breastfeeding

It’s great that you’re thinking ahead! At 24 weeks, your body is already preparing to produce milk, so you don’t need to worry too much about actively ‘getting’ milk yet. What helps a lot is making sure you’re eating well and staying hydrated. Once baby is born, frequent nursing is key to establishing a good milk supply — the more baby nurses, the more milk your body will produce. If you're considering pumping before baby arrives, some moms try hand expression or using a breast pump after birth, but your body’s natural response to baby’s feeding is really the best way to prepare!
