In honor of #worldbreastfeedingweek, a roundup of old comics about breastfeeding some of my favorite pics from my time spent breastfeeding—explanations below: Pic 1: Feeding my daughter (WHO WOULD NEVER TAKE A BOTTLE) in the coat closet of a fancy restaurant at my best friend’s rehearsal dinner🥴 Pic 2: Breastfeeding my daughter while our dog tried to get in on the action. {FYI, I’ve always had to breastfeed in this position bc of heavy letdown. I know it looks weird but 🤷♀️} Pic 3: Feeding my son in the car outside of a brunch spot. Pic 4: The real-life pic that the third comic is based on (my son!) 😂 Video: what it’s like breastfeeding a toddler (🐒) Can you relate? 🐮 . . . . #wbw2023 #waba #breastfeeding #worldbreastfeedingweek2023 #educateandsupport #fedisbest #postpartumlife #postpartumperiod #breasstfeedingjourney #breastfed #motherhoodlife #realmotherhood #honestmotherhood #momlifeunfiltered #toddlermomlife #motherhoodlife #motherhoodmoments #thisismotherhood #myhonestmotherhood #dailymotherhood #momoftwokids #momtruth #lifeasmama #momsgetit #nursingmama #breastmilk

Achtung, Mythos! Die Stillfähigkeit einer Frau ist nicht abhängig von ihrer Brustgröße, sondern vom Anteil des milchbildenden Drüsengewebes. Somit kann eine kleine Brust genauso viele Milchdrüsen enthalten wie eine Große. Eine große Brust deutet demnach ebenso wenig darauf hin, dass eine Mutter besonders viel Milch bildet. Die Größe der Brust ist hingegen abhängig vom Fettgewebe. #stillen #stillmythen #mythenmontag #breastfed #beikost #schlafen #blw #babyledweaning #bindungsorientiert #bedürfnisorientiert #säuglingsernährung #wissenswert

How often should you breastfeed your baby? Anytime and every time. There is no such thing as offering your breast too much, especially in the beginning. Offer your breast for food and for comfort and anytime your newborn is awake. Offer your breast when you don’t know what else to do. If your baby does not want the breast, offer it again later. If your baby does not want the left side, offer the right side. It is ok to switch back and forth often. It is ok to offer each side more than once, even in one feeding session you can switch sides multiple times. Babies are excellent communicators, and if we are responsive to their cues, we will figure out what they are trying to tell us! Remember, newborns should be back to birth weight between 10-14 days and feed around 10-12 times in 24 hours. They should poop and pee 4-6 times per day in the first few weeks after your milk comes in. What questions do you have about breastfeeding your baby? 🎥 by gaia_di_ilaria_magrinelli Hear everyone.

Breastfeeding is one of the most effective ways to ensure child health and survival. However, contrary to WHO recommendations, fewer than half of infants under 6 months old are exclusively breastfed. Breastmilk is the ideal food for infants. It is safe, clean and contains antibodies which help protect against many common childhood illnesses. Breastmilk provides all the energy and nutrients that the infant needs for the first months of life, and it continues to provide up to half or more of a child’s nutritional needs during the second half of the first year, and up to one third during the second year of life. Did you know that? ✨ #breastfedbaby #breastfed #breastfedbabies #breastfeedingmom #breastfeedinginpublic

No doubt that as a breastfeeding mom, you are HUNGRY. Like a deep, alarming sense of hunger that you’ve never experienced before -maybe not even in pregnancy! Did you know that nursing moms burn calories just producing breastmilk? In fact, most doctors recommend an extra 400-500 calories a day to help you maintain your milk supply and properly nourish your body. As a nursing mother, have you felt the hunger? Make those extra calories count! Lactation treats, such as cookies, granola, pumpkin bread, or pretzels, are a fabulous way to help you ensure that you’re not only taking in extra calories but also eating the types of foods that will help to boost your milk supply. . . . . . . . . #breastfeedingmom #breastfeedingmama #breastfedbaby #breastfeedingjourney #breastfed #breastfedbabies #breastfeedingtips #breastfeedingsupport #breastfeedwithoutfear #breastfeedingisbeautiful #breastfeedingmoms #breastfeedingbaby #breastfeedinglife #breastfeedingmommy #breastfeedingproblems #breastfeedingawareness #breastfeedingmommies #normalizebreastfeeding #bessiesbest #makemoremilk

