How We Assist New Mothers with Feeding
Bringing a newborn home is a beautiful experience, but feeding—whether by breast or bottle—often brings its own set of challenges. Many new mothers worry if their baby is getting enough nourishment, struggle with latching, or feel overwhelmed by the constant feeding schedules. At Tender Luv Nuborn Care, we understand how important this stage is, not just for your baby’s growth, but also for your confidence as a parent.
Our goal is to provide compassionate, hands-on postpartum doula support so you feel equipped, informed, and reassured every step of the way.
Breastfeeding Support
Breastfeeding is natural, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy. Every baby and mother pair is unique, and sometimes both need guidance to get started on the right track.
Here’s how we help with breastfeeding support:
Positioning Guidance: We show you comfortable positions for both you and your baby to make feeding smoother and less stressful.
Latching Assistance: Proper latching ensures your baby feeds effectively and reduces discomfort for you. We guide you step by step until it feels natural.
Reading Feeding Cues: Babies communicate when they’re hungry in subtle ways. We teach you how to recognize those cues early, helping prevent fussiness and stress.
Encouragement & Confidence: Feeding challenges can sometimes feel discouraging. We offer reassurance and ongoing support so you don’t feel alone.
Bottle-Feeding Support
For families who bottle-feed, whether with formula, pumped milk, or a combination, we provide just as much care and guidance to make the process safe and nurturing.
Our bottle-feeding support includes:
Safe Preparation: We help you learn best practices for preparing bottles safely and hygienically.
Paced Feeding: Babies can feed too quickly or too slowly from a bottle. We demonstrate pacing techniques that mimic the natural rhythm of breastfeeding, supporting digestion and comfort.
Bonding While Feeding: Feeding isn’t just about nutrition—it’s also about connection. We encourage skin-to-skin contact, eye contact, and soothing practices to strengthen your bond with your baby during feeding time.
Why Feeding Support Matters
Whether breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, or a combination of both, feeding is one of the most important aspects of your baby’s early life. With the right guidance, you can:
Reduce stress and frustration during feeding sessions
Build confidence in your ability to nourish your baby
Strengthen the emotional bond between you and your newborn
Ensure your baby is developing healthy feeding patterns from the start
