Six Things You Should Know to Survive Your Baby’s First Days

A few years ago, when I started my practice, I noticed that I was getting only emergency calls from mothers experiencing different problems. The work in private practice is very different than the hospital one. At the hospital, I used to witness the first latch of many babies, and I used to talk to them about the do’s and don’ts of breastfeeding.

Unfortunately, I don’t have many opportunities anymore to tell mommies what to expect in the first days and weeks or what they can do to prevent future problems. But if there’re any future moms or very new moms reading this, I can assure you that you will need to know these six essential things to survive your baby’s first days of life.

1. Don’t forget to do Skin to Skin with your baby within the first hour after birth, and for the next 24 hours.

Studies have shown that early Skin to Skin practices increase the levels of oxytocin in mothers and babies and facilitates the latch.

The Six Musts for Breastfeeding

This year, World Breastfeeding Week took us in unimaginable circumstances. The whole world is struggling to adapt to a new reality.

I had big plans to celebrate this week. Cool campaigns to raise awareness, including gatherings, pictures, and videos. However, COVID-19 came to change our plans.

I can't deny that I was frustrated and off of ideas. But, then I thought about how much connected I've been with my family, my friends, and my clients, more than ever before. Maybe this is not a time to show and do, but to communicate and deliberate.

I decided to pick the strongest statements in the breastfeeding world and bring them to my platform to raise some thoughts and open discussions.

How to Choose the Right Pump for Me?

I see pumps all the time in my job; I listen to mothers and how they feel about so many different brands; I watch videos, read manuals, and talk to companies’ experts… And I know choosing the right pump for you could become a real challenge. Based on my work experience, and also as a mother, I thought it would be helpful to share some tips and things to consider when you pick a pump…

6 Tips for Choosing the Right Pump

  1. The first thing to learn is what kinds of pumps are available in the market. The pumps are categorized by level of power and efficiency to remove the milk, in the following order, from lowest to highest:

    -  Manual pumps
    -  Electrical single pumps
    -  Electrical double pumps
    -  Hospital rated pumps (which are also double electric pumps)

Postpartum Mood Disorders

WHEN IT’S MORE THAN THE “BABY BLUES”

Here’s a fun fact: there are just shy of 4 million babies born every year in the United States.

That means almost 4 million women become mothers or add to their families, annually.

A not-so-fun fact: of those 4 million women, as many as 1 in 5 will experience some type of perinatal mood and anxiety disorder. Furthermore, it is thought 7 in 10 women hide or downplay their symptoms.

Despite this, postpartum mental health is not discussed nearly enough.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends in order to optimize the health of women and infants, postpartum care should become an ongoing process, rather than a single encounter, with services and support tailored to each woman’s individual needs—and we agree wholeheartedly.
