18.01.2022 Cup feeding can be used from birth. It is suitable for expressed breastmilk. You can use any clean, open cup with a smooth surface.

16.01.2022 The practice of cord burning is slow and peaceful, taking about 5 to 20 minutes rather than the fraction of a second of using scissors takes. The flames gradually cauterise the umbilical cord, an emotional journey for this beautiful Homebirth family to experience together as one. The Umbilical cord contains two arteries and a vein surrounded by protective Worton’s Jelly#coastalmidwivesandlactation #midwifelife #midwife #midwifery#midwiferycare #continuty#continutyofcare #sacred #sacredspace #holisticcare #choice#birthspace #holdingspace #honoured#homebirth#family#precious#life#newlife#love#powerful#empowerment

15.01.2022 3 years and still breastfeeding. 9 months pregnant and still breastfeeding. Why? Is it because I can’t cut the cord? NO Is it for my own needs and benefits? NO (although natural term breastfeeding does have quite a few benefits for mum... Is it because I am lazy? NO (although being able to calm a tantrum in seconds is quite amazing) Why continue to breastfeed a 3 year old who can eat other foods, drink from a cup, ask for it, has teeth, and is no longer an infant? Because breastmilk doesn’t lose its benefits with age. In fact human milk in the second year postpartum contained significantly higher concentrations of total protein, lactoferrin, lysozyme, and Immunoglobulin A, than milk bank samples, and significantly lower concentrations of zinc, calcium, iron, and oligosaccharides, (Perrin, 2016). In the second year (12-23 months), 448 mL of breastmilk provides: 29% of energy requirements 43% of protein requirements 36% of calcium requirements 75% of vitamin A requirements 76% of folate requirements 94% of vitamin B12 requirements 60% of vitamin C requirements (Dewey, 2001) Humans are also the most immature at birth and need the most intensive caregiving for the longest duration to reach maturity. In fact, a human baby would need a gestation period of 18 to 21 months instead of the usual 9 to be born at a neurological and cognitive development stage comparable to that of a chimpanzee newborn (A. Portman). Yet human parents are encouraged to wean much sooner and carry their babies much less than any other mammal. Breastfeeding continues to be important for years as the child’s brain and body slowly continue to grow. Breastmilk also provides all the immunoglobulins the immune system takes to develop, which takes around 5 years. Let’s not forget that breastfeeding is more than just food. It provides comfort, it is a 100% all-natural anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory, medicine, sleep aid, and morenot to mention an absolute amazing bonding mechanism#coastalmidwivesandlactation #ibclccertifiedlactationconsultant #ibclc #midwifelife #midwife #breastfeeding #journey#lactation #liquidgold#healthforlife#breastfeed See more

12.01.2022 Colostrum collection kits available @thelighthousecurrumbin @your_midwife Mothers start to produce colostrum while pregnant. Being able to express colostrum is a useful skill to have. Saving your expressed colostrum may also be beneficial if your baby is likely to need special care after birth. Breastmilk is a complete and perfect food for your baby. If the unexpected happens and you and your baby are separated, or if y...our baby has feeding difficulties or health problems, you will find it easier to express your milk for your baby if you have practised beforehand#lactation #ibclc #breastfeeding #liquidgold #health #handexpression #handexpressing #handexpressedmilk #humanmilkforhumanbabies Contact @your_midwife for your kit and antenatal lactation consultation See more

05.01.2022 The first few weeks of fatherhood are a whirlwind of new experiences and emotions. As a new dad, you may be surprised by just how much having a baby will change your life. It's the start of a whole new journey for you and your partner. And from the moment you first see your newborn's face, you may find yourself experiencing emotions you didn't even know were possible#coastalmidwivesandlactation #dadlife #dad #daddysgirl#love#ibclc #breastfeeding #partnership #special#support#antenatal #postnatalcare #midwife #midwifelife #ibclccertifiedlactationconsultant #fourthtrimester #goldcoast #tweed #northernrivers #care@your_midwife @thelighthouse_co @dimity_acupuncture @meaghan_amor_
