BIG NEWS! You can now put Breastfeeding Medicine Consults and 4th Trimester Packages on your Baby Shower Registry! Baby goods are great gifts for showers, but a new mom (even if it's not your first baby, it's still going to be new!) needs to SUPPORT. Invest in yourself (or a friend or loved one) by asking for the funds to cover one of our Consults or Packages. Personal well-being and peace of mind is PRICELESS! πŸ’Žβœ¨πŸŒŸ

Create your registry at Be Her Village (link in comments) and then head over to my website to contact me to reserve your spot on my schedule πŸ’™β€οΈπŸ’šπŸ§‘πŸ’œπŸ’›

This is a common (and valid!) concern for breastfeeding parents. Luckily, we set things up to monitor a baby's weight closely in the first couple weeks to ensure they are eating enough. πŸ€±πŸ½πŸ€±πŸΏπŸ€±πŸΌπŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸΌπŸ€±πŸΎπŸ€±πŸ€±πŸ»

If your baby isn't gaining weight, or your pediatrician isn't sure whether it's a breastfeeding problem at hand or some other reason why there's a weight gain problem, contact a Breastfeeding Medicine physician to get help right away!

This is our final video in the Imposter Syndrome series. Imposter Syndrom as a mom in general. It really never ends, unfortunately πŸ˜–

We are always comparing ourselves with those around us, and this is even worse when we have pictures of perfect families doing everything perfectly on Social Media. I guarantee you, behind the scenes, they are struggling just like you. We are human. We will make mistakes.

We will have good days and bad days but that does not make us any less worthy or wonderful or any less "exactly what our kids need." πŸ‘ŠπŸ½πŸ‘ŠπŸ»πŸ‘ŠπŸΏπŸ‘ŠπŸ‘ŠπŸΎπŸ‘ŠπŸΌ

Most medical professionals receive very little, if any, education on lactation. This is one of the reasons lactating people hear all sorts of different recommendations from different professionals.

If you're hearing conflicing information and you don't know who to trust, find a Breastfeeding and Lactation Medicine physician. Dr. Rubin is Board-Certified in Breastfeeding and Lactation Medicine and can help you sort out your breastfeeding problems when you have them πŸ‘©πŸ»β€βš•οΈπŸ€±πŸ½πŸ©Ί

If this describes you, please call today to schedule an appointment πŸ’œ

Let's talk about Imposter Syndrome in those first few days after having a baby. It's for real!

You are never an imposter, and it's important to make sure you're surrounded by people who will support you without judgment during this time when it's so easy to feel like you're doing everything wrong.

Hang in there, mama! You've got this! β€οΈπŸŽ‰

I remember feeling like I was wrapped up like a pretzel trying to breastfeed in a hospital bed πŸ˜– It makes a difficult skill even more difficult to learn!

If we only had people coming to our houses after delivery to help where you're REALLY going to be breastfeeding. Oh wait... We do have awesome people who do that! πŸ‘©πŸ»β€βš•οΈπŸ€±πŸ½πŸ©Ί

Hire me if this sounds good to you! πŸ’œ

Do you ever feel like an imposter as a mom? Are you currently pregnant and feeling like an imposter soon-to-be mom?

I feel like Imposter Syndrome can enter into almost any facet of our lives 😫 Here you will find some commiseration and ways to help!

I was just listening to a postpartum podcast and the guest, talking about her own postpartum experience, said, "Why in the world do you have to go to so many appointments right after you have a baby? You shouldn't have to leave the house."

She's right. You shouldn't. Your doctors should come to you. You should also get paid maternity leave, automatic mental health check-ins, and expected in-home support for your typical household duties (like cooking, cleaning, and childcare for older children for some period of time). πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸΏπŸ‘πŸ½

Now there are ways to give yourself some of these things. Doulas can help with just about anything you need help with in your home. There are resources like Postpartum Support International that can help you with any postpartum mood problems you may be experiencing. As a pediatrician and lactation breastfeeding medicine specialist and IBCLC, I will take those treks to the pediatrician off your plate by doing house-call pediatrics visits (including full lactation support as needed). I will come to you. πŸ‘©πŸ»β€βš•οΈπŸ€±πŸ½πŸ©Ί

πŸ“£ Let me say that again: I will come to you.

Are you expecting a baby soon, or are you looking for a baby shower gift for a loved one who is expecting? My 4th Trimester Care Package is made for you! Make sure you've got a spot on our schedule - call today to set up a time to get you on the books. πŸ’œ