Attention vegan mamas! 🌱 Did you know that ensuring your diet is rich in protein is crucial during breastfeeding? Protein plays a key role in supporting your body's recovery postpartum and in producing nutrient-rich breast milk for your little one. Fortunately, there are plenty of delicious vegan protein options to choose from! Think plant-powered goodness like tofu, tempeh, and edamame, which are not only high in protein but also versatile and easy to incorporate into meals. Lentils, chickpeas, and other legumes are also fantastic sources of protein, providing a hearty and nutritious boost to soups, salads, and stews. Nuts and seeds are another excellent protein-rich option for vegan breastfeeding moms. Whether sprinkled on oatmeal, blended into smoothies, or enjoyed as a crunchy snack, almonds, chia seeds, and hemp hearts are packed with protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients. And let's not forget about whole grains! Quinoa, brown rice, and oats are not only wholesome and satisfying but also contain notable amounts of protein, making them a fantastic addition to any vegan breastfeeding diet. By incorporating these protein-rich plant foods into your meals and snacks, you can ensure that both you and your baby are getting the nourishment you need during this special time. Here's to thriving on a plant-powered journey of motherhood! 🌿 #VeganMom #veganbreastfeeding #lactationsupport

First, I will say, this can be VERY stressful and overcoming the refusal does not happen overnight. What exactly is bottle refusal? It is when “a breastfed baby initially or continuously refuses to accept a bottle containing either expressed breastmilk or infant formula.” There are various reasons why your breastfed baby may be refusing the bottle, including their personality and preference! Babies EXPECT the breast, so the transition may not be overnight. Regardless if you need your baby to take a bottle, these tips will take time and patience. Another thing to consider is the rate at which the milk comes out of the bottle, compared to the breast. Since it is faster, you may want to try pace feeding. Sometimes it may not be the bottle, but actually the milk! The longer that breast milk is stored, the more likely it is to taste off due to the breakdown of fats that are naturally in the milk. Lastly, if your baby continues to refuse the bottle, you can also have them drink from an open cup. Although research has found that it isn’t really such a popular alternative amongst moms, it is very possible to implement and has its own benefits too. Research: Maxwell C, Fleming KM, Fleming V, Porcellato L. UK mothers' experiences of bottle refusal by their breastfed baby. Matern Child Nutr. 2020 Oct;16(4):e13047. doi: 10.1111/mcn.13047.

Breast milk actually comes out of your nipple a lot more like a sprinkler than a garden hose. These holes are called milk duct orifices and you can have about 4 of them per breast (give or take a few). If you ever try expressing milk by hand, you can see on your nipple that it does, indeed, come out of more than one spot, and it's not just the tip of your nipple. You tend to have one or two fewer of these little holes if it’s your first time breastfeeding, but your age, age of your infant, and use of a breast pump in addition to breastfeeding has no impact on the number of milk duct orifices a person has. By the way - these orifices aren't to be confused with the milk ducts themselves, which carry the milk to the nipple. You can actually have up to 20 of those per breast.

