Antenatal hand expression alone is not sufficient to induce labour.

🤰 It's common for pregnant mums to have colostrum produced at weeks 37-38 before giving birth. Breast stimulation to express colostrum may cause some contractions, but it does not lead to labour.

Many mums have successfully hand-expressed colostrum before birth. Plus, expressing colostrum can help you become familiar with breast milk expression.

However, if you worry about the timing or progression of your labour, it's always best to consult your doctor or lactation consultant.

👉 Learn how to harvest colostrum with us in our Prenatal Breastfeeding Consultation, Mama!

Comes along with 1 on 1 session of:

🤱🏻 advanced class that covers hands-on breastfeeding techniques with corrections
🤱🏻 personalized breastfeeding plan for you and your baby
🤱🏻 2 follow-ups after birth on your breastfeeding progress

From addressing your breastfeeding concerns to mastering deep latch, pumping techniques, and how to maintain your supply, you get it all in one consultation, that too, before your baby arrives!

🤱🏻 Pumping still provides your baby with the benefits of breast milk, specially made for them. And there can be so many reasons why someone chooses to pump.

Stop guilt-tripping mums for choosing to pump and shaming them for having bodily autonomy. PUMPING IS HARD WORK!

Plus, not all pumps guarantee an efficient . A wrong pump can affect your milk supply and cause pain. No one pump fits all.

Are you making enough milk?

🍼 Milk supply is often something worry about. But if your baby is growing healthy, you are doing a great job, Mama!

However, if you suspect your baby is not getting enough it is important to see a lactation consultant ASAP. A lactation consultant will assess whether you are truly having a low milk supply or the baby is gaining weight and getting enough milk.

If you have noticed your baby has poor weight gain, a low number of wet or dirty nappies and shows signs of dehydration, seek advice from an IBCLC immediately.

Thrush is a fungal infection caused by Candida Fungus, commonly affecting the mouth and throat.

But it can also occur at the breasts of a breastfeeding mum and the mouth of babies. If you suspect of having , take a look at the below-recommended actions. 👇

⭐ Confirm the diagnosis with a lactation consultant and get proper support. Your IBCLC may prescribe you an antifungal cream.

👉 Apply antifungal cream after each feeding and use disposable ni**le pads to absorb any milk leakage.

⭐ Thrush can lead to ni**le discomfort or ni**le soreness. So, taking care of your ni**le is crucial during this time.

👉 Consider investing in Silverette Silver Nursing Cups to heal and protect your ni***es, while also preventing the recurrence of fungal infections. These silver cups possess natural antifungal and antibacterial properties, making them effective against thrush.

⭐ Both you and your baby need to get treated simultaneously.

👉 Thrush can pass between you and your baby back and forth. So, treating only one of you can cause reinfection.

⭐ Wash your hands before and after . Sterilise parts of the breast pump and pacifier that will come into contact with your baby's mouth.

⭐ Continue breastfeeding as it helps to prevent the infection from worsening and it's safe to breastfeed alongside thrush treatment.

⭐ Address if you have other infections, such as vaginal yeast infections, as this may cause thrush to recur.

Chat with us for a 1-to-1 consultation if you need help ASAP, Mama.
