Drip-Drop Feeding is as easy as 1-2-3

Drip-drop feeding encourages babies to suckle at the breast. It helps you produce more milk through breast-nipple stimulation and makes moving from bottle to breast easier.

Every drop of breastmilk is precious, protecting your baby against germs that can make them sick. Breastfeeding saves lives, especially during emergencies.

Motivation, determination, perseverance, and support are vital.

The breast should be a comforting and nurturing place for baby. Do not force-feed baby.

Express breastmilk, or use breastmilk from a healthy wet nurse, or donor milk. If these options aren’t available, use a breastmilk substitute (infant formula), as the last option. Drip-drop feeding takes practice, and it helps to have some assistance.