Just support feeding all babies. We should be able to CHOOSE to use our bodies how and when we want, and be supported to feed our babies when and where we want. There is enough shame to go around in the infant feeding world because the messaging to women isn't really about feeding, it's about their VALUE as a human, and they are never.going.to.win that messaging in a patriarchal society that defines our value by our ability to serve others. If you formula feed, you are devalued because you "you're too lazy to give your baby the best, and didn't work hard enough to serve others" (which is a big fat lie) and if you breastfeed, you better do it under a specific set of criteria, in terms of location, place AND duration or you "are a disgusting, attention seeking exhibitionist who just wants everyone to see your body" (which is ALSO a big fat lie). Normalizing ANY feeding means normalizing choice for ALL feeding, and that starts with taking away shame, blame or guilt around every feeding parent, and then advocating for support for everyone to get the support that makes it possible to have. The only way to win the feeding game is to quit playing because it’s not set up for you to get approval no matter what. You win when you look inside yourself to your place of KNOWING about what’s right for you, your body, your baby and your family WITH the choices you have available. That’s not just enough. That’s everything. #nourishedyoung #feedbetterfeelbetter #empoweredfeeding #feminist #newmomies #newmotheradvice #postpartum #infant #infantcare #postpartum #baby #newborn #newborning #maternityleave #newbaby #Selfcare #Selflove #breastfed #chestfed #bottlefed #newbornbabycare #ibclc #newborncarespecialist
Domperidone (motilium) is a topic of great emotion, hope and controversy. It is not available for use in the US due to concerns about the side effects. I will do a further post eventually on Reglan which is what is used in the US. Reglan passes into the breast milk in higher doses and has a risk of extrapyramidal side effects whereas Domperidone has mood effects and it also has a risk of QT prolongation Motiilium is seen as a hope for many, many parents. And there are many cases where it can be extremely effective! But it is not a substitute or a work around for the frequent removal of milk that is required to establish a supply. It works really well in prematurity and nerve damage. And when you understand the science - it stands to reason that it works for these! In Part 2 I will go into the evidence a bit more and prolactin receptors and when it’s effective! Studies have shown it can increase milk by 90ml esepcallitbin prematurity. We’re not supposed to put Dosages on here. But it’s important that you slowly start it and slowly wean it down under the guidance of a doctor. What we’ve noticed is when people take Domperidone they are pumping more so it tends to work better. #motilium #reglan #breastfed weaning #extendedbreastfeeding #breastfeeding #mastitis #attachment #attachmentparenting #babywearing #cosleeping #bedsharing #newborn #postpartum #newbaby #pumpingmama #breastmilk #pregnant #expecting #anxiety #lactation #doctor #lowsupply #caesarean #baby #birth #motherhood #maternity #momlife #momtobe #babyblues

Hey Parent Tribe!!! Breastfeeding is important to talk about on this motherhood journey. I have been breastfeeding my son for over 20 months now. It definitely is a full time job and exhausting in itself. I also work a full time job at home with no daycare. My partner and I take turns watching him while other get things done. When I first started breastfeeding, it was difficult and it hurt a lot. Majority of the discomfort came from his lip and tongue ties which can be discussed in a different post. I did some research before he got here and my doula @love_aprilkline gave me a few tips as well. Before he got here, I prayed to God and was determined to breastfeed. I knew it was the best option for us. So, I kept going. I hated the pump. It hurt my nipps so much. Therefore, I started hand expressing which I still do at times. Breastfeeding is not just physical. It is also mental, spiritual, and emotional. I had to get my mind focused on doing it. My emotions of sadness and happiness would fluctuate. I prayed constantly. Overall, breastfeeding is such a reward. I get to snuggle and comfort my baby, well toddler, as well as nourish him. I’m grateful and thankful to be able to still do it. I give all the praise and glory to God. He has made us and not we ourselves (Psalm 100). He made it so I could bare a child and nurse him for nourishment. God will forever amaze me. (I’m also trying to wean him off. That’s another post for another day.) ✌🏾&🤎 #momlife #breastfedbaby #breastfed #breastfeedingatoddler #breastfeedingmama #breastfeedingjourney #wfhmomlife #motherhoodjourney #boymomadventures #momcreator #momcontent #breastfeedinginpublic #thankfulandgrateful #praisegod #glorytogod #socialmediacontent #explore #momlifeunfiltered #breastfeed #momjourney #fulltimejob

Milk Supply trigger ‼️ I am a slightly over producer whose supply has dropped (once at 3 months and again at 4 months) and I am playing catch up with my ever growing baby boy!!! I am back to work and trying to stick to a schedule every 3 hours. But have not have time to power pump in AM or PM like old times. BUT today I snuck in a power pump this AM. And woah was I surprised 😮 I have been increasing my water intake, remembering my prenatal, drinking one liquid iv or body armor a day, and trying to nurse more! Praying this supply increase sticks - We’re trying to make it 6 months but would love to make it a year! But we’re going through our backup freezer stash too so I’ll be nursing and pumping as long as I want him BF 🤪 Any BF-ing mamas got other tips to increase or just feeling down about supply? I love a good supportive mama chat! 💬 #duleynoted #kyduleynoted #motherhood #firstbabyinmythirties #pregnancyafterinfertility #firsttimemommy #firsttimemom #firsttimemama #newmom #newmomlife #momlife #newmomlifestyle #breastfedbaby #breastfed #breastfeedingmom #increasemilksupply #breastfedbabies

“I didn’t plan how long I was going to continue for as it was just so easy and comforting to us both. As time went on I was thinking his second birthday was going to be the time when we stopped breastfeeding. However, a lack of interest from both of us meant it stopped two months before. There was no momentous last feed, it just slowly dropped off as his appetite for food grew as well as his independence from me. I felt comfortable settling him without it as we had been working on that for a while...” Read Jess’ full account of breastfeeding after a c-section birth now on boobingit.com.

