18.01.2022 Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Did you know how tiny the newborn tummy really is? . Newborns commonly feed 8-12 times (or more) in 24 hours . Breastmilk production begins when the placenta is delivered - a drop in progesterone levels... . Prolactin (a hormone) helps build up milk supply . Oxytocin (another hormone) releases milk from the breasts . The let-down reflex is when the milk is released - the more your baby sucks, the more milk is removed from the breast and the more milk will be made . I struggled with feeding my first born. I've written a blog on my experience to hopefully normalise this experience for others and let mum's know that it's normal to struggle with feeding. It's really tough - BUT there is loads of support out there. . Head to the link in my bio to read all about my ups and downs when it came to breastfeeding and my tips to help with this. . How was your experience with breastfeeding? What was the hardest thing? The best thing? I'd love to hear See more

17.01.2022 Time to introduce myself! . My name is Emma and I thought I'd let you know a little bit about me! . ... I have been a Dietitian for 9 years and my favourite part about being a Dietitian is helping people. I love encouraging people to make a healthy, sustainable change. I particularly love working with pregnant mums and bubs I work at @fitwisephysio which is Centre of Excellence for Women's, Men's and Pelvic Health. I am currently studying to become a Lactation Consultant . Speaking of little ones, I have 2 little cherubs of my own - a 3 year old boy and a 1 year old girl. The best thing about parenthood? Seeing their little personalities shine through The worst? Probably the sleep deprivation . My favourite food would have to be peanut butter and salmon (not together ) and I cannot stand anchovies (sorry sis!). . As a true Melbournian I love going out for coffee and brunch I'm a bit of gym junkie but equally love a night on the couch watching the Crown . . If you have any fav cafe or brunch spots, let me know by commenting below . Looking forward to sharing the nutrition love with you all on my page! See more

15.01.2022 BREASTFEEDING TIP #4 Can you drink coffee while you're breastfeeding? All mother's rejoice. Yes. It's a yes! Here's all you need to know when it comes caffeine & breastfeeding. Fast facts:... The amount of caffeine that gets into a mother's milk is about 1% of what she consumes The caffeine level in breastmilk peaks about 60 minutes after consumption It is recommended that breastfeeding mothers do not exceed 200mg of caffeine per day Caffeine amounts in common drinks: Expresso (50ml shot) =145mg of caffeine Instant coffee (1tsp) = 60-80mg of caffeine Tea = 10-50mg of caffeine Chocolate bar (100g) = 20mg Coca cola (375ml) = 50mg In saying this, newborn babies can be sensitive to caffeine. It takes a newborn a longer time to process caffeine so it is always recommended that you monitor your baby. Some mums report that their baby becomes unhappy and sleeps poorly if she consumes too much caffeine. This will be different for every mum and bub as each person processes caffeine differently. Observation is key.

10.01.2022 BREASTFEEDING TIP #1 // Welcome to the first of the series! Every week I will be posting some tips and tricks about breastfeeding. The first series is all about strategies to increase milk production . TIP #1 Strategy - empty the breast(s) more often.... Rationale - milk is made rapidly when the breast is emptiest and slower as the breast fills with milk. Overfull breasts can cause slower milk production, so for newborns, avoid long periods (3-4 hours) without milk removal. . Comment below if you want anything covered in the series when it comes to Breastfeeding & Early Life Nutrition.

07.01.2022 BREASTFEEDING SNACKS // Breastfeeding is an energetic process. Most women will need more energy for breastfeeding than they did during pregnancy . Some of the extra energy can be used from the fat stores your body created during pregnancy . An extra ~2,000kJ per day is needed to breastfeed * this amount will vary depending on mum's milk production and many other factors ... . # What does 2,000kJ look like? A sandwich and a glass of milk. Or a sandwich plus these snacks (listed above) See more

06.01.2022 PERFECT PORRIDGE // As we all settle into another week of self-isolation & dig deep into our pantry for some meal inspo (and to avoid another trip to the supermarket), we remember a dear old friend - porridge! . Has anyone else rediscovered their love of porridge this week? Cold mornings active wear allllll day = a hot bowl of porridge. . Traditional rolled oats are packed with nutrition. They're a very good source of fibre (namely beta glucan) which helps lower your... cholesterol and improve your gut health. . Rolled oats provide long lasting energy as they are rich in slow burning carbohydrates. They are also a good source of protein & B vitamins. . A few of my favourite fruit toppings: Banana Chia Frozen / fresh berries Coconut Pear Walnuts . How do you make your morning porridge? What fruit do you add for extra, natural sweetness? See more

06.01.2022 BREASTFEEDING TIP #3 . If all other methods of increasing milk production have not worked, there are two prescription medications available that may be used to increased supply - Domperidone and Metoclopromide. . Both medications work by stimulating prolactin production. Prolactin is commonly called the "milk making hormone."... . Studies have demonstrated that these medications may increase milk production anywhere from 65-100%. . As with all medications, both medications have side effects. Before taking medication to increase your milk production, it is important to first discuss your concerns with your doctor and lactation consultant. . There are many factors that can contribute to an inadequate milk supply. Reach out to experts in the area to make sure you are getting the best, most up-to-date advice. See more

02.01.2022 CHRISTMAS EATING // 6 TIPS for 6 SLEEPS . 1Get a morning walk in to set you in good stead for the day. Can you squeeze in a 30 minute walk before you start the day? . 2Opt for fruity sparkling water. Alcohol is high in sugar and provides no nourishment. Swap your champagne for a refreshing, low sugar beverage.... . 3 Try having a mindful meal over the festive season. Mindfulness means being in the present moment with curiosity and openness. Enjoy each mouthful, minimise distractions and eat slowly. . 4Swap sweetie treaties for fresh summer fruits. Cut a smaller slice of fruit cake or pav and fill up your plate with fresh cherries & mango. . 5Make nibbles nourishing. These veggie sticks are easy to put together, tasty and healthy. Try adding radishes, carrot, cucumber & capsicums to get a whole range of nutrients. . 6Load up your plate with salad. This will help you fill up first on the healthy stuff and you'll have less room for the foods higher in calories and lower in fibre. A few favs - pear & walnut salad, rocket & parmesan salad and watermelon & feta. . Let me know below if you have any tips to add to this list? The more the merrier! See more
