In this Ask the Expert session, Emily Montaigne, IBCLC, breaks down what expectant parents need to know about breastfeeding before their baby arrives. She shares key insights on how to prepare ahead of time, what to expect in the hospital, and how to set yourself up for success in those early days. Learn about the most important first steps, how to know if things are going well, and when (or if!) you should start thinking about pumping. Whether you’re feeling confident or overwhelmed, this conversation will help you head into parenthood with knowledge and reassurance.
