01:02A supported mom equals a content baby every time.
01:06Next, nail that deep latch.
01:08Aim your nipple toward your baby's nose.
01:11Wait for their mouth to open wide.
01:12Then let them take in a big bite of areola.

02:11Store milk safely in the fridge up to four days or freeze for up to six months.
02:16Finally, fuel your body and mind.
02:18Drink water like it's going out of style.
02:20Eat balanced meals.
02:22And rest when you can.
02:23Limit caffeine to 300 mg daily, avoid high-mercury fish, and skip alcohol two hours before nursing.
02:32A well-nourished, relax-you equals a steady milk supply and a happier baby.
