breastfeeding

You're already on the right track by thinking about breastfeeding at 24 weeks! To help prepare for milk production, it’s great to focus on staying hydrated, eating nutritious foods, and getting enough rest. Some moms also start doing gentle breast massage or nipple stimulation (with advice from your doctor) to get the body ready. But don't stress too much — your body will naturally start producing milk after birth, especially once the placenta is delivered. Colostrum, which is the first milk, is actually already being made and is super rich for baby. Just make sure to breastfeed as soon as baby is born, and that will really help jumpstart your milk supply!
