Weight gain is a helpful measurement for determining how well your baby is doing. This is not the only way to know your baby is thriving, but it is a valuable indicator of health in a baby. If your baby is not gaining well, it can be a sign that breastfeeding is not going well. Or it may mean that a health issue is preventing your baby from growing as expected.

There is a wide range of normal weight gain in babies. Many babies who gain weight slowly are perfectly healthy. It is important to look at all the signs of health when evaluating a baby’s growth pattern.

Why does you baby wake up 10 minutes after a feed? It's all to do with hormones (and possibly because you put them down!).

Isn't breastfeeding amazing?! "Human breast milk regulates a baby’s mix of microbes, known as the microbiome, during the infant’s first year of life. This in turn lowers the child’s risk of developing asthma, a new study shows."

Keep your baby close to you while feeding will help them feel more secure and help with comfortable positioning 💚

Have you tried switching your baby's position to get a better latch? Sometimes it's not just about how wide they open their mouth!

If you are struggling with breastfeeding, but have found breastfeeds seem to go much better at some times of day/night than others, that can really help us to figure out what might be happening for you and your baby.

Sometimes this can be about milk volume - maybe baby feeds better on a fuller breast for example.

It can be about positioning - at certain times of day/night you may feed in a particular chair/bed or use a different position.

It can also be about what else is going on in the environment at that time - the demands on you from other people/children/housework, how stressed you are, how fussy or hungry your baby is. Breastfeeding is about 2 people coming together, and the state of each of those nervous systems (how regulated or dysregulated they are). Sometimes night time goes well because both nervous systems are more relaxed and regulated.

We are here to help if you're finding things tough at the moment 💚
