddy bear friends.

This is a very common visual that is used frequently when teaching about a baby's first 2 days of life. It's also common for pretty much everyone involved in the care of a brand new baby to forget this visual and worry incessantly about baby not getting enough. Hold your baby skin to skin as often as possible in the first 2 days and he or she will tell you when they are hungry. They will bob their head around, suck on their fingers and lick their lips. Keep in mind that we have been overfeeding our babies for decades and we now have all the health issues that go along with that practice. Break the overfeeding cycle and just watch your baby for feeding cues. Try very hard not to force feed.

Paced bottle feeding is the best way to give your breastfeeding baby a bottle. Wait until baby is 3 or 4 weeks old and breastfeeding is well established before introducing a bottle. Just because I can sit down with a pan of brownies and eat every single one, doesn't mean I was starving. OK, so that analogy doesn't really work (brownies are awesome), but just remember that we have been overfeeding our babies in this country for decades and our poor health and obesity is the result. You have the power to break this cycle!

Many breast/chest feeding journies are derailed in the very beginning, while still in the hospital. Make sure to do your research, take a prenatal lactation class and be prepared. Most of the time, supplemental feedings are completely unnecessary.

Your child knows no other world but you when they are born. Hold them close and respond to their need for human contact while they learn about this scary outside world.

Keep your baby skin to skin as often as possible in the first few weeks of life, especially in the hospital. Hospitals are bright, loud and scary for a newborn. Hold them close to help with their transition to life outside the womb. Time with you, chest to chest, skin to skin will help your baby feel safe.

Wow! Amazing!!
