20.01.2022 Hands on pumping (HOP) removes more milk from the breast. The more milk you remove the more you make! Mothers who incorporate hands on pumping into their expressing routine can increase their milk output by 48% according to a study by J Morton and colleagues in 2009. They looked at a group of mothers of preterm infants who were exclusively expressing for their babies. These results were found despite doing fewer sessions that the non hands on pumping group. Interestingly, the... fat content has been shown to be double when HOP is used too. The same results can be transferred to mothers of full term babies because milk production works in the same way i.e. the more you remove the more you make. A hands free pumping bra is helpful when using this technique: 1. Massage both breasts. 2. Double pump, compressing your breasts as much as you can while pumping. Continue until milk flow slows to a trickle. 3. Massage your breasts again, concentrating on areas that feel full. 4. Finish by either hand expressing your milk into the pump's nipple tunnel or single pumping, whichever yields the most milk. Either way, during this step, do intensive breast compression on each breast, moving back and forth from breast to breast several times until you've drained both breasts as fully as possible. *This entire routine took the mothers in the study an average of about 25 minutes. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19571815/ http://www.nancymohrbacher.com//to-pump-more-milk-use-hand #expressingmums #exclusivelyexpressing #handsonpumping #pumpmoremilk #HOP #melbourneLC #attachmentparenting #motherhood #melbournemums #langwarrinIBCLC #GalaxyLC #IBCLC #LC #lactationconsultant #SouthEastMelboune #Langwarrin #morningtonpeninsulamums #breastfeedingsupport #breastfeeding #breastfeedingmatters #mumma #gentleparenting #possums #NDC #OMT #breastfeedingwithallergies

You are my I love you. -Unknown #melbourneLC #attachmentparenting... #motherhood #melbournemums #langwarrinIBCLC #GalaxyLC #IBCLC #LC #lactationconsultant #SouthEastMelboune #Langwarrin #morningtonpeninsulamums #breastfeedingsupport #breastfeeding #breastfeedingmatters #mumma #gentleparenting #possums #NDC #OMT #breastfeedingwithallergies See more

04.01.2022 "Primal, physiologically normal, and wise instinctive energies are hard to submerge despite a hyper-individualistic and increasingly anxious society. Therefore, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that even in the developed world of suburban tract housing and homes with 5+ rooms, parents find themselves blissfully wrapping arms around little ones, holding them close as they breathe, and falling into a most peaceful slumber outside of occasional toddler-turns-sideways-in-bed equals kicks to the head."

03.01.2022 Henrys first taste of safe chocolate!! This is my 4 year old who has multiple non IgE food allergies! Our allergy journey started when Henry was around 6 weeks old. He was a very unsettled little person, woke every 45mins or so overnight, screamed in the car- to the point I didn’t drive places by myself because it was too distressing, I planned appointments etc for days when my mum could come with me & one of us would sit in the back holding his dummy in & trying to sooth...e him. Many times we stopped on the side of the road to feed or cuddle in the hopes of calming him enough to get home. At 4 months Henrys growth stalled, he had dropped from above the 85th percentile to below the 10th (this is significant!) & was diagnosed with ‘Failure to Thrive’ (an awful old fashion description for a child with slow or poor growth). This was the beginning of my experience with breastfeeding on an elimination diet. Dairy & soy are two of the most common allergens for Bf babies so they were the first to go, luckily I don’t really like cheese anyway except in ham & cheese toasties. Over the next 6 months I continued to eliminate foods & then discovered food chemicals with the help of a dietician. I ended up breastfeeding Henry on a 4 food total elimination diet (TED) for 2 years before we were able to start to introduce more foods. Nowadays Henry has about 20 safe foods & his tolerance for food chemicals is slowly increasing which means we can slowly expand his diet to include more vegetables & fruits & the occasional vegan, rice based chocolate! I’m proof that breastfeeding with allergy bubs is possible! I’m so happy knowing that my breastmilk has given him the best possible start to life. It hasn’t always been easy, but definitely worth it. #GalaxyLC #IBCLC #LC #lactationconsultant #SouthEastMelboune #Langwarrin #morningtonpeninsulamums #breastfeedingsupport #breastfeeding #breastfeedingmatters #mumma #gentleparenting #possums #NDC #OMT #breastfeedingwithallergies #nonIGEfoodallergies #nonIGE #foodintolerances #foodallergy
