I have a lump in the breast: diagnostic tests and breastfeeding

Comments 0 Comment

Suppose a nursing mother feels a lump in her breast. Once it has been ruled out that this is a circumstance related to breastfeeding, the mother should see a healthcare provider or gynecologist expert in breast pathologies and have the appropriate diagnostic tests. But when this process begins, many questions arise, and often, mothers are invited to stop breastfeeding altogether at this point, either before or during the tests. Today we answer the most common questions about this case, so…

My baby won’t let go of my breast and feeds constantly

Comments 0 Comment

Mothers are told over and over again that breastfeeding needs to be offered on demand. What does this mean? Every time babies ask for or seem to want breast milk, you give them access to your breast so they can feed for as long as they need and as many times as they need, without any limits. What demand for breastfeeding can you expect from your baby? The expectations of breastfeeding demand you might have before becoming a mother are…

From side to side: a never-ending tale

When you are breastfeeding a newborn baby, you are the mother, and you are in charge. It may sound radical when you hear it like that, but what we mean is that it is you, the mother, who decides which breast to give your baby each time. Just by feeling both your breasts a little, you can simply decide which side’s turn it is. Your baby needs to follow your decision and take whatever side they are offered. If you…

Relactation is the process of restoring a mother’s breast milk supply after it has decreased or disappeared altogether. For various reasons, mothers may wish to stop supplementing the artificial formula they give their infants and attempt to resume exclusive breastfeeding. Correcting the cause of relactation Before starting with the relactation process, the causes that led to the initiation of supplementing formula must be investigated as in some situations, it will be very unlikely that relactation can be achieved. These situations…

My baby pulls away from the breast when milk sprays out – oversupply

The fountain in the picture is in the city of Nuremberg (Germany) and depicts the six Virtues: Faith, Hope, Charity, Courage, Temperance, and Patience, crowned by the figure of Justice. All 6 statues have “milk” in the form of water coming out of their breasts and spraying out. Most women are worried about having too little breast milk, so this amount of milk is almost everyone’s dream: a free flow of milk sprays! Many mothers may wish for this, but…

My baby wants to breastfeed constantly

Although you may have heard that babies breastfeed constantly, when your baby arrives, it may actually surprise you how often they nurse. Usually, we are simply not prepared for this! Babies breastfeed for many months, from 8 to 12 times in any 24 hours, which means that you will spend many hours with your baby glued to your breast. You also have to remember that babies take a long time to complete a feed during their first months. They can…

Is it ok to give a breastfed baby an occasional bottle of formula?

Comments 0 Comment

Mothers often ask in the LactApp if it is okay to occasionally give their breastfed baby a bottle. Here we won’t talk about returning to (paid) work, which implies a change in family organization, but about those punctual times, when you need cover for a specific occasion: a meeting, a dinner with friends, a short visit, or a doctor’s appointment for example. Official WHO health guidelines recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of a baby’s life. This means,…

“My daughter is one month old and exclusively breastfed. She has been doing strange things when she is breastfeeding for a few days, but before she used to fall asleep and be full. It has been one week now that she has been very restless; she rolls up, makes a lot of noises as if she wants to poop and strains, and sometimes she spits up milk. Then, when she is at the breast, she starts out very calm, but…

Do I have to wake up my baby to burp?

Do I have to wake up my baby to burp?

Comments 0 Comment

It happens very often, at the beginning of breastfeeding, that doubts arise regarding if you need to put your baby to burb after breastfeeding. But in fact, you don’t need to burp breastfed babies at all after each feed. This is an idea that comes directly from bottle feeding, where babies do swallow air and, therefore, you do need to put a bottle-fed baby to burp after they had a bottle. When a baby breastfeeds well, which means that the…

My baby fights breastfeeding

It is very common for mothers to feel at some point during their breastfeeding journey that their baby fights breastfeeding. When a baby behaves in this way and is fuzzy at the breast, all alarms immediately go off, and there are a thousand thoughts you could have related to this behavior: maybe I don’t have enough milk, my baby doesn’t like my milk, my baby rejects me or my baby doesn’t like it and so on. When a baby does…
