25.01.2022 An interesting read

16.01.2022 The loss of physical touch is a dramatic change for a lot of people, but particularly for those of us who are single or live alone. So... will we be OK? And what can we do to be more OK?

15.01.2022 As an experienced nipple trauma expert with over 45 years of experience as a midwife, I’ve witnessed the extreme stress mothers can go through when they experie...nce common breastfeeding complications. Painful nipple damage, mastitis and low milk volume may be associated with a lack of breastfeeding knowledge, the rapid processing of women and babies and the use of commonly taught and forceful techniques in the hospital system. Here’s the thing. The hospital system isn’t designed to be in your best interest. It’s designed for time efficiency. This push for time efficiency often means your 3 Golden Hours are likely to be interrupted by routine hospital procedures that can and should wait. What are the 3 Golden Hours? The 3 Golden Hours refer to the immediate hours after a mother gives birth. It’s so important that mothers are given these 3 hours to breastfeed their baby and form that immediate bond. Logically, this makes a lot of sense. So why does the hospital system often interrupt a mother and those 3 important hours with her newborn? At the end of the day, hospitals are businesses, they want you in and out as quickly as possible. That means routine hospital procedures like weighing, bathing and injections, which don’t need to be done immediately after birth, disrupt these 3 precious hours. The big issue with this is that it delays the first breastfeed which is so important for both mother and baby, soon after birth. When the first breastfeed is disrupted, it increases the risk of complications down the track. Listening to the many similar stories of women who were denied their 3 Golden Hours and went on to experience painful nipple trauma, is what encouraged me to complete my PhD research. During my PhD research, I developed a gentle breastfeeding approach that significantly reduced the risk of nipple pain, low milk volume & latching issues. Now, I’m hoping to share my gentle, evidence-based breastfeeding method with women all over the world in hopes of increasing breastfeeding rates (currently only 15% in the western world). I’m proud to say that my life’s work has been compiled to create The Thompson Method Breastfeeding Program and I have been able to help thousands of women empower themselves and understand their rights within the hospital system so that they can bond with their babies through breastfeeding for as long as they choose.

07.01.2022 "A total of 333 messages posted on a post-childbirth online forum were ... analysed. Seventeen different health problems were discussed on posts, with a strong emphasis on pelvic problems, followed by mental health concerns. The two main support themes were: peer to peer support (82%) and normalisation (not always appropriate) of post-childbirth problems (18%). Most of the support offered was emotional (56.9%) followed by practical (22.7%) and informational support (20.4%). ...Postpartum adjustment of post-childbirth experiences can be supportive but if ill-informed may provide a barrier to safe and reliable health care. We recommend women have access to online forums moderated by healthcare providers who can notify participants when a problem requires support from a relevant health professional opinion." https://www.sciencedirect.com//artic/pii/S1871519220302365
