Bottle feeding the breastfed baby
Start with the right type of teat. Nipples that gradually change in shape from narrow at the tip to wider at the base is best and will encourage a wide latch. Bottles with such teats include bottles such as Pigeon, Dr Browns, Evenflo, Lansinoh, Medala etc. #BottleFeeding #Breastmilk #Breastfeeding #IBCLC #LactationConsultant #EvidenceBasedBabies
How to increase your milk supply
Always make sure that you’re breastfeeding responsively and that you have a good latch at all times. Make sure you have lots of skin contact with your baby as this will help feeding behaviors and ultimately the milk supply. #DeepLatch #Breastmilk #BreastmilkSupply #Breastfeeding #IBCLC #LactationConsultant #EvidenceBasedBabies

Can breastfed babies use a pacifier?
Most lactation consultants will usually encourage you to not use a pacifier at all when possible, and for good reason. It can come with many issues including sore nipples for mom, milk production issues, weight gain issues and early weaning. It can hinder a successful breastfeeding journey. #Babies #Pacifiers #Breastfeeding #IBCLC #LactationConsultant #EvidenceBasedBabies

The different types of lactation supporters
Breastfeeding is a unique and personal journey for each mother and child. Having the right support system in place can make a significant difference in overcoming challenges and ensuring a successful breastfeeding experience.

Breast refusal causes and solutions
Breast refusal, also known as breastfeeding aversion or nursing strike, is when a baby, for whatever reason, suddenly refuses to breastfeed. This may cause parents to believe that their baby is weaning from the breast or that something is wrong with them or their milk. Breast refusal can be very distressing for both mothers and babies. #Babies #Breastfeeding #BreastRefusal #NursingStrike #BreastAversion #IBCLC #LactationConsultant #EvidenceBasedBabies
Abrupt weaning and it's risks
Breastfeeding is a normal and natural way for mothers to nourish and bond with their babies. However, sometimes their breastfeeding journeys are not so smooth and complications present themselves. There certainly are instances where mothers may need to consider weaning their baby abruptly, but when possible, natural weaning or planned (gentle) weaning is best for mothers and their babies. #Babies #Breastfeeding #Weaning #IBCLC #LactationConsultant #EvidenceBasedBabies
