Breastfeeding is not only a beautiful bonding experience, it is also the best way to provide essential nutrients to baby. Did you know that mothers can start by preparing for this journey on the day that baby is delivered? Here are some reasons why you should start early:

• Preventing a slow start - Many mothers experience a slow start for the first few days immediately after delivery. Breastfeeding the precious colostrum can be painful and heart-wrenching when baby doesn’t get enough from you.
• Consistency is key! Ensuring that you are producing enough milk is not nearly enough as ensuring that the quality produced is thick and yummy enough to keep your baby filled
• Nursing comfortably

Having enough milk for baby helps with easing both mother and baby into the breastfeeding journey.   

Thankfully, there are some boosters in the market that can help you start strong on your breastfeeding journey.
