A morning of monkeys, unicorns, fidget spinners and smiles. These must be the hardest working toys in show business.

Best job in the world

So well put The Baby Lady!

Morning parents.
Today we are going to stop glorifying multi-tasking.
Yes, I have spoken about times when I had an infant on my breast while walking through shops pushing a trolley and voice managing a 3 year old, but that was way down the journey and necessary on that day. It shouldn't be seen as a power move, more as an occasional necessity.

I often feel my clients get frustrated with me during a consult because I constantly refocus them to doing 1 thing. Let's just get breastfeeding right before we add. I always remind them and myself that you can't run comrades if you haven't done a 5km.
During the consult, the parent is breastfeeding, we get the latch feeling good and baby is nutratively feeding, power. Parent looks up and starts asking me about pumping the other breast or putting on a milk collector. Questions start flying about going back to work, filling the freezer, starting solids...
Breathe, let's focus on this moment and this breastfeed.
Breastfeeding is a practiced event. Some of the best sports greats say that we don't practice until we get it right, practice until we don't get it wrong.
Breastfeeding can take 6-8 weeks until we start feeling confident that we are really now getting this. Once you have this confidence, now we can add a new element. Now we can add a pump session to the schedule and we take time to get that right.
At 1 week into your breastfeeding journey there is no reason to have a baby on the breast, a milk collector on the other, scrolling through your socials, thinking about the masters dissatation that you are supposed to be doing while on maternity leave and doing leg raises to get your body back.
The truth is that when we multi-task something or someone is suffering.

Stop!
1. Put your phone away, not on silent or turned over, away. Close the door on distractions.
2. You and baby enjoy the work of practicing latching and feeling that nutrative suck.
3. If you are battling, put baby on your chest, have a talk with baby and yourself.
4. Start again.
5. Focus on your and baby breathing, taking stock of what your body is telling you and make the necessary adjustments. Let the milk flow from the other breast if it does, it is not wasted, you are focused on this task.

You Got This!
Happy feeding.

Meet Mike … 😁

“We’re going to be talking about what is normal for your baby. Should they be crying so much or straining through the night? Tummy troubles can be a big part of your baby’s life, we’re going to talk about some reasons why these happen and how to deal with extra air by showing techniques on helping get rid of burps and lower gas. We will also be talking about flat heads and stiff necks and how to avoid them or deal with them”

This little guy is such a champ! Love my job!

Toddlers make up a big part of our practice. It’s wonderful to deal with these smiling faces all day long and even better to be part of their journey!
