Most people are familier with the impact of breastfeeding on the infant’s health. But we rarely hear about the impact on the lactating parent’s health. Did you know that breastfeeding offers very significant life-long protection against heart disease?

C'est la canicule ! Mais saviez-vous qu'il est déconseillé de donner de l'eau aux bébés, même quand il fait très chaud ? En effet, les bébés n'équilibrent pas très bien leurs électrolytes et leur donner de l'eau peut provoquer un déséquilibre et les rendre malades.

La bonne nouvelle, c'est que votre corps est incroyable ! Il détecte quand bébé a besoin de plus de liquide et ajuste la composition de votre lait maternel pour répondre parfaitement à ses besoins. Alors, donnez-lui souvent le sein et assurez-vous de boire beaucoup d'eau !

Si vous rencontrez des difficultés d'allaitement, n'hésitez pas à demander de l'aide. Je suis là pour vous !

It's a heatwave! But did you know it can be harmful to give water to infants? Babies can't balance their electrolytes well yet and giving them water can cause an imbalance making them sick.

But the good news is that your body is amazing! It detects when baby needs more hydration and will adjust the composition of your milk to meet their needs.

So offer the breast often and keep the water bottle for yourself!

If you are having breastfeeding challenges please reach out. I've got you!

⚠️ With hurricane season and summer storms on the horizon, it’s important to know how to keep your milk safe during a power outage.

Keep freezer doors closed—many freezers can maintain milk in a frozen state for 12–48 hours after power loss. Milk that is partially thawed may be refrozen if it still contains ice crystals.
