We often hear the phrase 'Nose to Nipple' when people are supporting us with latching, but I've always thought 'nipple up nose' more accurate for the way we nee...d to get them angled. Then Lotus Midwife said this phrase 'Chin to skin' and I LOVE it. Yes, we do want the nipple high enough up the face that it's by the nose (or even higher!) but for a good angle for latching we actually want the chin firmly planted on the breast. This also helps stop the desperate rooting and encourages arms out of the way.

Happy Wellness Wendesday! Did you know Oat Milk can help build your milk supply? Here is our recipe for Oat Milk: 1. Use 1 cup of rolled oats simmered in 10 (t...en) cups of water stirring for 30 minutes. 2. Strain off the oats and drink the milk. You can sweeten if you like with honey or maple syrup. A fun twist on this is to put the milk in a pot and add slices of ginger and cinnamon sticks for a warm postpartum healing drink!

3 Ways to Maximize Breastmilk During Pregnancy. 1. Moringa is a lovely green powder that has all essential 8 amino acids(protein) and has been known in other co...untries to be a support to making milk. Using 2 to 4 teaspoons a day in the last 3 weeks of pregnancy and then during breastfeeding can support a rich supply. 2. Goats Rue is an herb that helps encourage milk duct growth, supporting more milk-producing glands, and is safe to take during the last 3 weeks of pregnancy and on to breastfeeding. 3. The last 2 to 3 weeks of pregnancy you can hand express drops of colostrum and draw them up into 1ml syringes and store them in the freezer to give to your baby after they are born. This early expression of colostrum helps to tell the body to make more milk early on after the baby is born.

Got milk?? We have a sweet little babe who would love some extra breast milk. If you have frozen milk less than a year old please let Kaleem know 916-412-6443. Thanks everyone. !!

5 Reasons to Use a Belly Band in Pregnancy: 1. Backache 2. Supporting a pendulous uterus. 3. Supporting a good-sized baby.... 4. Helping a baby stay in the pelvis after a version. 5. To support a uterus if you have diastasis recti. I like Fit Splint this is the most comfortable and versatile. (Shown in the photo!) NOTE: Always where the bandcenterin your stomach to bring the baby into your body. The belt is not there to hold the baby up.

Reasons parents choose to circumcise their sons and why they're incorrect: "Its cleaner." - Actually no, its not. The foreskin is fused to the glans until pub...erty leaving nothing to clean whatsoever until 10-12 years old. When it does detach around that time, you wash it like the rest of your body. "It reduces the risk of UTI'S." - The risk reduction is LESS than 1%. Not significant enough to amputate healthy functioning tissue. Not to mention, that reduction only applies to infancy. Not adulthood. As adults, intact and circumcised males have the same risk of developing urinary tract infections. *Allowing a circumcised bleeding penis to heal in a diaper full of urine and feces increases risk of infection. "It reduces the risk of penile cancer." -Aside from the fact that the American Cancer Society has already spoken out about that not being true, let's pretend for a minute that it is. Penile cancer is already so rare, that your son has a better chance of developing breast cancer than he does of ever developing penile cancer. Penile cancer includes the shaft and glans. The foreskin makes absolutely no difference. "It reduces the risk of STDs and HIV" - The only thing that prevents STDs are CONDOMS. Not circumcision. In actuality, the foreskin has been shown to have cells that act as part of the immune system in protecting against STDs. "His penis should match his dad's." - Ew. No it shouldn't. Your son will never notice a difference in his and his dad's penis unless your family is keen on whipping it out at thanksgiving and comparing. "Circumcised penises just look better." - All penises look the same when erect, intact or not. Aside from the fact that the glans on a circumcised male is keratinized and "dried out" therefore looking smaller than it really should. Not to mention pushing your sexual preferences on your son's body is pedophilia. Now let's look at the facts: A baby boy dies every 2 days as a direct result of a non medically necessary circumcision. Thousands of men will suffer long term complications including meatitis, erectile dysfunction, painful erections, diminished sexual pleasure, rough jack-hammering sex on their partners to achieve orgasm and more. Over 250,000 men in the US are currently restoring their foreskin and wish they had been left intact from birth. Countless men as adults have sued their parents and practitioners for performing their circumcision without their consent as babies. The lack of foreskin will affect every circumcised male and their partner's intimate life. The glans are supposed to be moist and covered, not dried out and keratinized. ....Still think it's a good idea? If anyone has any questions and would like more information, feel free to message me. This post is not meant to shame circumcised males or parents that made the decision to do so. It is meant to raise awareness & inform others of the risks. You can regret making the decision and share what you have learned so the cycle stops. Most women and men are screaming women’s rights but yet cutting off their little boys body parts, where are their rights? Who will stand up for them? As mothers of boys, it's your responsibility to be their voice! Huge thanks to Tiffany Maillet and David Candela for putting this together!
