24.01.2022 What is the most amazing part of breastfeeding or breastmilk to you? Science is only beginning to scratch the surface of the amazing things that breastmilk can ...do! We look forward to continued research on all breastfeeding-related topics! There is no question that the benefits of mother’s own milk are extensive and include such positive outcomes as improved cognition in preterm infants and reductions in NEC. The benefits come from the immunological properties as well as the microbiome modifying nature of this source of nutrition and have been discussed many times over. #breastmilk #science See more

24.01.2022 Every baby should be checked as soon as possible after birth for Subluxation as 9/10 babies experience some form of trauma during the process of birth or shortly there after.

20.01.2022 Have you breastfed after surgery? Breastfeeding and anesthesia are generally compatible. The common suggestion to "pump and dump" for 24 hours post-surgery is ...not in line with current evidence. Generally, the mother can resume breastfeeding once she is awake, stable, and alert after anesthesia has been given. #breastfeeding #anesthesia #surgery #medications #postsurgery #pumpanddump Find a printable PDF version here: https://lllusa.org//20/05/Anesthesia-and-Breastfeeding.pdf [Image: Photo of IV hanging.

18.01.2022 In Darwin we have awesome Chiropractors and Osteopaths. Agree Maureen Obstetricians had been doing this practice for many years. With absolutely no harm to babies. I’ve seen so many babies helped by these awesome Allied Health practitioners from issues caused by forceps, vacuum, and cesarean births. I in fact myself would love to hang upside down to clunk my spine into place

17.01.2022 I try to tell mamas about the 4th trimester any chance I get! It’s such important information!

11.01.2022 That’s very funny

06.01.2022 Cluster feeding is normal! Hands up below who’s gone through this? . It normally happens in the afternoon/early evening. It is often before a baby’s growt...h spurt or neurodevelopmental leap. It can also be your body and baby’s way of establishing your breastmilk supply. . No it doesn’t mean your baby isn’t getting enough milk or your milk supply isn’t enough. . Demand feeding without scheduled feeds helps your baby to bond and to establish your milk supply. . Yes I know it’s exhausting! Especially when you have more than one child and your baby wants to cluster feed around the bewitching meal time hours! Aargh! . But please know it is normal and it isn’t forever! Your baby needs you and your milk for a number of different reasons but know that it is normal and don’t doubt yourself mama .

02.01.2022 To Aleece (? Spelt) if you rang me today just before midday. I’m sorry I’ve written your mobile number down wrong and you rang me from a private number so I can’t ring that number back. and I’ve deleted the message too from voicemail. You have a 7 week old baby you wanted to make an appointment. Thanks Cath
