Did you know? Skin-to-skin contact offers amazing benefits for your baby! One unique advantage is its ability to help regulate your baby's temperature. Research shows that babies warm up more effectively in skin-to-skin contact with their parent compared to using electric warmers. Your body naturally adjusts its temperature to meet your baby's needs, providing a perfect, comforting environment.

Embrace this natural and nurturing way to support your baby's health and well-being!

Being a mom is a latte of work! ☕️❤️ From sleepless nights to endless cuddles, every moment is worth it. Keep brewing that love!

✈️ Traveling with Baby Essentials?

Good news for parents on the go! When flying you can bring breast milk, formula, toddler drinks, and baby/toddler food (including puree pouches) in quantities greater than 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters in your carry-on baggage. These items do not need to fit within a quart-sized bag.

You can also bring cooling accessories like ice packs, freezer packs, and gel packs, even if they’re not accompanied by breast milk. And remember, your child or infant does not need to be present or traveling with you to bring these items.

For a smoother experience:

Inform the TSA officer at the beginning of the screening process.

While not required, using clear, translucent bottles instead of plastic bags or pouches can help expedite the screening process.

For more detailed information, visit: TSA Breastmilk Guidelines.

🌞 Vitamin D and Breastfeeding: What You Need to Know! 🌞

Here's why vitamin D is crucial:

🦴 Skeletal Integrity: Vital for maintaining strong bones in infants.

🛡️ Immune Support: Helps regulate infection and inflammatory pathways.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends 400 IU of vitamin D per day for all children from birth through adolescence. However, human breastmilk typically contains less than 50 IU per quart, which is why the AAP advises supplement drops for breastfed infants.

🌟 Good News for Moms: By taking 6400 IU of vitamin D daily, you can provide enough for your baby through your breastmilk, eliminating the need for infant drops.

Can you get enough vitamin D from the sun? Yes, but it’s challenging in winter, far northern areas, or for those with darker skin. Even in sunny climates, deficiency is common.

Ensure both you and your baby are getting the vitamin D you need for optimal health! 💪🌈

Breastfeeding Frequency: What You Need to Know

When you feed your baby responsively, predicting the number of daily feedings can be challenging. Several factors influence how often your little one might nurse, including:

1️⃣ Breast Storage Capacity: This varies from person to person.

2️⃣ Baby's Milk Transfer Skills: How effectively your baby can extract milk.

3️⃣ Baby's Stomach Capacity: How much milk your baby can hold.

On average, breastfed newborns typically need to nurse about 10 to 12 times a day. Understanding these factors can help you better navigate your breastfeeding journey. 🌟
