When to breastfeed

Question

When my nipples start tingling is that a sign it’s time to nurse my baby?

Answer

Depends on how old your baby is but generally go by your baby’s hunger cues, and at least every 2-3 hours. If you start getting that pins and needles feeling, that’s your letdown and is a sign that you’re body needs to release milk. So yes, try either pumping or feeding if you feel that.

Feed on cues of your baby. Crying is a super late feeding cue. Look for rooting, mouth opening, and hand to mouth.