It's important to remember that breastfeeding is a learned skill both for the mother and the baby. If you are experiencing pain while nursing or if you feel like your baby isn't getting enough milk, don't feel discouraged. There are several adjustments you can make to improve the situation. For example proper latching techniques, hydration and nutrition all play vital parts in your breastfeeding journey. For more information, consult with a lactation consultant or check out our IG Q&A series (in our reels) featuring our trusted International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Catherine McCevilly Pestl where she covers a different question on all things breastfeeding. #normalizebreastfeeding #breastpump #breastmilk #lactation #breastfeedingmom #breastfeedingsupport #breastfed #gotmilk #breastfeedingawareness #nursingmom #breastfeedingjourney #thedairyfairy #lactationhelp #milksupply #milkmaker

What happens when breastfeeding doesn’t go as expected? What about the client who does not wish to breastfeed. Or the client who may want to provide their baby breastmilk. Yet they are averse to the sensation of an infant suckling at their breast. Join us as we discuss how to best support clients in their individual infant feeding journey. We also discuss the common physical and emotional stresses, as well as the joys, and tears that feeding a baby can often bring.

⚠️Warning: There is a video at the end of these slides with an anatomically correct model of a breast. If you don’t want to see it, don’t look through these slides. ⚠️ 🌸 Hand Expression—One of the greatest, (and most slept on) tools for relieving and preventing clogged ducts, and increasing milk supply. Why is it an important skill? Studies have shown: ✋🏻 Proper Hand Expression techniques can be more effective than pumping. ✋🏼 Women who combined hand expression with pumping were able to increase their pumping output by an average of 48%. ✋🏽 Hand expression has been shown to be more effective at relieving engorgement and clogged ducts than a breast pump. ✋🏾 Even simply breast massage alone before pumping stimulates blood flow and milk ducts, helps to stimulate a “let down”, and increases the secretion of oxytocin. ✋🏿 Hand expression is the most similar milk removal method to a baby’s natural feeding pattern and habits, combing breast tissue stimulation and breast in addition to suction and sucking. 🥛 It may seem strange to some, while others may find it tricky—but with a bit of practice, you can do it! And y'all!!! if you can master this skill, it’s sure to help you majorly in your lactation journey. 🥛 Have you tried hand expression? Let me know in the comments! 👇🏻 #lactation #breastfeeding #handexpression #cloggedducts #mastitis #breastmilk #breastfedbaby #breastfed #breastfedbabies #handexpressing #doula #birthdoula #birth #postpartum #postpartumsupport #lactationconsultant #lactationsupport #breastfeedingmama #breastfeedingmom #breastfeedingmoms #breastmilkismagic
🚫 Let’s talk about what NOT to say to people when you’re wondering if they’re going to have kids. Asking about someone’s family planning can be intrusive and hurtful. Everyone’s journey is unique, and it’s not okay to make assumptions or put pressure on others. Here are some tips: ❌ Don’t ask, “When are you having kids?” or “Why don’t you have kids yet?” You never know what someone might be going through or what their plans are. ❌ Avoid comments like, “You’ll change your mind,” or “You’ll regret it if you don’t have kids.” These statements can be dismissive of someone’s feelings and choices. ❌ Steer clear of suggesting that someone’s life is incomplete without children. Everyone’s path to fulfillment is different. ✅ Instead, offer support and understanding. If someone wants to share their plans with you, they will do so in their own time. Being mindful of the words we use and showing respect for everyone’s journey is key. 🔑 www.doulasofutah.com 📞 801-871-5389 ✉️ [email protected] #doulasofutah . . . #postpartumdoula #doula #postpartum #postpartumjourney #labor #labordoula #childbirth #childbirthrecovery #breastfeeding #breastfed #postpartumdoula #doula #saltlakecity #postpartumhealth #postpartumbody #childbirth #childbirtheducation #doulasupport #postpartumwellness #postpartumdoulasupport #postpartumrecovery #birthsupport #childbirthclass #childbirthclasses #childbirtheducator #nightnanny #utahnightnanny #infertility #infertilityawareness
