Breastfeeding Planning Sheets

Most families start breastfeeding with hope and good intentions but without a plan, unexpected challenges can quickly feel overwhelming. The truth is, breastfeeding isn’t just about supply or latch. It’s also about preparation, support, and knowing what to do when life shifts. That’s why I created the Breastfeeding Planning Kit: a simple, guided way to prepare for every stage of your feeding journey, so you can feel confident and supported no matter what comes your way.
 
Instead of scrambling in the moment, you and your support team will have clear, written plans to guide you through hospital preferences, returning to work, pumping, weaning, and everything in between. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all checklist — it’s a set of tools that adapts to your life and your baby.
 
What’s Inside:
Reflection Exercise (PDF) → identify your values, goals, and what matters most to you in your feeding journey.
My Breastfeeding Plan (PDF) → your personalized roadmap for how you want to begin.
Hospital Breastfeeding Preferences (PDF) → communicate your wishes clearly from the very start.
Returning to Work & Pumping Plan (PDF) → take the guesswork out of balancing work and breastfeeding.
When Away From Baby Plan (PDF) → clear caregiver instructions so your baby’s feeding routine stays consistent.
Weaning Plan (PDF) → a gentle, thoughtful way to prepare for transitions.
Support Contact Sheet (PDF) → keep important numbers and resources at your fingertips.
 
Why It’s Different:
Designed by a doula with real experience supporting families through feeding transitions.
Goes beyond “tips” and gives you concrete plans and scripts for real-life situations.
Centers your goals and priorities, so your feeding journey feels intentional, not reactive.
Supports you through every stage from hospital to work, to weaning, so you’re never left unprepared.
 
Don’t just hope breastfeeding works out. Plan for it!
