Breast Feeding

Today i I fed my daughter of 21months next to a new mum of 6 weeks. It was lovely to chat. The one thing that i often hear with new mums is that they often feel like they’re not producing enough breast milk. This is because new mums can often compare how much they pump
to how much milk is recommended on the back of a container of formula and how could 5ml/10ml possibility be enough? In my view it is. Their stomachs are so tiny and it’s about quality not the quantity of milk we provide them with. Babies also have a very strong sucking reflex which means they could happily suckle for hours.

Bottle feeding Mums may have to adapt how much they give too. Remember milk measures are guideline based on an average (what is that?) sized baby.

What are your experiences with bottle or breast feeding? What tips or words of wisdom would you pass on a new mum?

This week in our antenatal pilates class, whilst exercising. As we’re good at multitasking 🙂 We were discussing gentle c section births where the baby is encouraged to push and to birth a little more naturally and delayed cord clamping, which is know to have huge benefits. What are your thoughts, experiences on these topics?

From an exercise perspective we’ve been toning our arms with light hand weights, lengthening and stretching the spine and lateral breathing to open out the ribs and diaphragm. We also worked on using the full exhale to help with breathing during labour.

Another wonderful and insightful class.

If you’re currently expecting a baby and you would like to get moving do come and join us on Saturdays 11am at Aquamanda Spa.
