25.01.2022 Every day amazing breastmilk!

24.01.2022 Heres a great video that explains how to breastfeed while lying down https://www.facebook.com/EveryChildWales/posts/1602748179908015

24.01.2022 Such important information for breastfeeding families.

23.01.2022 Just like feet, breasts come in a variety of shapes and sizes! Breasts are made up of glandular (milk producing) tissue and adipose (fat) tissue; it is not possible to judge a womans capacity to produce milk just by breast appearance. A small number of women may have anatomical limitations that reduce the ability to make lots of milk for their baby. If you are pregnant and any of the following apply to you: - you have always felt that your breasts are quite different to othe...rs - your breasts are very obviously asymmetrical - history of breast +/- nipple surgery - breasts have a tubular appearance (slender or relaxed as per article below) - a wide space (4cm or more) between the breasts - no changes to your breast size or density in pregnancy it can be useful to meet with a lactation consultant early in your last trimester of pregnancy to review your situation and plan for getting breastfeeding off to a great start.

23.01.2022 If you just arent feeling right, heres some helpful information to help you decide when its time to reach out for support.

22.01.2022 Are you a breastfeeding mum returning to work during COVID-19? Help us to understand the impacts COVID-19 has on breastfeeding. Please consider participating in... this research study, which involves taking a 15 minute survey. Many thanks! https://redcap.link/returntoworkduringCOVID-19

22.01.2022 Milk production works on the principle of supply=demand As long as milk is regularly being removed the breasts they will continue to produce milk. If you have concerns about your milk supply try feeding your baby more often and please talk with a peer breastfeeding counsellor, IBCLC or a family doctor that knows a lot about breastfeeding. There are many recommended supplements and foods that are claimed to increase milk supply but little scientific evidence to support their use. (picture credit Sarah Lawrence for Vox)

21.01.2022 Mothering; the most challenging, beautiful, tiring and rewarding job in the world!

21.01.2022 While the early weeks of breastfeeding can be quite tricky for some families, it is a great investment!

20.01.2022 Here's a great video that explains how to breastfeed while lying down https://www.facebook.com/EveryChildWales/posts/1602748179908015

19.01.2022 Gorgeous but atypical photos like this give us unrealistic ideas about how babies sleep. Feel free to post a photo of your sleeping baby in the comments below to share with other mums how real babies sleep!

19.01.2022 Newborn babies, and especially those born a few weeks before their due date often have only short bursts of sucking at the breast before becoming sleepy. It is important to give the baby lots of opportunities to breastfeed - feeding up to 16 times per day can be normal! As babies become more mature in the first 4 - 6 weeks, they suck for longer bursts and take shorter pauses during the feed. Frequent short feeds are normal in the first month or so. If you are concerned about your babys feeding pattern or if your breasts dont feel softer after most feeds, please talk with your lactation consultant.

19.01.2022 "What is the best probiotic for my baby?" While various commercially available probiotic strains have become popular as a treatment for babys wind, colic or tummy pain, there is no clear evidence that any of these are useful in managing "functional abdominal pain." Breast milk is rich in Bifidobacterium breve, a probiotic that colonises the babys gut, has antibacterial properties and stimulates the babys immune system. The best probiotic for your baby is your breast milk! (Vanderplas & Savino. 2019. Probotics and prebiotics in pediatrics; what is new? Nutrients 11(2).)

19.01.2022 The groups new online study, to help us understand the impact of the covid pandemic so we can better support mothers. If you know anyone that is currently breastfeeding a baby under 7 months of age, please share Many thanks!... Professor Donna Geddes https://redcap.link/uwa.covid19.wellbeing

18.01.2022 Babies learn about flavour from the time they are born. A breastfed baby will be exposed to a range of tastes as the flavours of his mothers milk is subtly influenced by her diet. Breastfeeding mums can enjoy a wide variety of foods, including spices and herbs, knowing that it will help their babies be more accepting of new foods when being introduced to family foods.

18.01.2022 It can take time for a mum to feel confident in breastfeeding her baby. Once it is all going smoothly, you really can breastfeed anywhere.

18.01.2022 Breastfeeding at night is smart! Human milk has much higher levels of melatonin at night than during the day, and is not detectable in infant formula. Melatonin helps babies to sleep longer at night, and relaxes the smooth muscle of the intestine, leading to a more settled baby. Ref: Englar et al, 2012. Breastfeeding May Improve Nocturnal Sleep and Reduce Infantile Colic: Potential Role of Breast Milk Melatonin. doi: 10.1007/s00431-011-1659-3

17.01.2022 Australians are in a relatively safe place right now, but for many others there are reasons for concern. Thankfully breastfeeding continues to provide protection for our babies. We know that children are at relatively low risk of COVID-19, but are at high risk of numerous other diseases and conditions that breastfeeding prevents...Based on the available evidence, WHOs advice is that the benefits of breastfeeding outweigh any potential risks of transmission of COVID-19 WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus

17.01.2022 Most of all, your children will remember how you made them feel.

16.01.2022 Have you ever wondered why young babies fall asleep on the breast so easily? Suckling on the breast releases a hormone (cholecystokinin) in both mother and baby. It typically helps mothers to feel more relaxed, and makes babies sleepy. In newborns it peaks ~10 mins after starting a breastfeed, and surges again 30-60 min later. We are naturally designed to feed our babies to sleep! (Uvnas-Moberg, Marchini & Winberg, 1993)

15.01.2022 Breastfeeding is especially important to the health of mothers and their babies after a pregnancy complicated by gestational diabetes.

13.01.2022 Here you can read about the great advances being made in prevention of preterm birth, and why it is important for babies to be born as close to their due date as possible. https://wirf.com.au//The-Whole-Nine-Months-Magazine-2020_r

13.01.2022 Many parents worry that their baby is struggling with wind or tummy pains. This article is really helpful. "...for the vast majority of babies, the discomfort they display with their normal gut function, is not pathological. It is a combination of their immature nervous system, and the fact that their sympathetic nervous system activation creates more gut activity. This improves with time, and before then, we can help dial down their guts by offering a feed or stepping outside."

12.01.2022 Breastfeeding is so much more than food for a baby https://thecorrespondent.com//human-/78369855696-06fd232d

12.01.2022 Breastfeeding is important to maternal health as it reduces risks of diabetes, high blood pressure and some types of cancer. However breastfeeding can be complicated when a mother has certain health conditions that can affect milk production. For women with complications such as gestational diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), impaired fertility, obesity or a history of breast surgery a consultation during pregnancy with an IBCLC or doctor with specialist lactation knowledge can help to plan for optimising milk supply in the days after birth.

10.01.2022 Having been continuously cuddled for 9 months in the womb, it sure must get lonely in that cot sometimes.

10.01.2022 "You cant pour from an empty cup." Be sure to make time for yourself.

09.01.2022 Newborn babies benefit from lots of time at the breast. Even though it often looks like the baby is just sleeping at the breast, the sensitive Merkel nerve cells in babys mouth are busy sensing shapes, curves and pressure. The breastfed babys amazing oral tactile memory helps them to quickly recognise and bond with their mother.

08.01.2022 Heres some exciting new findings on the impact of breastfeeding on a childs health, as discovered by researchers in Canada. The new findings are outlined in the first 3 mins of this video.

07.01.2022 Australia falls behind other countries when it comes to collecting breastfeeding data, so its hard to know the effect of the COVID pandemic on breastfeeding. How have the social restrictions and concerns re corona virus infection impacted your breastfeeding journey?
