Whether it is your first time breastfeeding or you have had experience, remember to take it one feeding at a time. Don't worry if it doesn't come naturally at first; it's a learning process for both you and your baby. You are exactly what your baby needs, and with patience and practice, you'll find a rhythm that works for both of you. Remember, every feeding is a new opportunity to bond and connect with your little one, so take a deep breath, relax, and trust in your abilities. You got this! 💕👶

A review article examined the role of International Board Certified Lactation Consultant support in outpatient settings after birth. One of the studies included in this review was Dr. Witt's article "Integrating routine lactation consultant support into a pediatric practice." This study, along with the others 6 studies analyzed in the review article supports the findings that early IBCLC support within the first 2 weeks postpartum improves breastfeeding duration and exclusivity.
As we approach World Breastfeeding Week, and work to "Strengthen What Works," encouraging primary care practices to integrate breastfeeding support into their outpatient visits is critical.
We are proud to collaborate with Senders Pediatrics and offer IBCLC care to all breastfeeding families at their initial newborn visits after hospital discharge!

It’s a hot one today!

Have you ever wondered if your baby needs extra water? 💦

With temperatures rising in the summer, it's natural to wonder if your baby needs extra water to stay hydrated.

If your baby is under six months old and exclusively breastfed, the answer is no. Breastmilk is made up of about 90% water, and it adjusts to meet your baby's needs, even in hot weather. Offering water before six months can actually interfere with exclusive breastfeeding and fill your baby up on something with no nutritional value.

The best way to keep your baby hydrated in the heat is simply to breastfeed more often.

Baby-Friendly designated facilities are committed to giving families the evidence-based support they need to meet their feeding goals and give their baby the best start.

Happy Father’s Day!

Research shows dads can make a big difference in whether an infant is breastfed and put to sleep safely. And kids with involved dads often develop better language skills and have improved mental health than those with less involved dads. Your baby needs you now and for their whole lives. Happy Father's Day! 🧡
