All About Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is a natural thing to do, however, it does not necessarily come naturally for most of us.

As a lactation consultant, I have long since recognized the lack of information mothers have about breastfeeding. Not only about early breastfeeding difficulties, but also how this impacts their postpartum lifestyle. Breastfeeding comes fairly easy for some mothers and I want them to know that it may not come easy for your sister or best friend. I want you to know that you can be of great help to them. You can provide emotional support, practical help and suggest they seek professional help. For some mothers, early breastfeeding is more challenging than they thought it would be. It is very emotional and exhausting for some mothers. When this happens, we tend to become very overwhelmed, isolate ourselves and some mothers become depressed.

The idea for mamava was born having pumped at trade shows, airports, corporate retreats, baseball games, and even the back seat of a male client's car, the owners of mamava decided enough was enough. They were motivated to design Mamava because of their personal experiences as working, nursing moms, and by all the friends and colleagues and the thousands of women who have shared their experiences and frustrations with us.

Bottle refusal - What can you do?

The reality is that summertime with kids is a lot of work and taking them to the pool can be exhausting. Talia talk about the added work load of having a baby with a helmet on when you take them out in the heat and keeping the helmet dry during pool time.

When Henry began daycare, he just would not take a bottle. Talia hoped that he would learn to take the bottle and be happy with this too! When she realized he had absolutely not interest and we talked about reverse cycling, Talia decided to change her mindset. Rather than be upset and worried about him, she decided to go with the flow. This does mean that he makes up for those lost feedings by having more frequent feedings when he is with him Mommy and this includes him waking up at nighttime when before he was sleeping longer periods. Talia talks about how she has adjusted to this and also talks about other parents response when she says that he is not taking the bottle. Henry is a well fed baby and is gaining well and is also a very happy baby while in daycare. As long as he gets his naps in, he is a very happy baby.

We also got into a great conversation about expectations as parents and how our kids fit into our life. Expecting to have a lot of control and structuring your whole day like you did before, often does not work out too well. There is a mindset shift that needs to happen as new parents so you can be happy and enjoy your baby.
