Wrt here. Some people ask me do fathers ever come to myclass. The answer is yes, not only do fathers come to my class, sometimes it’s the fathers who call me to do home visits. Fathers, Brothers, Sons,Grandfathers, Step fathers have all proven to be strong advocates and supporters of breastfeeding. From men who have sat in NICU’s with shirts open skin to skin with their preemie babies, to men who are right there ready with arms open for you to hand off a baby too, to the men who offer encouragement and support to keep breastfeeding when the going gets tough. To men who are not embarrassed for their baby to be nursed in public. I Solute You!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Write your post here. This a very common concern I hear from mothers. When they breastfeed their infant he seems to be done eating and he falls asleep. They burp him and put him down and he wakes right back up and wants to eat again.This can be very frustrating for parents, it makes a mother feel as if she does not have enough milk and it makes it difficult to get rest. I have found in my work with mothers that for an infant breastfeeding can be a lot of work.Therefore it is very common for infants to get tired and take rest breaks during a feed. This can really give the appearance that the baby is done eating on that side, he is sleeping, or he doesn’t want to eat right now, especially if you hold him in your arms. I call it playing Possum. They look sleep but there not! I would recommend that when the baby stops sucking, but is still latched and you keep talking to him and trying to get him to eat, let him rest for a moment. You may find a couple of moments later he will start sucking again. If he appears to be done and sleeping lay him down next to you (not in your arms). He will probably rest for a few moments and wake back up. When he does I would put him back to the same breast for a while to make sure he finishes that side before switching. Also when switching breast, I would allow a few moments in between breast so he can wake up and be ready to eat. Otherwise if you switch right from one breast to the other you will get a sleepy baby who latches and stops eating right away. If you let him rest a few minutes and wake he will latch and eat better from the second breast. If you have to hold him to keep him from waking, he is not sleep. If he still seems hungry go ahead and latch him back on. Remember that some days he will eat more than others. The best way to increase your milk supply is to empty the breast. If you feel you are not making enough milk pump to empty after breastfeeding. If you get an ounce or two more out you know the baby could have eaten more. If you do not get more out pump for a few minutes anyway to send a message to your body to increase your supply. And call me! |

Hay Everybody sorry I haven't bloged in a while but we have been soo busy. It became clear right away that a small private practice is gonna be too hard without some funding, so we have decided to become a non-profit organization. I have been choosing my board members, and finalizing our Mission Statement, our Core Values and Guiding Principles, which is really hard to do! We have a meeting coming in January to get that ball running. The Lord has blessed me to have wonderful friends who know a lot about non-profits, and I'm so greatful cause I know breastfeeding but becoming a non-profit is out of my scope. Our Grand Opening is on Saturday January 21, 2012 so keep your ears and eyes open for more information on that. Our Website has up to 1700 hits and growing daily. We have added two new pages to our website where you can purchase our Hand made one of a kind jewelery or Logo items, Thanks Pay pal. We can easily be found on the Internet thru over 20 search profiles and that number is growing Daily. |

Well today I feel complexed. I'm dealing with the parts of building a business I do not know anything about. Do I want to be come a for profit business or do I become a non-profit corporation. Either way we can make money but if we are a for- profit corporation I will have a lot more of the responsibility and liability on me. Also if I go for profit now I will not be able to change it easily later. If I decide to become a non- profit corporation then I'm looking at around $3,000 an a lot of work building a board of directors and bylaws and all that stuff. Then there will be a whole bunch of politics and other peoples opinions. But I will be able to get grants and tax breaks. I just wanna be a small private practice. This part is confusing. Whew! I'm scratching my head y'all. If you could see my room we have big posted notes all over the walls we been brain storming and working to get this business going. So say a prayer for us. If you know any pregnant people give the my number. If you know anything about business and can offer me some advice please call me. Thanks for Visiting! |
