Mental health during pregnancy

Mental health during pregnancy

Comments 0 Comment

Today, the 10th of October, is World Mental Health Day, and we wanted to take the opportunity to spotlight the mental health of mothers and, this year, especially, the mental health during pregnancy. Generally, when a woman is pregnant, all questions and resources about her well-being are related to her physical well-being.

Cleft lip or palate and breastfeeding

Comments 0 Comment

How can we maintain (or try to maintain, depending on the severity of the case) lactation in situations of cleft lips, teeth, and palate? What is cleft lip/palate, and how does it affect breastfeeding? During pregnancy, the lips are formed between weeks 4 and 7, and the palate between weeks 6 and 9 of pregnancy. Labial, alveolar and/or palatal clefts occur when the tissues that form these oral structures fail to unite. There is a great variation in the presentation…

Frequently, the differences between lactose intolerance and CMPA, which stands for cow’s milk protein allergy, are not well distinguished.

We recently received the following consultation from a breastfeeding mother. “My one-month-old baby makes a lot of noise when he nurses. It’s like he has a whistling sound from his throat. He is putting on weight, and everything seems to be going well, but that noise seems weird to me, and I don’t know what it is. Can you help me?” Babies often make a…

Until the late seventies and eighties, all women were encouraged to collect colostrum in the final stages of their pregnancy. Historically, the…

Ideas for your baby to return to breastfeed – breastfeeding refusal

Ideas for your baby to return to breastfeed – breastfeeding refusal

Comments 0 Comment

Babies are born to breastfeed, and breastmilk is their basic and primary food in their first two years of life. Therefore, it is not normal or would not be appropriate for a baby to stop breastfeeding on their own before their first birthday. Here, we are not talking about a conscious decision to stop breastfeeding made by the mother, but rather a breastfeeding refusal by the baby. We cannot repeat enough that breastfeeding is a matter of two, mother and…
