AAB 241 Weight loss and breastfed babies Jan 27, 2018

Show notes

First topics I want to cover is - The Scales -My general rule of thumb when it comes to this topic is: Don't take the scales and the numbers too seriously, without weighing other important factors. Their are 2 main reasons for this advise:

What scale is used can vary - first weight check, peds visit, visit with me
What your baby is weighed in can vary -naked at birth, different diapers, cloth/disposable, outfit, onsie, hats, mittens socks
disposable diaper is about half ounce. cloth with wrap can be 4-6 oz. short sleeve onsie - 3 oz, long sleeve onsie with socks can be 7 oz

AAB 239 Engorgement - Definition. Why it happens. Prevention. Treatment Jan 19, 2018

Show notes

Engorgement is the swelling or congestion of body tissues. When we are referring to breast engorgement, we are describing the painful swelling that occurs when the breasts become very full and very firm. Sometimes the breasts are actually hard and all these sensations lead to very painful breasts. They can feel very heavy, sometimes throbbing, you noticed your skin is quite stretched and sometimes this fullness and firmness leads to your armpits. Engorgement can affect one or both breasts.

AAB 238 What if my baby won't breastfeed Jan 15, 2018

Show notes

There are actually quite a few reasons why you can struggle with early breastfeeding. Here are some possible scenarios that you might find yourself dealing with a baby who is not breastfeeding well:

Probably the most common reason for a hard start is a premature birth. When babies are born early it can make it more difficult for them to breastfeed.
The reasons can be numerous so it is not helpful at this point to conjecture. What we really want to do is say.. okay, this is the situation, now what do we do about it.

AAB 234 The 2 week mark - How do you know that Breastfeeding is going really well? Jan 12, 2018

Show notes

Your baby should have been gradually gaining back any weight loss from the first 4 days, until they were back to birthweight at 2 weeks old.
Breastfeeding should not be painful for you.
Your baby comes to the breast and feedings are comfortable for you. You should not be experiencing any breast pain or nipple pain.

When your baby is breastfeeding he should be relaxing at breast, focused on feeding, staying put and not coming on and off, multiple times during the feeding.

Your baby should be feeding about 8 times a day. Perhaps it is 7 or perhaps it is 9 somewhere in there would be normal.

AAB 236 Milk is in Now Day 4 - 14 Jan 08, 2018

Show notes

Your baby is now 4-5 days old. You are just beginning to get the hang of breastfeeding. Sure you might feel awkward with it all, however, you are now getting use to a baby feeding at your breast 8 times a day. You are continuing to experiment with different positions to find which ones seem to work best for you and your baby. In some places you will find you need to use a pillow and a stool. Other places where you breastfeed, your set up will be different

AAB 235 First 4 days of life Jan 05, 2018

Show notes

The first 24 hours: If all went well with your birth and you and your baby do not need any special care, it is best if you do what you can to spend the first 24 hours just being with your baby. We like to call it your "babymoon" time. Your physical body and emotional mind has been through a lot of changes from pregnancy to birth to postpartum. You have gone through a lot in the last 9 months. Here is what you can expect the first 24 hours: Read More

AAB 234 My very first show Breastfeeding Why's and How to's Jan 01, 2018

Show notes

As a lactation consultant, I have long since recognized the lack of information mothers have about breastfeeding. Not only about early breastfeeding difficulties, but also how this impacts their postpartum lifestyle. Breastfeeding comes fairly easy for some mothers and I want them to know that it may not come easy for your sister or best friend. I want you to know that you can be of great help to them. You can provide emotional support, practical help and suggest they seek professional help. For some mothers, early breastfeeding is more challenging than they thought it would be. It is very emotional and exhausting for some mothers. When this happens, we tend to become very overwhelmed, isolate ourselves and some mothers become depressed.
