Hi Natally, Congratulations on your little one! When my baby started solids, sweet potato puree was a hit. It's simple to make – just steam or roast sweet potatoes, then blend until smooth. Another favorite was mashed avocado mixed with a bit of breast milk. For meal prep, I'd recommend making batches and freezing in ice cube trays for easy portioning. Once frozen, transfer cubes to a labeled bag for quick access. Thaw what you need in the fridge overnight. Enjoy this exciting phase with your baby! 🫶

I also highly recommend medela! 😍

I completely understand how challenging this can be, and I want to assure you that you're not alone. I went through a similar situation when I was a new mom, and it was definitely overwhelming. Here are a few things that helped me: 1. Reach out to a lactation consultant if you haven't already. They can provide personalized advice based on your situation and help with effective breastfeeding techniques. 2. Incorporate regular pumping sessions into your routine, even if you're not able to breastfeed directly. This can help stimulate milk production. 3. Consider power pumping sessions where you pump for short intervals with breaks in between. This mimics cluster feeding and can stimulate increased milk production. 4. Some moms find success with herbal supplements like fenugreek or blessed thistle. However, it's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before trying any supplements. 5. Continue with skin-to-skin contact with your baby as much as possible. It can help stimulate the release of hormones that support lactation. Remember, every mom and baby are unique, so what works for one might not work exactly the same for another. It's essential to be patient with yourself and seek professional advice when needed. You're doing an incredible job, and it's okay to ask for help. Sending you lots of positive vibes! ❣️
