Planning for your birth is a familiar step for many expectant parents—but what about planning for breastfeeding? As we approach World Breastfeeding Week, we’re excited to launch a brand new resource created by Ardo and Boobingit: ‘My Breastfeeding Plan’ – a free, printable four-page tool designed to help you feel more confident and prepared for your feeding journey. Bonus: it comes with a 15% discount on our range of breast pumps!
Why Make a Breastfeeding Plan?
We often spend so much time preparing for labour and birth that we overlook what happens immediately after – like feeding your baby. Creating a breastfeeding plan while pregnant can help you:
- Understand your options
- Communicate your wishes with your care team
- Get your support system ready
- Know what to expect in those early hours and days
Just like a birth plan, your breastfeeding plan doesn’t need to be set in stone – but it’s a valuable tool to clarify your preferences and goals.
What’s Inside the ‘My Breastfeeding Plan’ Worksheet?
This simple document includes prompts for:
- Your feeding goals
- Plans for the first feed
- Support team and resources
- Expressing or pumping preferences
- Aftercare and home feeding support
It’s quick to fill in and easy to print or keep on your phone. You can complete it alone, with a partner, or with the help of your midwife or lactation consultant.
How to Get Your Free Download
The ‘My Breastfeeding Plan’ worksheet is free to download from Ardo – but we ask you to fill in a few short details first so we can provide you with helpful updates and resources throughout your feeding journey.

Created by Parents, for Parents
This resource was created by Ruth Maguire, breastfeeding expert and founder of Boobingit, in partnership with Ardo’s trusted team. It’s part of our shared commitment to helping parents feel supported, informed, and empowered—before, during, and after birth.
Let’s Plan to Succeed – Together
Breastfeeding is natural, but it’s also a skill – and every journey is different. We hope this resource helps you start your journey with confidence.
