How can you educate and support mothers prenatally to meet their breastfeeding goals? What should you look for on prenatal breast exam? What are the sequences of physiologic and hormone events that lead to the establishment of the milk supply? Find out in this module from The Milk Mob!
Successful breastfeeding at the time of hospital discharge has a strong correlation with breastfeeding duration postpartum. Clinicians can optimize breastfeeding rates by understanding how common hospital practices influence breastfeeding. Topics addressed include skin-to-skin, hypoglycemia, jaundice, feeding frequency, pacifiers and the non-latching baby.
The first week postpartum is crucial for the establishment of a healthy milk supply and for maternal confidence in breastfeeding. This module explains the optimal timing of the post-discharge visit, how to assess whether the infant is receiving enough milk, safe means of infant supplementation when needed, and addresses common parental concerns.
Unfortunately, nipple and breast pain are common breastfeeding problems, and a common reason for premature weaning. Causes covered in this module include shallow latch, poor suck dynamics, pump damage, tongue-tie, nipple blebs, vasospasm, dermatitis, yeast overgrowth, biting, plugged ducts, bacterial dysbiosis, acute mastitis and pregnancy.
Believe it or not, an excessive milk supply is a very common cause of several pediatric complaints such as gastroesophageal reflux, gassiness, and fussiness at the breast. Join us to learn how to identify and manage the problems of maternal hyperlactation.
Healthcare providers seldom receive training about child-led weaning, mother-led weaning, weaning a toddler or tandem nursing. Fewer still are aware that re-lactation and induced lactation are even possible. This module provides a brief overview of these concepts.
