💞 Skin-to-skin isn’t just sweet—it’s powerful.

A new study shows that educating both healthcare professionals and parents increases the duration and frequency of skin-to-skin contact in the first 24 hours postpartum.

🔍 Highlights:
✅ Average skin-to-skin time increased from 12.9 to 14.6 hours
✅ Newborns receiving >20 hrs of contact jumped from 33% to 58%
✅ Babies held more often at 2 months

✨ Skin-to-skin helps regulate temperature, boost bonding, support breastfeeding, and may have long-lasting effects on parent-infant connection.

Let’s keep babies close—from the start.

Hey there Mindful Mamas! Gentle reminder that all paperwork needs to be completed prior to your scheduled appointment. You will receive a reminder through MilkNotes portal if paperwork has not been completed
Appointments WILL be canceled if paperwork is not completed. I know how hectic the first few days/weeks are with a newborn however this information is neccesary for me. Don't let this be the reason you delay lactation support!

🔥Exciting new research from Denmark
💧In a randomized controlled study, pregnant mothers were instructed to express colostrum for 10 min 2 × daily from 34 weeks gestation until birth
💧Both the control and experimental group received a prenatal consultation and were followed up to 8 weeks after delivery
💧Researchers outcomes were (1) gestation age at birth and (2) exclusive breastfeeding rates 24h to 8 weeks after birth
💧NO difference in gestation age between intervention and control group
💧Average of 52mL of expressed colostrum was available at birth for most women in then intervention group
💧No difference in breastfeeding rates between groups; no adverse events
💧Researchers state that this information may lead to a study for antenatal colostrum collection for women who are at risk for preterm birth

Clinical implications - Healthy women can start collecting colostrum as early as 34 weeks gestation; they may have up close to 60mL (2 ounces ) of colostrum available to their newborn. This can help in the event of sleepy babies, initial poor latch, jaundice, low blood sugar, excessive weight loss. This practice can also help limit formula supplementation for families who wish to avoid formula.

✨2024✨
When I found out I was pregnant in April 2023, I was honestly worried how I would continue my private practice with a newborn
❤️2024 started off with the arrival of my amazing son and after about 2 months of rest and bonding time, I hit the road with baby in tow. As I have said all year long, the only reason I have been able to support all the wonderful Mindful Mamas is because *you* have all supported me and welcomed (slash tolerated) Spencer into your homes and watched him grow up in my office❤️
I am so excited for what 2025 holds and how the community we are building will continue to grow

Happy New Year💫

With much love,

Stephanie
