Adapting to New Challenges
As your baby becomes more mobile, nursing sessions may shorten or become distracted. Your milk adapts to these changes, packing more nutrients into smaller amounts.
Your breasts may feel less full, but milk production remains steady as long as you continue feeding on demand. This phase is a reminder of how breastfeeding evolves alongside your baby’s milestones.
Tips for You This Week
- Nurse in a quiet, distraction-free environment to encourage focus.
- Celebrate how breastfeeding supports your baby’s growing independence.
- Keep your sense of humor—wriggling babies are a normal part of this stage!
