You are the real deal mommy

Have you ever heard someone say "my baby is just using me as a pacifier"?

Or have you ever said it yourself?

Have you ever been shamed and told "your baby is using you as a pacifier"?

It is concerning, when parents are taught to see comforting their baby as a negative.

Human infants suck for a multitude of reasons.

🔆 Comfort
🔆 Falling asleep
🔆 Digestion
🔆 Lower heart rate
🔆 Stress relief
🔆 Hunger
🔆 Thirst

Sucking is literally a human infant reflex. A baby SHOULD suck on anything you put in their mouth.

If your baby is awake, it's always a good time to latch!

If you need help with finding comfort, I can help you!

If you need help latching in a carrier, I can help you!
(Because feeding in a carrier can be such a helpful act)

If you need help latching while lying down with your baby, I can help! (Feeding for nap time can mean extra sleep for you too!)

Fil or feedback inhibitor of lactation pumapasok sa mga milk ducts natin pag di natin napapasuso si baby sa oras na sya ay gutom, nagbigay Tayo ng top up ( other method of feeding ke baby aside from direct latch whether breast milk or formula). Ito ay mag papahina ng gatas ng Ina dahil sa wala nang demand.
Kaya nga di po kami Basta Basta nagbibigay ng breast milk sa mga babies kung di talaga kelangan. The more lang mawawala din tiwala nilang makapagproduce for their babies. Mas ineencourage pa din namin ang direct latching o mismong Ina ang magprovide ng gatas sa mga anak nila.
Para nakatulong sa pag lakas ng supply ni mother at mas fit gatas para ke baby.
Kaya please di porke sinabing wala wala na po dito po kami para tulungan kayo.

Ang gatas ni nanay ay tunay na walang kapantay. Grabe till now pati ako naamaze sa wonders nya. Kaya wag gigive up kahit na ga patak lang yan wala po yan katulad the best yan para ke baby. Push natin yan.

A photo showing droplets of breast milk fending off armies of harmful bacteria in Petri dishes is going viral on Facebook.⁣
⁣
The photo, posted by a biology student in England, features nine Petri dishes completely colonized with the bacteria M. Luteus, except in the center, where tiny puddles of breast milk have created what looks like “moats” of protection around themselves.⁣
⁣
The student, Vicky Green, said she had similar results with Petri dishes full of e.Coli and the dreaded anti-biotic resistant “super bug” MRSA.⁣
⁣
⁣
“The white spots in the middle are discs soaked in two samples of breastmilk,” Green wrote in the caption of her post. “See the clear bit around the discs ― that’s where the proteins in the milk have inhibited the bacteria!”⁣
⁣
An article from YourPediatrician.com explains how this is possible:⁣
⁣
“About 80 percent of the cells in breast milk are macrophages, cells that kill bacteria, fungi and viruses. Breast-fed babies are protected, in varying degrees, from a number of illnesses, including pneumonia, botulism, bronchitis, staphylococcal infections, influenza, ear infections, and German measles. Furthermore, mothers produce antibodies to whatever disease is present in their environment, making their milk custom-designed to fight the diseases their babies are exposed to as well.”⁣
⁣
What’s even more impressive is that the samples of milk in the photos came from the mother of a 15-month-old and a 3-year-old, providing further evidence that breast milk continues to protect against illness long beyond infancy.

Share ko lang ang saya ko today 2 mga nanay pumunta sa CIMC to ask for help sa mga babies nila kasi nahihirapan silang pag botehin si baby. Hehe masyadong choosy si baby good thing so we tried cup feeding at spoon feeding. Di man perfect sa simula pero yung team effort I know they can do it.
It's not an easy journey mga nay ha pero salamat sa mga kapartner natin Mr. , Lola, tita o mga maritess na handang tumulong.
Tandaan wag mahihiyang magsabi. Sama sama tayo sa ikakatagumpay natin.
Hakab na ilagueños

Nanay sapat ka po sa anak nyo tiwala lang

Day 1 vs Day 3

TRUST THE PROCESS!!!
COLOSTRUM IS BREASTMILK!
Use a syringe to catch colostrum. Do not PUMP during Day 1. You cannot fill 1 storage bottle during day 1.
Hand express is way better than pumping during day 1.

Hindi totoo na wala ka milk during day 1 kung patak patak lang lumalabas. 2nd month pa lang ng pregnancy gumagawa na ng breast mo ng breastmilk. So trust the process keep latching and keep constant stimulation during the 1st day after giving birth.

Ask for help from lactation experts if you are experiencing challenges in your breastfeeding journey.

Thank you Ma'am Shine Pagulayan for sharing your breast milk to our NICU babies here at CIMC hospital may God bless you more

Skin to skin contact great help

Milia föddes två månader för tidigt, men har varken lagts i kuvös eller skiljts från sina föräldrar. Istället har Milia fått ligga hud mot hud med både mamma och pappa sedan födelseögonblicket. Det tack vare ett nytt arbetssätt som används på sjukhusen i Gävle och Hudiksvall.

– Personalen är helt otroliga. Förlossningen var tidig och oväntad, men ändå lugn och trygg, säger Milias mamma Sophia Pihlajainen.

Ett nyfött barn behöver uppleva närhet och få värme, även om det fötts för tidigt eller är sjukt. Det nya arbetssättet innebär att det nyfödda barnet läggs direkt efter födseln på mammans bröst där det får stanna, där får barnet också den vård de behöver. Hud- mot hudmetoden började som ett projekt men är nu ett etablerat arbetssätt inom BB, förlossningen och kvinnosjukvården i Region Gävleborg. Vinsten är friskare barn och mammor och trygga familjer.

