Leandri van der Berg - Lactation Support Provider

🍼I have had 6 little ones in the last two weeks, who struggled with taking the bottle.

This puts an immense amount of stress on mommies who have to go back to work soon.

My for this ... Find the sweet spot.

🍬Between 4-6 weeks even upto 10 weeks, it is still relatively easy to introduce bottle. After that, it can become difficult.

As soon as breastfeeding is well established, then you can gently start to express. Start offering bottle, with a wide neck teat, and paced feeding. Ideally, after baby wakes up from a nap.

The "don't express or introduce a bottle before 6 weeks" phrase, is a general rule. But, working closely with a LC is advised. There are ALWAYS exeptions to this rule.

🚨If you are new to the expressing journey and need support, or wondering about bottle introduction, feel free to contact me for a consult.

👅This is probably the most asked question by new mommies.

And I am so happy and grateful for the most, up-to-date, evidence-based research, that shows.. NO, not all T. T's need to be surgically released!!

So, what do I look for?

I look at the oral function (latch and positioning also). And, if a tongue tie with functional complications, causes compensations, only then do we address it. And not always surgery first.

If your baby shows some COMPENSATIONS, please get into contact with me.

*compensations can be due to less optimal latch and positioning aswell.

💕Sometimes all that is needed is a small tweak, some anticipatory guidance and confirmation that you are doing fantastic!!
