The Pump Station & Nurtury

When your little one needs help self soothing, there’s no better pacifier out there! @natursutten All Natural Rubber Rounded Pacifier is our go to paci!! The rounded shape tends to work better for breastfed babies because the tongue is positioned under the nipple as it is during breastfeeding and it helps prevent nipple confusion. Plus the rubber rounded pacifier prevents possible negative effects on teeth and palate formation caused by thumb sucking. Perfect for your teet...hing little one!! #teethingbaby #teething #nippleconfusion #selfsoothing #selfsoothingtips #lactation #babyregistrymusthaves

In order to get milk from the breast, your baby must latch onto the breast. The word "latch" describes the way a baby takes the breast into his/her mouth. The better the latch, the more easily the baby gets mother's milk. The following #deeplatchtechnique can help your baby feed more easily & can also prevent damaged & sore nipples. Hold your breast with your thumb & index finger on the edge of the areola forming a "C" (football hold), or a "U" (cross cradle hold). Squeeze... the finger & thumb toward each other to compress the breast. Keep your fingers off to the side forming "half a sandwich" or just "pinching an inch". When putting the baby to the breast, support your baby's head with one hand, thumb near one ear, third finger near the other ear, with the web of your hand at the nape of your baby's neck. Tip the head slightly backwards by lifting between your baby's shoulder blades with the heel of your hand. With your baby's head tilted back & chin up, lift him or her to touch your nipple. The nipple should rest just above the baby's upper lip. Wait for your baby to open very wide, then "scoop" the breast by placing the lower jaw on first. Now tip your baby's head forward and place the upper jaw well behind your nipple. Keep your thumb pressing down to form the flattened sandwich as you place your baby's upper jaw behind the nipple. The lower jaw will be more deeply positioned then the upper jaw. Wait several seconds, then release your breast. If your baby's nose is buried deeply in the breast, tip the head slightly so you can see your baby's nostril while the nose still touches the breast. There is no need to continue pressing the breast with your thumb. Remember: It's not supposed to hurt to breastfeed. Sore nipples almost always mean your baby needs to be latched on more deeply. If you are having any issues at all, we are happy to set up an appt with one of our #LactationConsultants. Our team of #IBCLC’s offer one-on-one, gentle, "hands-on" advice for all #breastfeedingproblems.

Our friends at @evivohealth recently partnered with one of our favorite new mamas @katherineschwarzenegger to help raise awareness for Newborn Gut Deficiency! Here’s what she had to say about this amazing probiotic!! New mom discovery!Since becoming a mom, I’ve learned so much about newborns and their needs.One of the biggest things I was taught is that 90% of babies born in the US today have Newborn Gut Deficiency (NGD), which is a lack of good bacteria in the baby’s ...gut. Things like colic, diaper rash, and eczema as well as long-term health conditions like asthma and Type 1 diabetes aresigns your baby might have Newborn Gut Deficiency. When I learned about this and did some research myself and in the mom community, I came across @evivohealth, the only infant probiotic clinically proven to restore the good bacteria in babies and reduce the bad by 80%. I tried it and it’s so easy to use while breastfeeding or formula feeding and I loved knowing I was helping create good gut healthfor my daughterearly on. If you’re like me and didn’t have a clue about NGD but want to learn how to set your baby up for good long term gut health with Evivo, visitEvivo.com - Katherine Schwarzenegger #NGDawareness #MyEvivoStory #NewMomHacks #featurefriday
