Introducing solid foods is an exciting milestone in your baby’s first year, from the joy of tasting fruit to the messy fun of yogurt. But it can feel overwhelming, especially with all the advice out there. Nest Collaborative can help make feeding time fun for your baby and stress-free for you.
Congratulations—you’re expecting another child!
By now, the first-time-parent jitters have worn off, and you think you know how you want to approach this second round of parenting… and baby feeding.
So, you find out you're expecting your next child—congratulations! Expanding your family can be a great time of joy and anticipation.
It can also be a time of questions—lots of them, ranging from big to small.
You’ve had—or are about to have—a new baby. Congratulations! It’s an exciting, world-changing experience.
We know you have a lot to wrap your head around, but we hope to make one part of your parenthood journey feel less overwhelming: breastfeeding your newborn.
Breastfeeding is wonderful in so many ways. (I know, I know, we’ve said it before! But it’s true.) And part of its beauty is that the journey is different for everybody.
Some breastfeed for years, some for just a few months, some settle on side-lying as their favorite position, while others like cross-cradle.
To help you feel confident in your breastfeeding journey (without scrolling for hours), we’ve compiled articles that answer some of the most common questions asked by breastfeeding parents.
Feeding your baby breast milk can be a time of bonding and joy. The post-milk snuggles, skin-to-skin intimacy, the sweet smell of the top of the head…even middle-of-the-night wakings to feed your baby can create a deep, one-of-a-kind connection.

As a new or expectant parent, you may know that taking certain medications isn’t recommended during pregnancy.
But what about after your baby is born?
Believe it or not, yoga, ballet, and breastfeeding all have something in common. To succeed at any of these activities, you need to learn how to position your body safely, effectively, and comfortably.

After giving birth, you may think all bets are off when it comes to your diet. While it’s true that you no longer need to avoid certain items like an afternoon cup of coffee

Breast milk is a source of more than nutrition for your baby. It’s comfort and closeness and connection to their parents as they adjust to the new world around them.
Breastfeeding is a biological process that occurs naturally, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Whether because of individual lactation issues, poor nutrition, or infant health issues, there have always been families who have struggled to make breastfeeding work.
