#DYK most women can start #breastfeeding within 1 hour after giving birth? If you are having a hard time getting your baby to latch, know that any amount of breastfeeding is good for your baby’s health and development. Even breastfeeding for a short time is good for your baby.

The first few days after giving birth, your breasts make a thick, sticky, early form of #breastmilk called colostrum. #Colostrum has nutrients & antibodies that your baby needs in the first few days of life. It changes to breastmilk in 3 to 4 days. #NationalBreastfeedingMonth

Data on breastfeeding rates among AI/AN populations are limited. That’s why observances like #NativeBreastfeedingWeek are so important. Breastmilk helps protect babies from many illnesses & benefits moms because it may lower risk of stress & chronic health conditions. #NBM20

Having a healthy baby starts well before you get pregnant. This is called your preconception health. Part of good preconception includes making sure that your vaccinations are up to date. https://t.co/DQMmZDk22E #ivax2protect

Our vaccination chart shows which routine vaccinations are recommended before and during pregnancy. If you have a copy of your vaccination record, share it with your provider. https://t.co/CBTbfuyq0W #ivax2protect

If you’re worried that you’re not making enough breast milk, talk with a nurse or lactation consultant. Because of the #COVID19 pandemic, this will most likely be done via #telehealth, but they can guide you on how to build up your milk supply. https://t.co/MIJUaeE6FG #NBM20

Make sure your vaccinations are up to date before you get pregnant. Vaccinations can help protect you from certain infections that can harm you and your baby during pregnancy. https://t.co/KDPbcxmVqS #ivax2protect

Stress around life events like #COVID19 can temporarily interfere with your efforts to #breastfeed and your milk supply. Don’t get discouraged. Breastfeeding and pumping can help relieve some of the stress and anxiety that you are feeling. https://t.co/B9dRqcn1pr #NBM20

It’s always better to prevent a disease than to treat it after it occurs. That’s why vaccines are so important. Vaccinations protect your baby from 14 serious and potentially deadly diseases before his second birthday: https://t.co/oT6WQvNWYJ #ivax2protect

Some babies can breastfeed in the NICU, while others may need to get breast milk from a bottle or feeding tube. If your baby is too sick or has a birth defect that prevents her from #breastfeeding, you can feed her breast milk that you pump. https://t.co/vlOvpUV4tj #NBM20
