Tiny Tums Breastfeeding Teaching Aid

The Tiny Tums teaching aid is a simple yet effective resource for demonstrating the size of a newborn’s stomach during the first days and weeks of life. Designed for use by midwives, lactation consultants, childbirth educators, and prenatal instructors, it helps parents understand why newborns need to feed frequently in the early postpartum period.

By visually showing the progression of stomach size—from a marble on Day 1 to a golf ball by Day 10—Tiny Tums reassures new families and supports breastfeeding education. This engaging tool is ideal for prenatal classes, postpartum consultations, and community health programs.
