Breastfed Babies Normally Don’t Show Signs Of Acid Reflux
I went to visit a friend of mine whom just had a precious baby girl. For whatever reason she decided not to breastfeed, and her daughter has been diagnosed with GERD better known as Acid Reflux.
I had the opportunity to feed her with the bottle formula, and a minute later when she had finished the bottle, the formula was coming back up.
Her mom says her pediatrician has prescribed her Prolisec? I said for a baby! Anyway, the mom said the medicines makes it even worse.
I just wish she would have chosen to breastfeed. The stress of not knowing if your baby is getting enough to eat because after every feeding, it is coming back up is worrisome.
Breastfed babies does not have this severe problems of vomiting their milk back up. Spit ups in small amounts is normal in breastfed babies as well as bottle fed babies.
For whatever, reason there is a tremendous increase in newborn babies with this problem.
I believe the manufactured formulas have to many foreign substances the human body cannot digest because it is not natural and that is the baby’s body way of saying, THIS SHOULD NOT BE IN MY SYSTEM.
IS IT SAFE TO CONSUME CAFFEINE WHILE BREASTFEEDING
Any food or drinks containing caffeine should be limited, as caffeine does pass through the milk.
These include coffee, hot or cold teas and soft drinks. Pay careful attention to the caffeine content.
Soda companies are putting caffeine content in mg(milligrams) instead of mcg(micromilligrams) which is the smaller amount.
The amount of caffeine referred is equal to what is contained in five or fewer 5oz. cups of coffee per day.
Or one can of soda per day.
Keep in mind even with the referred, watch for signs from your baby if that amount is ok. Every BODY is different.
Is It Safe To Take Diet Pills While Breastfeeding
The new year has arrived and everyone is making a new years’ resolution. LOSE WEIGHT
That is the question breastfeeding moms are asking. The good news for breastfeeding moms is you do not need to diet or take diet pills.
Your body will burn plenty calories producing milk and transferring it to your baby. Eat smart and healthy and occasional walks if you have time and energy is ideal.
Stick with breastfeeding for at least a year and you will notice how your body will turn back to its original shape or better if you are consistent with breastfeeding only and not partial breastfeeding.
Listen to your body and follow the signs of what your body crave and need during this time of passage.
It’s ok to enyoy a hot fudge sundae with nuts and chocolate chip cookies occasional because the calories will burn with one breastfeeding.
Again, moderation is the key.
Breastfeeding And Holiday Travel
This year will be history and today will be a gift as you prepare to travel or just have family and friends come over to celebrate the holiday.
Relax and enjoy. No drastic changes are needed for the breastfeeding mom.
Mom will still be able to breastfeed and not miss a beat. Breastfeeding moms have less to prepare for when traveling or staying at home.
There is no need to prepare bottles or fix a diaper bag. Everything is ready and with you!
You never have to worry about did I forget something for the baby.
I found traveling to be less stressful, simple and easier when breastfeeding and traveling.
So enjoy
What Type Of Nursing Bra Is Good For Breastfeeding
I would recommend a 100% all cotton nursing bra for breastfeeding. With all natural cotton your breast nipples will be able to dry easier due to the breathable material. That is very important for your nipples to be able to dry and not maintain moisture.
Try to stay away from polyester and nursing bras with the underwire. The restriction and uncomfortable feeling may interfere with your milk production and supply.
Keeping it simple, natural and comfortable is the key you want to look for when purchasing a good nursing bra.
Preferably white is better, you will not have to worry about the dyes rubbing into your breast skin.
