Mountain Lactation Services

Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July!

Stay cool, hydrated and remember to feed those babies!

Remember to take breaks in the shade, or indoors, it’s ok to relax. Remember you don’t have to pass that baby, unless you want.

We will be closed this week for the holiday.

So proud of my daughters talents. She drew a mountain scene for my home office. What a wonderful addition to the Mountain Lactation Office!!

Does your Lactation Consultant have training in massage techniques and incorporates touch in your careplan?

Ask about ways to help your infant with their body tension and how to strengthen that beautiful bond ♥️

As for the cutie on the bottom, that one is claimed. 😂 He is all mine. Baby G just turned 6 months. He was so little in this photo. 6 weeks to be exact.

Hey local border families! This wonderful WIC support group is located in Polk County,Polk County Public Health. Check it out, if you can! If you have any questions, message or call Diana.

Reshare of this poll I did about night waking and night feeds.

I know the before picture isn’t the greatest. I should have taken a good laying down photo. Gunner was shaped like a banana 🍌 from a broken collar bone at birth. This affected his body alignment, sucking skills and overall made nursing challenging.

This little bu**er had such a c-curve to the right side.
It made me feel so upset 😭. As an IBCLC, I knew how to help him but it still took time and a team approach. He has a little more body tension to work through but he has made such a BIG improvement!

We used bodywork like infant massage, chiropractic Radiance Chiropractic 864.568.6078 & CST Unwinding Therapies, LLC and of course an IBCLC, me 😂

Work with an IBCLC that does a team approach. That is how you will get to your goal the quickest and best way!

Where is your LC during her maternity leave ?!?

She is learning more was to help new families! Spending the weekend at a conference on Pediatric Massage.

What else do you think we should focus on, to help you?

Very normal! How many times a night does your little one feed??

The journey can be different for different folks. I know this oh too well! Today is world cesarean day. Let’s honor those who birthed a child in this manner.

All births are valid, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Today we celebrate our cesarean mamas, tell us below your experience if you ever had one! 🫶🏻

Guess which LC is gaining even more knowledge in the holistic approach to Plugged ducts and Mastitis! Education never ends!!

What other topics do you feel more LC’s should be more knowledgeable on ?!?!

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽 Mountain Lactation will be closed Wednesday and Thursday for some family time. All questions can be sent via email or Milknotes portal for current clients.

Education is critical in our occupation. I enjoy doing as many CEU’s as possible. I need to find a money tree 🌲 to support this habit.
I’m proud to say your IBCLC has finished this course in late 2021, and has been adding its knowledge into my practice since then.
Is your IBCLC knowledgeable in herbals and how to use them to help your each your goals? It’s ok to ask them this question 🙋🏼‍♀️ to make sure your getting the right LC for your situation.

How amazing is human milk?!?!?♥️♥️💕♥️🙌🏻

Fun fact: one teaspoon of mama's milk contains over 3 million germ killing cells.

One teaspoon of artificial human milk substitute (aka 'formula') has none.

Have you heard different things about swaddling, especially after birth?!?

What a great read. Skin to skin is 🔑

It helps you read baby’s hunger cues, like hand movement and crying.

Infants swaddled immediately after birth show a delay in initial breastfeeding, less successful suckling at the breast, reduced intake of breastmilk and greater weight loss compared to un-swaddled babies. Swaddling visually obscures feeding cues and reduces crying, thereby eliminating two key feeding prompts typically used by parents/carers.

The impact of swaddling upon breastfeeding: A critical review - PubMed As swaddled babies cry less, and are fed less frequently than un-swaddled babies some clinical trials position swaddling as a 'novel weight regulation tool' to combat obesity. However, in the case of breastfed babies, by reducing feed frequency swaddling may impede maternal milk production and there...
