Thinking about how you will feed your baby is a big and exciting part of your pregnancy journey. Making the choice to breastfeed starts long before your little one arrives in your arms. Learning a bit about what to expect during those first few days after birth can help you feel confident and prepared. Your body starts making a special, rich milk called colostrum right away, which is exactly what your newborn needs. Reading up on the basics now lets you focus on bonding and resting once your sweet baby is finally here.
