Breastfeeding Basics and Tips
Understanding the Fundamentals of Breastfeeding Breastfeeding might seem straightforward, but many new moms find it challenging. Patience is essential, and being well-prepared can make the process smoother. Here, we break down the basics to help you get ready for this journey. The Three Stages of Breast Milk Colostrum: The First Stage When your baby is born, your body produces colostrum, a clear or yellowish liquid packed with nutrients, proteins, and vitamins. This small amount is perfect for newborns, helping to protect their digestive tract and immune system. Transitional Milk: The Second Stage Regular breastfeeding will stimulate the production of transitional milk, which appears around the third to fifth day. It looks like a mix of milk and orange juice, rich in lactose, fat, and calories. Mature Milk: The Third Stage By the second week, mature milk replaces transitional milk. This pale, sometimes bluish milk provides all the nutrients, fat, and proteins your baby needs, adjusting its water content in hot weather and boosting antibodies when needed. Achieving a Good Latch Proper latching is crucial to prevent discomfort. A good latch covers both the nipple and the areola and shouldn't be painful. Here’s how to ensure a successful latch: Positioning Your Baby Hold your baby tummy-to-tummy with your breasts, keeping their head aligned with their body. Mouth to Nipple Tickle your baby’s lips with your nipple or express a bit of milk to encourage the rooting reflex. When your baby opens wide, bring them to your breast. Ensuring Proper Attachment A proper latch involves the baby’s chin and nose touching your breast. If necessary, adjust the bottom lip to ensure it isn’t tucked in. Watch for a steady suck-swallow-breathe pattern. Trying Different Positions If you encounter difficulties, experiment with different breastfeeding positions like the football hold or side-lying. Consult a lactation consultant if needed. Maintaining Comfort and Milk Supply Relax and Feed on Demand Stay calm and relaxed to enhance milk production. Allow your baby to feed without time limits, ensuring one breast is fully drained before switching to the other. Recognizing Hunger Cues Signs of hunger include nuzzling your breasts, rooting, sucking on hands or clothing, and making lip-smacking noises. Crying is a late hunger cue. Feeding Frequency Newborns typically feed 8-12 times a day. Some may need to be woken up for feeds if they sleep for more than six hours. Patience and Persistence Breastfeeding takes time and practice. Be patient with yourself and your baby, seeking professional help if needed. With time, breastfeeding will become more natural and enjoyable for both of you. By following these tips, you can create a calm and successful breastfeeding experience, eventually making it look effortless.

Matrescence - The Birth of a Mother
Written by Kylie Stowe - www.nourishedclinic.co.nz Matrescence - The Birth of a Mother The first few months postpartum are beautiful and gruelling all at the same time. This transformative phase in a woman's life is referred to as Matrescence, or the fourth trimester. Not only has a new baby been born, but so have you - the new mother. The expectations of the modern mother are often overwhelming, we are expected to get back to ‘normal’ as fast as possible, to cook, clean, entertain guests, breastfeed, attend coffee groups, get back in shape and return to work as soon as possible. All while navigating the new role of motherhood, healing postpartum, bonding with our beautiful new baby and making time for the other relationships in our life. This often leaves new mothers exhausted and at times feeling like they are failing. Many traditional cultures approach this postpartum period in a vastly different way. It is a time where the new mother stays home and is cared for, she is given the time and space to rest, recuperate, heal, nourish and bond with her new baby. The new mother is fed warming and nourishing meals such as soups and tea which assist in healing and establishing a healthy milk supply, this often continues for at least the first forty days postpartum. Being a mother of four myself and living away from our families, the early postpartum phase was at times really hard and lonely. As much as I would have loved to have 40 days of being cared for, it just wasn't realistic or possible. I thought about this a lot, knowing this is the same for many of the mothers I work with. With this in mind I considered ways I could nurture myself and my new baby. Good nutrition is hugely important for healing post birth and to support the radical shift in hormones, sleep deprivation and subsequent exhaustion. As a pregnant woman it is common to stay well-nourished during pregnancy when you are growing a baby, yet incredibly common for a new mother to start dieting soon after birth to get her body back. One thing I always like to remind new mothers who are breastfeeding is that you are still nourishing a baby, they are just outside of your womb now. Nutrient intake is still just as important in the postpartum phase as it was during pregnancy, a mother's nutrient status directly affects milk quality and quantity and her own wellbeing. This highlights the importance of not restricting food intake but instead focusing on a diet rich in nutritious whole and unprocessed foods. Meal preparation really is a life saver in those early months to ensure you are adequately fuelled. Take family and friends up on the offers of meals, babysitting older children and housework. You do not need to do it all, I found personally, that some of the most unrealistic expectations were the ones I placed on myself. During those early months focus on warming slow cooked meals, such as casseroles, stews, broths and soups, these are nutrient packed and easy on the digestive system. The early postpartum weeks are a nutritionally expensive time where you are recovering from pregnancy, labour and birth, which is comparative to running a marathon, and also possibly healing from a caesarean or episiotomy. Your nutrient and calorie requirements are actually higher now than they were during pregnancy. This is also an incredibly important time to stay adequately hydrated, as a rule I made sure that every time I breastfed my baby I would have a glass of water or breastfeeding tea (I love Artemis breastfeeding tea) then once a day would have a lactation smoothie and warm cup of bone broth (the Nutra Organics powder is really convenient). Incorporating all of these different things means you get the added benefits of nutrients and fluid to help you stay hydrated and nourished. You will probably be told countless times to sleep when your baby sleeps. This can be really hard when you can think of a million other things to do - hello warm shower and hot cup of coffee! But it really is important to get in as much rest as possible because the prolonged sleep deprivation really does catch up on you eventually. If you find you really struggle to nap you could try a short guided meditation to relax and take some time to simply breathe, the Headspace app is great for this and offers short 3-5 minute guided meditations. The recipes in the previous blog posts are great for this postpartum period. The recipes that follow are great quick options for breakfast that can be prepared in advance and kept in the fridge to just grab when needed. From one mother to another don’t forget just how important it is to care for yourself as you do your baby. As the saying goes you can’t pour from an empty cup. If you are interested in a deeper look into the importance of this postpartum phase I highly recommend the book ‘The First Forty Days: The Essential Art of Nourishing the New Mother’ it is also packed with lots of nutrient rich yummy recipes.
