22.01.2022 At times when access to scales and weigh-ins is limited, it's vital that we know our babies are getting enough to eat. I tried to put together something that ma...kes this knowledge a little more easily accessible! Of course there are nuances, and of course things such as looking at baby's behaviour can be problematic, but these are clues that help to create the whole picture. In addition to this, here are some other signs that your baby needs more milk: They pee less than 6 times in 24 hours. The pee is dark yellow and strong-smelling. They poos less than twice a day Poos are thick, hard, or not yellow. They are consistently very unsettled after feeding (not only in the evenings). This may be caused by other things, but can be seen as one piece of the puzzle. Your nipple looks flattened or pinched after feeds, perhaps with blisters or cracks, or maybe discoloured to white or purple. Some babies, when trying to get more milk, will pull at the nipple and whimper while latched, and will use their fists to bang your breasts. If you have worries about your milk supply, get in contact with your lactation consultant. Lactation consultants will ALWAYS ensure your baby gets enough to eat, while maintaining and protecting breastfeeding.

20.01.2022 This is great information!

19.01.2022 If you have been diagnosed with or are suspected of having a respiratory virus (including COVID-19), it is important to continue breastfeeding, to ensure your b...aby is protected by the antibodies in your breastmilk. Respiratory viruses are not transmitted through breastmilk. To reduce the risk of giving the virus to your baby, those who spend time with your baby should wash their hands frequently and cover their mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. #coronavirus #covid19 #breastfeeding

17.01.2022 "Newborns have tiny tummies and need to feed frequently. It is common for a young baby to need 8-12 breastfeeds or more in 24 hours. The good news is that fe...eding frequently in the early days helps make sure you have a good milk supply. Your supply meets your baby’s needs if you breastfeed your baby whenever they seem hungry or fussy.

17.01.2022 Ooh I love this!

17.01.2022 FEEDING ON DEMAND. Yep. I used cereal and blueberries to see the difference between expectations and reality of many breastfeeding moms. . . inspo from @latc...h.ie . . Were you told your baby should breastfeed every 2-3 hours? I was. Did you know that only came from figuring out how often feeding was needed for a baby to feed 8-12 times in a 24 hour period... . . So yes we APPROXIMATELY would like babies to feed AT LEAST 8-12 times, but the way it all plays out in a 24 hour period is very different for each baby. . . Reality: babies feed like the blueberries. Lots of feedings. Some small. Some big. Some close together. Some far apart. . . Babies do not feed like clockwork where every cereal (ahem.. feed) is spaced equally apart and the same size. You can relax if your otherwise healthy baby goes longer than 3 hours between a feed. You don’t need to think you can’t still be hungry and delay a feed if they are showing signs they want to feed earlier than 2 hours. . . Listen to your baby. Trust your instincts. Let go of the cookie cutter ideal and develop your own relationship that works for you and your baby. . . Do you feed on demand? What works for you and your baby? . . #breastfeedingondemand #babyfeeding #breastfeedingmom #breastfeedingdietitian #thebreastfeedingdietitian #breastisnormal #momlife #sahmomlife #breastfeedingproblems #breastfeedingjourney #normalizebreastfeeding #whatifeedmybaby #breastfeedingmama #exclusivelypumping #expectationvsreality See more

16.01.2022 Notice for families in Northern and Eastern suburbs of Melbourne Given the advice from Yarra Valley Water, if you live in the areas listed please consider the r...ecommendation to boil water not only for any formula preparation, but also in the context of the cleaning of your feeding and breast pump equipment and when bathing your baby or young child who may accidentally swallow some water. If you need any breastfeeding support please call the Breastfeeding Helpline on 1800 686 268 You can check if your suburb is affected through the Yarra Valley Water page and for any emergency updates please check the Vic Emergency page.

14.01.2022 WHAT DOES STORAGE CAPACITY MEAN? Your milk storage capacity tells you *how long* you can likely go between feeds/pumps, not *how much* milk you make. . . I bust...ed out the grapes again to help explain this thanks to the post inspo from @aloha.nutrition. Your milk-making sacs are like grapes! . . The SIZE and NUMBER of grapes decide how much milk your grapes can HOLD. . . How FULL or EMPTY the grapes are decides how much milk your grapes will MAKE. . . The two are connected: a smaller grape has a smaller window of sending signals to make milk. A larger grape has a larger window of sending signals. . . So then storage capacity can affect the TIME between feeds (or pumps!) to MAINTAIN supply. What does this mean for your baby? . . When you have less grapes, or small grapes, your baby will likely cue to feed more frequently and be more likely to take both sides. . . When you have more grapes, or large grapes, your baby will likely cue to feed less frequently and be more likely to take one side. . . This is why some moms’ supply is not affected by longer feeding intervals than other moms’. . . So do you need to know how many milk making sacs you have and how big they are to know how frequently you should feed your baby!? NOPE. . . Your baby knows how much milk they get and they know how much they need. They will cue your body to make as much milk as they need with however many grapes they are working with . . You and your baby got this mama.

10.01.2022 I love everything about this! Do you position yourself this way? Biological Nursing (otherwise known as laid-back breastfeeding) is the most natural way to allow your baby to self attach, and helps them to achieve a deep latch. Perfect

03.01.2022 It's a long journey to become an IBCLC lactation consultant, and that's no bad thing! It's the highest level of lactation care so definitely shouldn't be somet...hing you can obtain easily. It's a huge amount of advanced learning both in study form and in practice. IBCLC is a protected term, meaning not just anyone can say they are one as they could with Breastfeeding Specialist for example. IBCLCs are highly trained in the clinical management of all areas of lactation, and work within a code of ethics and a scope of practice. There are several pathways you can take to becoming an IBCLC, and it can be a bit complex. There are some great facebook groups for people looking to gain this qualification, but if it's of interest of you, expect it to be several years to get there, and financial investment too. Commitment and determination are definitely needed, but my word it's worth it! #IBCLC #lactationconsultant #highlyqualified #lactation #training #qualifications #breastfeedingsupport
