Responding to your baby’s need to suck, especially in their first moments, is essential to establishing trust in your breastfeeding relationship. Your body is perfectly designed to meet all of your baby’s needs.

➜ When infants’ innate need to suck is met with the option to nurse you increase opportunities for connection, bonding, and establishing a core belief that your baby’s needs for food, safety, and comfort will consistently be met.

➜ Allowing your little one to nurse on demand instead of offering a pacifier helps you to establish your milk supply and your baby to establish their latch.
