Life’s been crazy! I had a third baby in the midst of a pandemic. I delivered via unmedicated VBAC when I was supposed to have a scheduled c-section a couple of weeks later!
I snapped this and had to share it! The early am milk versus pm milk. Am milk has higher water volume (hydration) versus pm milk has higher fat content (satiation and rest). Breastmilk is so fascinating!

I love this so very much! 🤱🏻

Umbilical stump care.

Hi 👋🏼, I’m a RN & IBCLC, here to give you some information about how to care for baby’s umbilical stump during those early weeks.
▪️The umbilical stump will fall off naturally within 1-3 weeks after birth.
▪️Sometimes it falls off all at once (see second photo) and sometimes it falls off small pieces at a time.
▪️Signs of infection include redness/inflammation around the stump site, foul smelling discharge, fever (temperature of 100.4 F or higher). If you suspect infection contact your pediatrician.
▪️Scant bleeding is normal, excessive bleeding that requires holding pressure should be reported to your Pediatrician.
▪️Fold baby’s diaper *below* the umbilical stump to prevent irritation and contamination.
▪️Sponge bathe baby until the umbilical stump falls off. Keep the stump dry and avoid getting it wet.
▪️Avoid tight-fitting elastic bands that sit directly on the stump site.
▪️No need to apply any medication or creams to it unless directed by your Pediatrician.

Breastmilk supply.

One of the most important factors to keep in mind when it comes to maintaining and increasing milk supply is: MILK REMOVAL.

If milk remains within the breast, your body receives signals telling it that there is “unused milk” and this can lead to a slow in milk production.

There are other factors that come into play as well but this is one of the most basic concepts that is important for lactating mothers to understand.

COVID-19 transformed South Bay Baby Care into virtual 1:1 consulting about a month ago! To the pregnant and new mamas out there looking for prenatal education, lactation services (education and consultations), baby care & starting solids consults, I’m here for you! I’m still providing private 1:1 consults and I’m using a HIPAA compliant platform. Thank you to everyone who has supported South Bay Baby Care during this time! You’re the reason I’m still going! 🙏🏼👶🏻💗
