Show notes

Becky Ramsdell is a Peoria, Arizona woman who is now a mom of two after going through 10 years of infertility and failed adoptions in the process of building their family.

AAB 122 FAQ #7 - How do I tell if I need to be concerned about the latch? Nov 26, 2016

Show notes

In todays show, we are going to answer the question: How do you tell If you need to be concerned about the latch. It is unrealistic to think that I can help you assess and fix the latch in this show, however, I find that education and prevention can go a long way. I meet with so many moms who did not know the signs of a poor latch. They just did not know anything was wrong until they started to have severe pain or until they went to a pediatric visit and found out there baby has lost too much weight. Read More

AAB 121 Breastfeeding tips and tricks for the holidays Nov 23, 2016

Show notes

Having worked with moms during 20 something holiday seasons, I have a pretty good idea about how stressful this time of year can be for you. On the one hand, when you realized you were going to give birth around holiday time, you had daydreams of how wonderful it would be to spend your baby's first holiday season with friends and family. This evokes all warm and fuzzy feelings and excitement. This is absolutely true, it can be warm and fuzzy and so exciting. It also has a strong tendency to be anywhere between just a little bit stressful to kind of sort but doable stress and all the way to: this is so stressful I just can't wait for all of this to be over.

AAB 120 Breastfeeding Lori talks about her Daily Mantra Nov 21, 2016

Show notes

Lori talks about the fact that breastfeeding should not be painful. She talks about this a lot in her daily work. It is her working mantra: If breastfeeding is hurting on Day 1, something is not right. If breastfeeding is hurting on Day 2, something is not right. And if breastfeeding is hurting on Day 3, something is definitely not right and I urge you to seek professional help right away. This is her daily mantra to mothers, she says it many times a week. Lori has it on her website. What Lori really would like to do is put it on every billboard, along every highway, in every town. What Lori would like to do is put this mantra on her back car window shield. She would like for this to be handed out to every mother in every childbirth education and breastfeeding class. When you enter the halls of the maternity unit or your birthing center or on the literature that your OBs and midwives give you, it would be great if this was in big bold letters: "Breastfeeding is not suppose to hurt". Her family hears her say this ad nauseum and she knows they are bored of hearing her say it. The BIG problem is, that 30 years later, Lori continues to meet with moms on a regular basis and it continues to astound her how frequently mothers are given the wrong information.

Show notes

AAB 117 Julie Bouchet-Horwitz, FNP, IBCLC Executive Director The New York Milk Bank, Inc Nov 14, 2016

Show notes

All infants in need deserve to have human milk. Our most smallest and sickest of babies need to have donor milk to help them get the best start in life. Donor milk will help dramatically reduce the risk of succumbing to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), which is a really bad infection that causes their gut to slough off and die. Premies are more susceptible to this then full term babies. The reason donor milk is often needed for these babies is because their moms have not gone through the full 40 weeks gestation. This time period allows their mammary glands to prepare for milk production. Between the early birth and the stress associated with it, some moms just don't have milk available for their baby - just yet.

By the time we are done here today, you are going to be as equally excited about colostrum and its benefits to newborns. You will understand why physicians are doing whatever they possible can to ensure that all newborns received colostrum, and in particular our most vulnerable sick and/or premature newborns have colostrum.

AAB 115 Breastfeeding Lori continues her tour of breastfeeding practices around the world Nov 09, 2016

Show notes

A few things have happened since I began doing some research for this seasons Tour of the world of breastfeeding. I wanted to be able to take my listeners on a tour, if you will of breastfeeding around the globe from ancient to current times. I knew that I would be covering times when babies were wet nursed and cross nursed. I knew that I would be covering times when babies were removed from their biological mothers arms and given to other woman to nourish them. I knew that there were times in history when wet nurses were just your average citizen, some were paid very well and others average to even low wages. I knew there were historical times and places where they moved from their home to live in nice homes of their employer and times when they were so revered they were treated like royalty.
