3-6 Month Support
Your baby is not a newborn anymore
You survived the first 12 weeks of feeding a tiny human! It was chaos, messy and a constant two hour clock on repeat full of milk, laundry and no sleep. It's going to start looking different now as you transition into feeding an older baby. You may be wondering about returning to work, how to plan sleeping through the night, taking that vacation for baby to meet family, etc.
Feeding times and behaviors will change as your baby becomes more aware of their environment and wanting to explore it - you as well! Lactation support can help with this!
You'll see your baby feed on a little more predictable time clock but probably shorter feedings - not to worry, this is normal.
Let's get out and explore!
You're probably feeling physically better at this point after recovering from childbirth and gaining a few more hours of sleep. You may be thinking about a vacation before returning to work or just getting out of the house for a bit.

It's time to change sleep...and start to eat
You'll notice your baby will very likely start to change their sleeping patterns around 4 months old, and your wonderfully sleeping baby may start to wake more often at night. This is normal part of baby development and does not have anything to do with a decrease in milk or your baby not eating enough during the day. It's a tough time period and we can help you get through it - from a feeding perspective at least!
Learn some tips on how to navigate starting solid foods and breast/bottle feeding (+ pumping). How should you view the role of milk during this time? Do you breastfeed before or after offering solids? Bring caregivers along to ask questions too so everyone is on the same lactation support feeding support team!
