✨Our story does not begin at gestation and it certainly does not end after birth.✨

Caption excerpted from the second collage, based on Leonardo DaVinci’s fetal illustrations.
“ORIGIN STORY 🤰
Over evolutionary time, the fetus has evolved to manipulate the mothers physiology (increasing the transfer of nutrients and heat) and the mothers body has evolved to prevent excessive resource flow and this dance, does not seem to end when the baby is born.
The fetus leaves its lasting mark on the mother. Fetal cells can cross the placenta and embed in maternal tissue, becoming the kind of cell they embed in. When a mother has multiple pregnancies, she accumulates cells from each of her offspring.
These cells or microchimeras may potentially effect her ability to get pregnant, her milk production, maternal affection, her thyroid function, even her likelihood of developing autoimmunity, or cancer… (this is still very much an area of research).
Our story does not begin at gestation and it certainly does not end after birth. It is an ever emerging area of science relating to our ever complicated origins.”

Struggling to help your clients with breastfeeding

Struggling to help your clients with breastfeeding? 😣
Save these 8 tips to help lactation get off to the b(r)e(a)st start if you’re a doula!
Familiarize yourself with + teach your clients about the following so they’re armed 🦾 with the knowledge to make bodyfeeding a success:
🥇The Golden Hour: uninterrupted contact between birth parent + baby in the 1st hour after birth helps establish a foundation for bodyfeeding.
🙏🏽Skin to Skin Contact: not only can sustained S2S help establish bodyfeeding, but it can also help improve the latch (among other benefits).
🤤Feeding Cues: if baby is already howling it is difficult to achieve a proper latch. If they are S2S as much as possible, the parent will be able to recognize early feeding cues.
🤸🏾‍♂️Position Matters: for a comfortable latch, baby and parent should be belly to belly and baby’s ear/shoulder/hip should all align. This can be achieved in any hold, including cross cradle, football, sidelying, etc.
😮Wide Latch: baby’s head + neck should be free to move, which allows them to gape widely while being brought to the chest! Latch should be wide enough to get a mouthful of breast (not just the nipple!).
💩Signs Baby is Getting Enough- without weighing baby, if they regularly pee/poop (1 soiled diaper for every day of life) you can assume you’re 🆗. You should hear audible swallowing and baby should be calm and sated if they are getting enough.
📲When to Call an IBCLC - if baby can’t open widely, diapers are not wet, too much weight is lost, or parent is in pain, make sure to call a more experienced lactation provider ASAP.
🚨Warning Signs of Thrush & Mastitis- feeding your baby with your body comes with many new sensations, but clients should understand the warning signs their body will send them if thrush and/or mastitis happens!
Want even more? Join us for our next virtual Certified Lactation Support Counselor (CLSC) Training with Lea Rivera, IBCLC this November 14-18. Registration is linked 🔗 in bio!
