Spit up! 🤢 The ever clothing changing problem f

Spit up! 🤢 The ever clothing changing problem for parents, but sometimes it can be a problem for babies too. Here’s what you need to know:

▪️It is totally normal for new babies to spill some of the milk they receive from the breast, especially in the early weeks.

▪️Your supply is not yet matching their demand and your breast will move from a very full and engorged feeling (within about 7-10 days) to softer breasts that are producing what baby needs to grow. So sometimes they get more than their tummy needs, causing this spit up.

▪️If the spit up is not causing any distress to baby, meaning they aren’t crying before or after, aren’t pulling up their legs, having difficulty lying flat and/or showing other signs of tummy and digestion discomfort, it should settle down especially as supply starts to match demand and the spit up should start reduce.

▪️Some babies will continue to do these spit ups till they are sitting up and on solids.

🥴 How many times did you have to change a top in one day thanks to spit up?

🤱🏼👩🏽‍🍼Remember, if your baby is showing those signs of distress with the spit up please book in to come and see me via my website or see your doctor or pediatrician.

💚 April is Caesarean Birth Awareness month and we wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the enormity and intensity of having your baby via C-section 💚

Every C-section birth is different. Yours may have been associated with trauma or joy. It may have been carefully planned, or an unforeseen emergency. It may have been on your terms, or out of your control.

Having a C-section can raise complex, difficult emotions, and it comes with its own intense physical recovery which is rarely acknowledged. It can also be a source of joy and healing. Birth, no matter what kind you have, is profound, intense and life-changing.

C-sections carry some risk factors for perinatal mental health challenges. One study showed that people who have a C-section birth can experience higher rates of depression during the postnatal period. The reasons for this are complex but trauma during birth may be a contributing factor.”

If you want to talk about your birth, PANDA is here to listen. You can find their contact details at the link in their bio @pandanational

Cluster Feeding. While this can feel like something’s wrong 🤯, it is completely normal.

▪️It’s when your baby will demand frequent feeds close together sometimes causing you to feel like you’ve been feeding for a couple of hours straight and your little one still isn’t satisfied.

▪️Babies use this behaviour to increase your supply of milk.

▪️It’s most likely to happen in the afternoon or the early evening when your milk volume is a little reduced but often higher in fat.

▪️After doing this for a few days in a row your baby will settle when they’re happy with the increased volume of milk.

▪️It’s best not to overthink it and go with the flow. Make sure you’ve got some snacks and water nearby as well as something to keep you entertained like Netflix or a book.

🤱🏼👩🏻‍🍼 Remember, if you’ve got any worries or concerns about breastfeeding or your baby, you can always make an appointment to come and see me for a consultation via my website.
