25.01.2022 A timely reminder about the magic of mothers milk, particularly when illness is a concern! When there is sickness close to you, handle the toys or clothes or equipment used by the sick person so that you can (after only 20 minutes in the case of airborne exposure) produce antibodies in your milk to protect your nursing infant. https://www.facebook.com/138141916336863/posts/1542520772565630/

25.01.2022 Oral dysfunction can occur as the result of the restriction of the lingual frenulum (tongue tie.) Linda is a speech pathologist with a particular interest in craniofacial disorders and oromyofunctional therapy to correct feeding, swallowing, and speech disorders. She has done a great job of showing how our soft tissues influence our occlusion. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ocr.12277

21.01.2022 A typical vaginal birth with OA presentation - was this your birth experience? What helped with your birth? . . My sons birth was unusual by modern standards.... I gave birth at a private birthing center without any medication, and spent only eight hours there from arrival to the time I took my new baby home. I enjoyed my experience greatly and wouldnt change a single thing about the labor or birth. Everybody has a different vision for how they want their birth to go. While most modern women opt for a hospital birth with an epidural, many women seek alternative options for a variety of reasons. Many women worry about the effects that pain medication has on a baby and want to remain drug-free. Others are terrified of needles or potential side effects of epidurals.

20.01.2022 Sleep training ... this well written article draws on the knowledge of experts to make some alarming findings. https://www.bellybelly.com.au/baby-sleep/cry-it-out/

20.01.2022 The "biological nurturing" position is my go-to! It is comfortable for the dyad and provides good support plus the freedom to self latch for the baby. This study found that it "significantly reduced the risk of breast problems" during the early days. https://internationalbreastfeedingjournal.biomedcentral.com

07.01.2022 What an amazingly generous gesture on the part of Maureen Minchin! She has now made her wonderful book on infant feeding and immune disorder available for free download! This is vitally important reading for anyone working with perinatal women or deliberating over infant feeding methods. https://www.facebook.com/100003989387130/posts/1808372752639020/

06.01.2022 Spouts on food containers and sippy style cups are known to be detrimental to optimal orofacial development. Another factor is the failure to provide food that requires chewing. This article takes a look at how baby food may have an impact on speech and jaw development: http://www.irishexaminer.com//baby-foods-a-key-cause-in-ch

06.01.2022 This short statement from ILCA regarding COVID-19 vaccines offers little comfort for lactating women but hopefully some clear data will we available soon. What can we tell clients about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy and lactation? "First, it is important to remind families that much of the information we need to make decisions is still forthcoming. ... You may also provide them with guidance on what we know so far: Overall safety considerations for pregnancy and for lactation may be different and should be considered separately. Just as distribution of the vaccine happens locally, safety approval also is guided by local regulatory processes, typically at the national level. These safety approval processes include a review of the outcomes of clinical trials. However, phase three clinical trials, which test vaccines for efficacy and safety, have not yet been conducted on people who are pregnant or lactating. While additional data are on the way, in the short term, guidelines from different countries are likely to be conflicting as each region weighs the balance of limited evidence with a vaccine for a novel virus against their knowledge of the protective benefits of lactation. We know that further information is critical for healthcare workers and essential workers who are also lactating. (See this op ed for context in the US setting.) ILCA will share more information as it becomes available."

05.01.2022 Often baby's head has moved a little too far towards mum's underarm so by moving baby back, a more comfortable latch can be achieved. Just one centimeter or two can make the difference! https://www.facebook.com/100050350425786/posts/245108927177453/

05.01.2022 This is a good explanation!

01.01.2022 Really looking forward to this great two day Symposium on Tongue -Tie! Ties often go undetected in hospital and it is not until we see a dyad struggling to meet breastfeeding goals, weeks and even months later, that assistance can be offered.
