*Breastfeeding Myths and Facts*

#1 MYTH:
Colostrum (the first thick yellowish milk) is dirty or bad for a newborn.

FACT:
Colostrum is your baby's first vaccine. It's rich in nutrients and antibodies that protect against infections and support healthy growth.

#2 MYTH:
Frequent breastfeeding means you have low milk supply.

FACT:
Newborns have tiny stomachs and need to feed often. Frequent feeding is normal and helps increase milk production.

#3 MYTH:
Breastfeeding should always be painful.

FACT:
Breastfeeding is a learned skill. While mild discomfort may occur at first, persistent pain isn't normal and may mean your baby needs a better latch.

#4 MYTH:
Waiting longer between feeds increases milk production.

FACT:
Breast milk works on supply and demand. The more often your baby feeds, the more milk your body produces.

#5 MYTH:
You should stop breastfeeding if you become sick.

FACT:
In most cases, you can continue breastfeeding. Your milk contains antibodies that help protect your baby, even when you are ill.
