Based on the tenets of Ayurveda, our ingredients have been used by nursing mothers in India for thousands of years. Our products are ideal for mothers who have recently given birth, those experiencing difficulties with their milk supply and those pumping working mothers who want to maintain their supply and keep breastfeeding.

Applying a warm compress to your breasts before nursing or pumping soothes engorgement, encourages letdown and relieves clogged ducts. This can make it easier for your baby to latch or for milk to flow during pumping sessions.

Pro-Tip: put some rice in a sock, warm it up in the microwave for 30 sec (make sure it is not too hot!) and then place on your breasts before doing compressions.

But why are they so dramatic about it?

Teething may affect some babies’ nursing patterns. ⠀
⠀
Painful, swollen and aching gums may make breastfeeding too uncomfortable for some babes and they may refuse nursing.

This is referred to as a nursing strike.

These are the tips that worked for me as a mom who breastfed for over 5.5 years.
—> if you need help, consult your doctor or see a lactation professional!

▪️If baby is refusing nursing or fussy at the breast:⠀
⠀
• Be patient, keep on offering the breast⠀
- if baby refuses multiple times, you may need to pump/hand express l to keep up your supply⠀
⠀
• Try different nursing positions as they may offer a more soothing angle for baby⠀
⠀
• Offer a chilled (not frozen) wash cloth before nursing to help “numb” painful gums⠀
⠀
• Before nursing massage baby’s gums with a finger toothbrush (or a clean finger) to relieve pressure

Nursing strikes pass- hang in there!

1. Don’t listen to crappy advice
2.The mom is NOT to blame.
3. You do NOT need to stop breastfeeding after your baby has teeth.

Here are some tips for how mamas can deal with their toothy bitey babies: ⠀
⠀
⭐️ Watch your baby closely while nursing. As their sucking and swallowing slows, get ready to unlatch them right as they are done nursing. ⠀

• Having the baby doddle after he/she is finished nursing may lead to biting/experimenting with their teeth on you. ⠀
⠀
⭐️ If the baby does bite or take a nibble, immediately yet gently unlatch them and remove them from your breast ⠀
⠀
⭐️ Keep your face and demeanor as neutral as you can and clearly say “NO”. ⠀

• Use whatever words or communication style that is comfortable for you to clearly get across to the baby that biting is not okay for you and your body⠀

• If your face or words are animated, the baby may feel they got an interesting reaction from you and may smile or laugh. So try your best to be calm & neautral.

Do our lactation cookies look like Indian Chips Ahoy?

Those were may absolute fav cookies growing up. Did I subconsciously create a lactation cookie after my favorite childhood treat?
