Good Morning! I hope to find everyone happy that it is FRIDAY!! 🙂

This is an incredibly complex question. It is not a “one size fits all” answer. In general, introducing a bottle to your breastfed baby will depend on how often you are home, and when you are returning to work. If your baby is not having any latch issues, then introducing a bottle can be done as soon as breastfeeding habits have been established.

For me, with my 2nd DD (3rd child), I had to return to work at 8 weeks. So I started pumping at 3 weeks, to prepare so she would only have breast milk and not have to be given formula. I was able to pump 3-4 ounces each time from each breast. So I would take the 3-4 ounces and give it to my husband in a bottle to feed her, while I was in the other room pumping the 3-4 ounces that I would freeze. I always looked at a picture of her, whether at home pumping or at work. It seemed to help me a lot. (this was also before I discovered my lactation cookies) If you do not need to return to work, and just want to be able to go out with your husband and have a sitter, I would introduce a bottle no sooner than 8 weeks, and only once or twice a week, so that you know the baby will know *how* to use it, and not feel too weird because it was different than your actual breast and nipple. For my 3rd DD (4th child) well, now that she is almost 3 years old~ I can understand why she did this, SHE is our stubborn child! BUT she would not take a bottle- she was bound and determined not to take a bottle. Luckily for me, I was able to become a SAHM after her birth on October 26th, 2009.

There was not a need to get her to take one, but when we did, it was hard. My oldest DD was helpful in taking her and trying the bottle from time to time. One thing I would say, and caution about, is to make sure that someone *other* than the Mommy feeds the bottle. So to simplify the answer, *IF* you are going back to work- between 8-12 weeks, start introducing a bottle about 4 weeks. Pumping and storing can start at 3-5 weeks. Make sure before pumping you have a comfortable chair, a pic of baby, massage your breasts before starting, and plenty of water to drink.

ALWAYS remember~ You can do it!!

“Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

Good Morning everyone! I have been MIA for quite some time, and have been so busy lately making those delicious lactation cookies that everyone loves, especially the babies! LOL

So, I have been getting some questions regarding how to boost your supply, so I thought this would be a great topic of posting….

So let’s start with what you shouldn’t do. Sometimes it is easier to get rid of the negative. AND because it is a shorter list, it is easier to remember.

Try NOT to stress about Making Breast Milk. Our bodies normally produce milk no matter what- it always happens if you have your breasts. Breasts were made to produce Breast Milk and feed your baby/ies. So do not stress about it.

Also increasing your water intake will help as well. If you can drink at least 64 ounces of water every day, this is a good place to start. Remember that you are burning some calories and if you are a little underweight, to begin with, make sure you are getting some healthy fats in what you are eating. This could be key to a low supply….some women are so active and their metabolism runs fast, so the body gets rid of it quicker and with making breast milk, it will help to take in some Omega 3’s in there.

Also, remember that you CAN do it!!

Fenugreek, even though there are conflicting reports of taking it in pregnancy- is false….unless you eat it in large amounts. For instance, I use this herb, which I use in baking my lactation cookies, has been around for centuries. You would have to eat 160 cookies at one time to get that amount in your system. Did you know that Indian dishes and other Middle Eastern dishes are made with Fenugreek? I have a bunch of Indian friends and when they are pregnant….Do you think they stop eating curry- NO. 🙂

Here are some things that will decrease your supply…eating or drinking peppermint oil. This is found in things like “Altoids” , and in teas. Also, parsley…that little herb- it hurts when eaten in large amounts.

Breast Pumping tips:

When you pump, try and bring a picture of your LO in the room with you. On your phone, or a regular picture. Look at the picture while pumping. Massage will also help. Try massaging your breast that you are pumping in circles starting near your armpit and working toward your nipples. It will help. Also, you can buy a breast pump. Here is a list of some top-quality breast pump available on this website.

Best time to pump:

Early morning. I started a stash in my deep chest freezer when my kids were 3-5 weeks old. I would feed the baby at about 4-6am, and then I would wait about 45 minutes and go and pump in another room. That seems to be the best time to get the most out. I also pumped before bedtime. I would feed at 7 pm and then pump after waiting for an hour. That way I would pump and the baby was content and then the following feeding I would just feed as usual. So as far as my breasts were concerned I just fed every hour for 3 hours.

If you are still having some pumping issues, you can take a nice hot bath or shower to help you relax. It all helps. BUT please do not worry! You can do this! Great Job Mama!!

I hope this has helped you!

BY now I am sure many of you have read about an Applebee’s Neighborhood restaurant in GA asking a Mom who was breastfedding to leave or feed in the bathroom? So, I watched her on Katie Couric show, and also the professor who nursed her baby in class (covered up) who had to defend themselves from critics. WHY? Why would we, as woman have to defend this act of love with feeding our babies? It is the law~ We are protected by the law. Most states have protection against the harrassment of this. It is really unbelievable to me, to be at this point. With all the research and all the doctors, scientists, lactation consultants, etc who will say how great breastfeeding is, and that is the best for our babies, and our own bodies. AND yet, we are still fighting for equality to feed our babies! My head is spinning right now, because of this. I completely understand how some may not want to watch a Mom breastfeed while they eat their lunch, etc. I understand this, but asking a Mom to leave, or nurse in the smelly, yucky, disgusting bathroom….is just plain STUPID! I have to say that those types of people who will just dismiss the act of nurturing, loving, feeding your hungry baby, are very uneducated! The other thing that really bothers me, is do people realize how hard it is to breastfeed? How hard it is at first, the pain, the tiredness that comes with a new baby? Women push through it, and do the best they know that is out there, and then they have to face this discrimination?! I really hope that one day, this will be history!! Ban together….Keep up the good work Mama’s! You are awesome.

So this coming Saturday (September 29th) at 1PM at most Applebee’s Restaurants, there is a friendly protest~ called a NURSE IN. Please if you can support one, it really helps! Below is the laws that protect us. Please find your state on there, and feel empowered to breastfeed your baby~ for as long as you want, where you want, and when you want!
