24.01.2022 Breastmilk is amazing! #FunFactFriday #abagladstone #abaishereforyou

24.01.2022 Because breastmilk is easily digested, it is common for breastfed babies to feed 812 times in a 24-hour period. This usually means that your baby will breastfeed on average every 23 hours around the clock (day and night), with possibly one longer stretch (eg up to about 5 hours) between feeds somewhere in a 24-hour period. The length of time between feeds can vary greatly from baby to baby. The time between feeds is from the beginning of the last feed, not the end. Newborns also tend to have periods each day where they feed very frequently for a few hours (cluster feeds). Often these cluster feeding periods are followed by a longer stretch of sleep.

11.01.2022 Writing up your case history is one way that mums can help ABA support other mums. ABA's Breastfeeding Information and Research (BIR) team aim to collect breastfeeding case histories to provide information on breastfeeding practice in the community and to shed light on the practical experiences of mothers especially in areas that are not well researched. We are particularly interested in hearing about any particular challenges you may have overcome. We often get asked about ...illnesses in the mother in situations where there is little/no research; this is where case studies can be helpful.
