🤱🏾 🤰🏻🤱🏼👩🏽‍🍼Hey Ladies!!! I’ve gotten recent questions on detecting or knowing if your little one has a lip or tongue tie. Attached are some images that may help in determining if a little needs to be seen for a possible lip or tongue tie. I ALWAYS recommend having a professional take a look and doing a for-certain look. I do work closely with a local dentist that can do lip and tongue tie revisions! ❤️ 🙇🏼‍♀️

Feeling emotional before a feed! Read this!!

Dysphoric Milk Rejection Reflex

D-Mer is characterized by a surge of negative emotions about 30-90 seconds prior to milk release (let down) when breastfeeding, pumping or with spontaneous let down.
▪️
The most commonly used words to describe D-Mer are: a hollow feeling in the stomach, anxiety, sadness, dread, introspectiveness, nervousness, anxiousness, emotional upset, angst, irritability, hopelessness and general negative emotions.
▪️
D-Mer is not a psychological issue. A key piece of D-MER is that a mother with D-MER feels absolutely fine except just before her milk starts to flow. D-MER is a brief feeling, not more than 30 seconds to 2 minutes, only and always beginning before let-down. This is not postpartum depression.
▪️
Most mothers can cope with D-Mer by understanding that it is a medical problem and not an emotional problem. Additionally, knowing that things like stress, dehydration, exhaustion, and caffeine can aggravate symptoms of D-Mer. For severe symptoms, a prescription may be necessary.
▪️
It may help to remember that these feelings are only temporary and will go away once your let down is over. Distraction techniques like reading, listening to music, watching television, etc can also be helpful.
