How should you approach breastfeeding concerns in the first few days of life? As an early trainee, knowing how to give evidence-based guidance to new parents can feel overwhelming. In this episode, we walk through a structured approach to evaluating newborn feeding difficulties. You’ll learn how to assess whether an infant appears well, perform a thorough feeding evaluation, and tailor your guidance to align with the family’s goals. We also review key concepts in lactation physiology, identify red flags for delayed milk production, and discuss when and how to consider supplementation. Join us to build a strong foundation for supporting families in one of the most important aspects of newborn care.
