What a gorgeous day to be helping our patients at the clinic 😊. Especially when we see them for a follow up consult and we find out that with our guidance, expertise and of course the parents hard work, the issues have resolved and breastfeeding is successful 🙏.
This beautiful breastfeeding dyad came to us 2 weeks ago. The mother was experiencing severe ni**le pain that also resulted in vasospasm of the breast. The baby was not getting enough at each feeding, and inspite of gaining WNL and the numbers on the scale looking good, baby was fussy when feeding and in-between feeds described as a "gassy" baby. The mother was also restricting her diet, they thought that some foods in her diet were causing baby's gassiness via her breastmilk leading to frequent spit ups.
We worked on the latch, adjusted breastfeeding management, addressed oral restrictions and increased her milk supply.
I love my job 👶🤱💫
