🤱🏽It’s National Breastfeeding Week! 🤱🏽

In honour of this, I wanted to share what I’ve been using to help with my supply and pumping to feed Ms. Aaliyah.

The basics - water, sleep, and stress management. The latter two are a bit more difficult when you’re barely sleeping and life is still happening, but stress can decrease your milk production, so do the best that you can to not let it get out of control. Walking, baby snuggles, and time in nature helped me.

Good nutrition for you and baby - again can be hard, but colourful foods, good prenatal, omegas, probiotics - all help you and baby!

If you still need to amp up things up, there are some great herbs which can help. I was introduced to products from a lactation consultant, when I was having issues with my milk production after my c-section, and Aaliyah losing more weight than we’d like (turns out she also had a lip and tongue tie that we got surgically fixed). FYI lactation consultants helped so much, and I’d highly recommend getting their support in the first month of your baby’s life.

After some research of my own, I found these supplements were using good quality herb and herb combos to support nutrient dense milk production, options to help with mastitis and clogged ducts, and they carried equipment like hands free breast pumps. Also, their products have hilarious and clever names which I love 🤣. Most importantly, I noticed an improvement in my milk.

I have no affiliation with them - just wanted to pass on some info and tips to those who may be in a similar situation I was/am.

Happy pumping & feeding! 🤱🏽👶🏽

It’s crazy to believe, but this little peanut will be arriving soon! 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝟏𝟒𝐭𝐡 will be my last day for consultations before I go on maternity leave for a few months. If you would like to book an appointment, please call directly, as my online booking is unavailable at this time. 👩🏽‍⚕️

I want to take the time to say thank you for all the support you have shown me, especially during this new and exciting time as I start the journey into motherhood. 🙏🏾💕

I’m looking forward to supporting everyone again once I return, and until then, you are in good hands with the doctors at Polo Health.

Sincerely,

😋Dr. Saf’s Greek
Yogurt Breakfast Bowl

Since being 🤰🏽, I’ve needed to eat a bit more in the AM, as I don’t intermittent fast anymore. This is an easy and delicious breakfast I do regularly that keeps me full, and gives the both of us plenty of healthy nutrients to start the day.

Recipe:
- 2-3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
- 1.5 tsp chia seeds
- 3-4 drops vanilla stevia
- Fresh or frozen berries (I also added in pomegranate today)
- Low carb granola (the one I used is by from Costco)
Mix and enjoy!

Hello everyone! This past weekend was an exciting and eventful one for me, with a lot of great news and life changes!

I married a wonderful and amazing man, in a small ceremony front of family and close friends. 👰🏽‍♀️🤵🏾‍♂️

On top of tying the knot, we found out that our family is growing with a baby girl! 👶🏽

With these changes, I will be continuing with phone or virtual consultations only. I can still provide all of my usual services, including all testing, weight loss, gut health, hormone support, and so on. To book appointments, please call as online booking is not available at this time. Injections, IVs, and PAPs can be provided by other doctors at Polo Health.

Thank you, and I look forward to continuing to support all of you!
