Breast pumps: Recommendations for correct use

Comments 0 Comment

Breast pumps can be a great ally in the breastfeeding journey of a woman; they can help to overcome certain circumstances or specific complications and help to maintain deferred breastfeeding (exclusive pumping) in the case of mother-infant separation, when the mother goes back to work or is useful for other reasons. Nevertheless, using a breast pump is not necessary in all cases as not all breastfeeding women need to have and use a breast pump, and so each case should be…

Separation of mother and baby in the first hours after birth

Comments 0 Comment

After birth, the newborn (NB) expects to be reunited with their mother. But what happens when a separation of mother and baby in the first hours after birth is necessary? The first contact is made through skin-to-skin contact with the double objective of favoring the adaptation of the newborn and initiating breastfeeding if the mother desires to do so. However, there are situations that prevent this skin-to-skin contact from happening or extend over time, usually due to a separation between…

Infant daytime sleep

Comments 0 Comment

There are few publications on physiological infant daytime sleep in the context of breastfeeding. Sleep is one of the topics of most concern to families. Common expressions such as “sleeping like a baby” are a clear example of the fact that babies are often thought to have deep and continuous sleep.

Why a neonatal speech therapist visit is essential after cutting a tongue-tie

Comments 0 Comment

It is well known that ankyloglossia can hinder stomatognathic functions such as sucking, chewing, swallowing, speaking, and breathing. Although frenectomy (tongue-tie release) is an effective solution to free the tongue from the floor of the mouth, this outpatient procedure is sometimes only the initial step in the tongue rehabilitation process. The tongue rehabilitation process aims to improve the tongue’s tone and proprioception and requires expert help from a neonatal speech therapist. When the tongue is released through this procedure, the…

Skin-to-skin contact and safety

Comments 0 Comment

Practicing skin-to-skin contact is not exclusive to the early hours of postpartum, but this can be performed at any time in the newborn’s life. It is a practice that is considered safe under normal conditions, but it is not without risk, with sudden unexpected postnatal collapse (SUPC) being the most worrisome. The presence of a pathology or medications are the main factors that increase the risk of this condition. Therefore, it is essential to perform skin-to-skin contact after birth safely,…

Colostrum harvesting before birth

Colostrum harvesting before birth

Comments 0 Comment

Colostrum harvesting before birth is a method that allows small amounts of colostrum to be collected during pregnancy, which, after the birth of the baby, can be given if necessary. This avoids the use of formula milk when supplementing is necessary. History of colostrum harvesting Although this may seem to be a fairly recent method, it is not. Until the late seventies and eighties, all women were encouraged to collect colostrum in the final stages of their pregnancy. Historically, the…