– Anknytningen mellan barnet och mamman påverkas positivt. Det leder till kortare vårdtider och hela familjen känner sig trygg och nöjd, säger barnsköterskan Stina Lundin på neonatalavdelningen i Gävle.

– Det vi kan se är att vi har färre inlagda barn med låg kroppstemperatur och kuvöserna används nu alltmer sällan, säger Jennika Pettersson som varit projektledare.

Low birth weight

BREASTFEEDING and SLOW WEIGHT GAIN

Maraming pwedeng maging rason kung bakit ang isang breastfed baby ay may mabagal na pagbigat ng timbang. Tignan natin ang mga posibleng rason na to:

❎ Poor Latch
Dahil sa mali o hindi maayos na latch, hindi masususo ni baby ng mabuti ang gatas ni mommy.
✅ Siguradohing nakabuka ng husto ang bibig ni baby, hakab hindi lang ang utong kundi pati ang ibang parte ng ar**la, at hindi masakit para kay mommy ang pagsuso ni baby. Kumonsulta din sa ating mga doktor, lactation consultant, o mga lokal na breastfeeding support group upang ma-assess ng mabuti ang latch ni baby.

❎ Infrequent Breastfeeding
Hindi madalas ang pagsuso ng newborn baby dahil madalas ay tulog.
✅ Pasusoin si newborn baby (30 days old) ng kada at least 2-3 hours. Kapag umabot ng 3 oras at tulog pa si baby, kilitiin ang paa o haplosin ang kanyang likod upang magising at mahakab ni baby ng husto ang utong ni mommy. Kapag naman maya't maya ang paghahanap ng suso ay hayaan at padedein lamang si baby kahit wala pang 2 oras ang pagitan dahil ang breastmilk ay madaling matunaw kaya mas madalas silang sususo.

❎ Short Nursing Sessions
Maiikling oras ng pagsuso dahil nakakatulog agad si baby.
✅ Kapag naman mabilis na nakakatulog si baby habang sumususo, isang posibleng rason ang mabagal na flow ng ating gatas. Gawin lamang ang 'breast compression' o pagpisil ng suso para mas bumilis ang paglabas ng gatas. Siguradohin ding tama ang latch ni baby upang makuha niya ang foremilk at HINDMILK.

❎ Pain or Discomfort
Kapag may dinadamdam si baby, sakit o impeksyon sa loob ng kanyang bunganga gaya ng "thrush".
✅ Kumonsulta agad sa doktor kapag napansing matamlay, humina sumuso at iritable si baby.

❎ Low or Delayed Breast Milk Supply
Konti ang milk supply ni mommy o delayed na paglabas ng kanyang gatas.
✅ Kapag konti ang milk supply, i-check kung tama ba ang latch ni baby dahil posibleng hindi niya nasususo ng mabuti ang gatas ni mommy. Isang palatandaan ng 'bad latch' ang pagsusugat ng utong. Kapag 'good latch naman' dalasan lamang ang pagpapasuso.

Meron din naman ang 'growth spurt' phase kung saan tila ba hindi nabubusog si baby at gusto ay minu-minuto ang pagsuso, sundin lamang si baby at pasusoin sya hangga't gusto niya dahil paraan ito upang dumami pa ang ating milk supply. Huwag pagagamitin ng pacifier si baby.

Mga posibleng at risk sa mabagal na pagbigat:
🔸 Premature or Near Term
Ang mga premature o maliliit na babies ay hindi sapat ang lakas at enerhiya upang sila ay makasuso ng matagal at makuha ang tamang dami ng gatas.

🔸 Oral Challenges
Mahirap para sa mga babies ang sumuso kapag engorged ang suso o malaki ang mga utong ni mommy. Mas mahirap para sa mga babies na may cleft lip at palate ang pagsuso.

🔸 Reflux
Maliban sa madalas nilang inilalabas ang kanilang sinususo, ang acid galing sa lungad o s**a ni baby ay nakakairita sa kanilang lalamunan at esophagus dahilan para maging masakit sa kanila ang paglunok ng gatas.

🔸 Illness
Ang mga batang may sakit o impeksyon ay hindi makakasuso ng maayos dahilan para sila ay hindi bumigat o magbawas pa ng timbang lalo na kapag sila ay nagtatae o nagsus**a.

🔸 Neurological issues
Mga kondisyon, isa na ang Down syndrome, ay pwedeng makahadlang sa tamang pagsuso. Bagaman madami pa ring mga babies na may Down syndrome ang nakakasuso ng mabuti, meron sa kanila ang may poor muscle tone, malaking dila, at maliit na bunganga dahilan upang mahirapan silang sumuso.

Pain while breastfeeding? 🤱😣

While breastfeeding can be uncomfortable at times, it should never be painful.

Here are some tips to help ease pain.

💖 Check baby's latch
💖 Massage breasts with breast milk
💖 Nurse more often but shorter periods
💖 Consider ni**le shields
💖 Use ice packs for engorged breasts while feeding
💖 Start nursing on the side that is less sore
💖 Massage sore area before nursing
💖 Switch up your position!
💖 Pump for 2-3 days to allow a break from breastfeeding
💖 Use heat right before feeding

And of course, if these don't work, please consult in your lactation consultant!
