USBC : Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies Emergencies often occur when least expected, and sometimes when we are least prepared. They can include a wide range of unsettling events, including personal or family crises, public health emergencies (such as a flu pandemic), acts of terror and violence, and natural disasters or weather-related ev...

The March 28th Saturday Moms Breastfeeding Group is canceled at Mt. St. Mary’s. Your IBCLC, and maternity team is still always available to answer any of your questions. Patients can text the breastfeeding warm-line as usually
or call the office. Stay safe moms!! Remember human milk is always the best protection for infants. Continue to use your breastmilk! Wear a mask ONLY if you are ill while nursing. Wash your hands frequently.

Raise your hand if you have done this.

💧Our milk supply is supported by frequent milk removals, either by breastfeeding or pumping often.
▪️When our breasts feel full, that tells our body to make less milk.
▪️When a woman feels supported, relaxed, is hydrated and nourished, her milk will flow.
▪️Often a decrease in milk supply is temporary, like during an illness, a stressful situation (returning to work) and sometimes during ovulation when our cycles return. (This can happen at any time, although some women don’t get their cycle at all when breastfeeding.)
▪️One of the most common causes of low milk supply in the early days is caused by latch issues, like oral ties or birth tension.
▪️Once breastfeeding is well established, a common cause of a dip in milk supply is caused by scheduled feeds and long sleep stretches at night.
🌙 If your are going more than 6 hours between milk removals at night, you will probably see your supply dip. Sometimes the dip is so gradual that it isn’t noticeable right away.
▪️Once of the most common requests I get for consults is around the 4 month well baby check when the weight gain of the baby has stalled.
😳The #1 cause of the low weight gain is sleep training.
▪️Most babies need to eat at night.
▪️Most women need that stimulation during the night when their prolactin hormone levels are highest.
▪️If there are still issues we do want to make sure that there aren’t hormonal, thyroid or insufficient breast tissue challenges.
▪️If you are struggling with your milk supply, please reach out for help. ☎️
