The weeks after birth, often called the fourth trimester, are a time of incredible transition. Your body is healing, your baby is adjusting to life outside the womb, and both of you are learning the rhythms of feeding, sleep, and connection. While this stage is beautiful, it can also be overwhelming. That’s why a strong, supportive network is not just helpful: it’s essential.
During Black Breastfeeding Week, August 25-31 2025, we celebrate not only the strength and dedication of Black mothers but also the community, resources, and tools that make breastfeeding success possible. Studies show that having consistent support from family, friends, healthcare providers, and trusted resources can greatly increase breastfeeding confidence and longevity.
Why Support Matters in the Fourth Trimester
Breastfeeding is not a solo journey. It’s a team effort that thrives on encouragement, guidance, and reassurance. A supportive network can help you:
-
Troubleshoot latch or feeding concerns
-
Track baby’s growth and well-being between doctor visits
-
Stay nourished and energized for the demands of round-the-clock feeding
-
Feel confident in your choices and connected to others who understand your experience
How Woddle Helps Breastfeeding Moms
One of the most important signs your baby is getting enough milk is steady, healthy weight gain. With the Woddle Smart Changing Pad, you can track your baby’s weight with precision right from your nursery. Woddle’s app integrates these measurements seamlessly, so you can see patterns, share updates with your healthcare provider, and feel confident in your baby’s progress between checkups. For breastfeeding parents, this peace of mind is priceless.
