Often people tell me how much they expect their toddler to eat and it is just wildly more than I would ever expect a toddler to eat.⁠
⁠
Wildly more.⁠
⁠
Of course you may have a toddler who eats a ton. That's fine. But if your toddler is only eating very tiny amounts of food, then it is totally normal.⁠
⁠
It's important to let your child stop eating when they show signs that they are full. That helps them continue to develop the ability to listen to their body. ⁠
⁠
If you want to know more about how to help kids learn to listen to their bodies, the free picky eater guide in the bio can help. ⁠

This is SO important: a deep latch. All mothers should be shown this in hospital. I saw a mom again today that had no assistance in hospital 😥

We all need to to support breast feeding. One of the most important breastfeeding skills a mother can learn is how to get a deep latch. This needs to taught to every mother while they are still in hospital.

Rabies
Did you know that you could be vaccinated against rabies before you are exposed/bitten or licked by and infected animal.
Pre-exposure are 2 injections 7 days apart.
If you are exposed to rabies please seek medical attention immediately as rabies can be fatal if not treated correctly.
Please see the following link for the NICD treatment guidelines as the post exposure guidelines has changed.

What is a CERTIFIED Lactation Consultant:
Just being a Nurse, Midwife or any other Healthcare Provider doesn't make you a Certified Lactation Consultant (CLC).
In SA there are only 2 accredited qualifications, SACLC (South African Certified Lactation Consultant) or an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant). When you see someone for breastfeeding help it is your right to ask them what their qualifications are.
There are also lovely La Leche League ladies that offers help, but even them have to do quite intensive training.
