What myth do you wish we could get rid of?

Dear Santa,

Please dont bring, plugged ducts, mastitis or blebs this year.

My baby is held close, so I have nothing to fear.

We'll nurse frequently and stay skin to skin

Take time out to cuddle and let the oxy sink in

The gift of a new baby is all that we need

come over, do our dishes or another good deed

Our LC is ready should we need help

Our baby is sleeping now please dont make her yelp

You don't hire me to lie to you. You hire me to get answers and to help you achieve your goals.

If you are trying to increase your supply then the first thing we need to do is make sure your nursing or expressing 8-12 times in 24 hours.
The longer milk sits in your breasts the slower milk is made.

Infants are not meant to have huge meals and sleep for long stretches. They have small tummies that hold small quantities and they eat frequently night and day.

This isnt forever but it is the first step towards more milk

Tis the season for all things peppermint! You may have heard that peppermint can decrease milk supply, but the amount in the occasional treat isn't likely to cause any issues. What can affect supply, though, is nursing less often during the busy holiday season.

Keep baby close and nursing during the busy holiday season." The La Leche League USA logo sits at the bottom.

Health Canada has determined that the bedside sleeper does not meet the Cribs, Cradles and Bassinets Regulations in Canada. Specifically, the product’s sleep surface provides an incline angle greater than 7 degrees, posing a risk of entrapment and suffocation to the child.

Gravy in her ear. Cranberry sauce in his hair. Crumbs all over. Can you relate? What have you dropped on your baby while eating?
