Book Description

Many mothers stop breastfeeding within the first 6 weeks, and many among them say that they wanted to breastfeed longer. This book is a guide to rebuilding your milk supply after a gap in breastfeeding. It doesn't matter whether you stopped breastfeeding a week or even several years ago. It doesn't matter if you want to return to breastfeeding the same baby, relactate to feed an adopted baby, or any other circumstance. The process is the same, and relactation IS possible. This book will guide you through: -The practical steps including expressing and information on medication which may help. -How to safely and slowly reduce bottles as your milk supply grows. -Tips for managing a pumping regime while also parenting and juggling day-to-day life. -Supporting the baby's return to the breast. Lucy Ruddle is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, a Breastfeeding Counsellor, and holds a diploma in child psychology. She began training in breastfeeding support after successfully relactating to breastfeed her eldest son. She has been supporting parents through the process of rebuilding their milk supplies for years and is passionate about helping mothers through the emotional side of relactation as well as the practical steps.

Book Description

Many families find themselves feeding their baby a combination of breastmilk and formula-either by choice or through circumstance. Despite this being a very common way of infant feeding, there is a lack of non-judgemental, empathic, evidence-based information available to support parents. In this book you will find: -How to choose, prepare, feed and store formula-including the big questions- how much and how often?! -How to switch between at-breast feeding and topping up in ways which can help to reduce the chances of bottle preference. -Quick glance "how to combi feed" sections for many scenarios ranging from not wanting to breastfeed in public or to give Mum an occasional "night off" to regular daily bottles due to weight gain worries or long term medical conditions. -How to care for your breasts and maintain a comfortable milk supply while mixed feeding. -How to avoid the "top-up trap" of giving more and more formula when you only wanted to introduce a bottle once a day. -Rebuilding a milk supply if you want combi-feeding to be temporary. -Basic breastfeeding support and information to help you overcome the most common causes of unwanted combination feeding-including the myths around frequent feeding and low milk supply, and how to overcome pain plus where you can get extra help. -Real-life stories and quotes from families who have been where you are now. -A section for premature babies or those with extra needs. This book won't tell you to stop combination feeding. It trusts you as the expert on your child and situation. It gives you all the options so that you can feel empowered to feed your baby with confidence. Lucy Ruddle is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Holistic Sleep Coach, and international speaker on parent-centred care in the lactation field.

Book Description

When breastfeeding does not go as hoped, mothers often have feelings of loss, sadness, anger, fear, failure, guilt and self-blame. Mothers then say they are heart-broken, crushed, and even devastated. These painful emotions double a mother's risk for postpartum depression. Yet, our healthcare system does not have guidelines in place to help mothers prevent the escalating emotions of Breastfeeding Grief. We have no "plan B" which guides mothers to promote optimal bonding when their breastfeeding goals are not met. And our mental health experts do not understand how to guide mothers in their emotional healing, so mothers can fully enjoy their baby with renewed confidence. Hilary Jacobson, author of "Mother Food: A Breastfeeding Diet Guide with Lactogenic Foods and Herbs" is a holistic breastfeeding specialist and clinical hypnotherapist. Her easy-to-read book "Healing Breastfeeding Grief" contains the essential information mothers need to navigate their way back into a positive sense of self, and an intimate connection and bond with their baby.

Book Description

The hot topic these days is foods that do more than just nourish your body. Antioxidants, prebiotics, probiotics- all are in the news. Through the ages, certain foods and herbs have been promoted to new mothers to increase their milk supplies. These foods and herbs, called galactogogues, likely increase milk production by increasing prolactin or oxytocin to initiate the breastmilk letdown reflex and aid in breastmilk ejection. Pharmacist Frank Nice and his wife, Myung Hee, have pulled together over 200 recipes featuring major and minor galactogogues in this cookbook. Dr. Nice includes dosage, uses, and cautions about each of the galactogogues. They have included many old family favorites passed down from their Polish and Korean ancestors. Some recipes include unusual ingredients - Stinging Nettle Pesto with Ravioli, Corn Bread with Red Clover Blossoms, Hot Chocolate Mousse with Marshmallow Root Fluff. Others have ingredients that are quite common - Pineapple Raisin Oat Bran Muffin, Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Garlic and Olive Oil, Avocado Shrimp Salad, Chicken Tacos. All have been taste-tested and confirmed to be delicious! If you are a new mom struggling with milk supply or if you just want to insure that your milk supply stays strong, try some of these recipes. Even if you aren't breastfeeding, the recipes in this cookbook are worth trying!
