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.

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 129 Co-sleeping and Room Sharing Dec 14, 2016

Show notes

Bed sharing is having the babies sleep in the same bed as the adults. This is what I did.when my kids were young. I didn't know it at the time because it just seemed right and it helped me get some much needed rest, however, Bed sharing was very common up to the 19th century. People use to sleep in very close quarters to each other, places were small, sleeping with each other kept people warm at night. What changed? Houses got bigger, babies were given their own room, the baby crib industry grew and more and more babies were put in their own crib. In the scheme of things, meaning bed sharing has been happening since the beginning of time, This nightime habit is relatively news. Bed sharing and co-sleeping has been shown to save babies lives, promotes bonding,and enables parents to get more sleep.

AAB 127 Our historical of wet nursing part 7 Dec 07, 2016

Show notes

The matter of need is somewhat open for interpretation, as are many things. When I think of need as a modern woman, I think of - If for whatever reason, a mother cannot breastfeed her baby. Whether it is because she has died she is too sick to breastfeed, she has been separated from her baby or she has no milk to provide for her baby. Need to woman centuries ago could have been defined as - She needs to get back to conceiving babies and the act of breastfeeding acts as one form of contraception. Customs are for her to get breeding again as soon as she could. The need also arose from what was expected of her in society, which was to delegate all physical work to others to demonstrate her own and her family's high status.
