Do I have low breast milk supply?

2 January, 2021 LactApp Comments 0 Comment

Usually all mothers have the optimal amount of milk for their babies, but there are situations where mothers may have a low milk production, which can interfere with the baby’s growth. Low milk supply exists and there are mothers who are unable to maintain exclusive breastfeeding. Many women desperately seek the cause of their low milk production and do not always find the answers. To understand hypogalactia (low milk production) you should know first, that it is multifactorial, that is…

How to Give a Bottle the Baby-Led Way: Paced Bottle Feeding

8 September, 2020 LactApp Comments 2 comments

When we think of giving our baby milk other than breastfeeding, the first thing that comes to our mind is a bottle. But the bottle as a method of feeding and it’s content, in the case of artificial formula, can interfere with your breastfeeding journey and cause difficulties. Your baby may end up rejecting the breast afterwards. Even though nipple confusion is a controversial topic, we often see babies who have difficulty sucking at the breast after being fed from…

AND I DID IT – MARCH 8th WOMEN’S DAY

6 March, 2020 LactApp Comments 0 Comment

We have been thinking a long time about how to prepare for this day, a day of mobilizations, of demands, of feelings, a day full of sisterhood and feminism. Because of this, we wanted to do something different, something special, something that would support and encourage us. In 2017 the hashtag #MeToo movement was launched. A concept under which many women shared their experiences about all kind of violence (sexual, gender, obstetric…), harassment, fear, sexual abuse,… which they suffered (or…

It is important to know that little or no interest in eating (or small amounts) in an infant one year old or older may be…

If I breastfeed my baby, can I take medication?

16 January, 2020 LactApp Comments 0 Comment

Breastfeeding mothers get sick and breastfeeding does not prevent them from becoming ill as the rest of the population. There is a great fear of medication during breastfeeding because there is a belief that the drugs the mother takes go directly into her breast milk and reach the baby in their entirety. This has two clear negative effects: mothers either do not take the medication they need or they stop breastfeeding, partially or totally, to take their medication. The lack…
