AAB 113 Breastfeeding Part 5 of Lori answers your questions Nov 04, 2016

Show notes

Most mothers whose hormones are in the proper balance and who have normal breast development during puberty and pregnancy, will make plenty of milk for their baby. Despite all their best efforts, there will be some mothers who will struggle with supply. I find that most mothers I work with, who struggle with supply, well they actually have one or more potential risk factors for low supply, however, they were just not made aware of it. There are some very real factors that can put you at risk for not making enough milk and some you can know ahead of time and others take you by surprise.

AAB 112 Breastfeeding - Part 4 Lactation failure in history Nov 02, 2016

Show notes

In last week's show, we took our breastfeeding tour through England and Germany and discovered similarities and differences in the culture regarding wet nursing. We have learned that wet nursing, which is a woman who breastfeeds another's child, was a common practice all over the world, before the introduction of the bottle and formula. From 2000 BC all the way to the 20th century, wet nursing evolved from an alternative of need to an alternative of choice. We have learned that wet nursing became so popular, which actually caused some problems, so much so that it moved to become a well organized profession with contracts and laws designed to regulate its practice. Wet nurses were hired by agencies and where they practiced and what they were paid was regulated by the agencies. Read More

AAB 109 Breastfeeding Part 3 on tour of breastfeeding in the world Oct 26, 2016

Show notes

Next country on our breastfeeding tour is England. Records show that the pattern of wealthy married women hiring wet nurses in France, was quite the same in England also. Historians came to this conclusion based on the stark difference in birth rates between English upper and working class women. The wealthy women gave birth every year and the working class women had longer intervals with births about every 3 years. While not 100% accurate, women who were wet nurses experienced a suppression in ovulation, which made wet nursing a relatively reliable contraceptive. I find this so interesting as the wealthier women, who should have enjoyed a healthier life were not so healthy largely because of the number of pregnancies and births they had which were commonly between 12 - 18 by the time they were less than 40 years old. These high number of pregnancies was very hard on their bodies. They spent a better part of their married life pregnant, while the lower class women who were busy nursing babies and having fewer babies, enjoyed a healthier life.
