Do you feel stressed about pumping and/or returning to work?

Relaxation and Stress Reduction

Being a new mom is a beautiful and exciting experience.
And being committed to nursing your baby is also a wonderful
bonding opportunity.

But the stresses of life, and of returning to work can and often
do contribute to concerns about milk supply, stress, and nursing.

Since stress has been shown to negatively impact supply,
we have created a new set of resources for breastfeeding moms.

These resources and a great video, dedicated to sress reduction,
building milk supply,
and returning to work and pumping
are all available at www.BreastMilkBabies.com

You can read about them and sample the soothing mp3s created
especially for nursing moms concerned with her supply, who needs
to reduce stress and to feel more relaxed and capable, and for moms
who are returning to work and planning to pump.

Are you considering returning to work and wondering
about nuring or pumping while working?

While society’s attitudes and work place rules about nursing and
breastfeeding are changing and becoming more supportive,
many mothers still face restictions and condemnation about
nursing their babies (however discretly) in public places.

Beyonce, however has no such personal concerns and
this article discusses her experiences nursing her new baby
publicly.

And, here’s another link to a sheknows.com article on how to
nurse in public.

At Newbornconcepts.com, we
also have a resource for new Moms that is relaxing and the
perfect tool for increasing your milk supply and for stress reduction
to support your milk supply when returning to work.

We have all heard someone say it - “Breastfeeding can be painful
for the first few… days, hours, weeks”

But the truth is, that pain associated with breastfeeding
is not normal and may be associated with a number of factors or
conditions that can be easily cured or corrected with the right
advice and information.

One of the most common causes of pain associated with
breastfeeding, is an improper latch when putting the baby to the
breast.

What are the signs of a poor latch that might be causing
pain during breastfeeding?

1) Smacking sounds when the baby is nursing

2) A biting sensation when at the breast

3) A compression mark on the nipple after feeding

4) Nipple is released or falls out of the baby’s mouth when it pauses

5) Bleeding after nursing

6) Baby is failing to gain weight

7) Any PAIN following feeding.

Again, breastfeeding should not hurt and pain is simply
not normal.

So if you are experiencing any pain during nursing, be sure
to consult your doctor or a certified lactation consultant
in your area as quick and often simple interventions
can eliminate even greater pain later.

If you’d like more information and good videos
on achieving a great latch, here are a few videos
of Dr. Jack Newman:

Robin Frees on Breastfeeding FAQs

In addition to our own FAQ section
on breastfeeding, we have also recently
located a site with a robust breastfeeding
FAQ.

Click the link below for more
information.

Breastfeeding FAQs

Another valuable link on breastfeeding comes from the CDC
and relates to nursing when you have been exposed to certain
diseases.

For more information on nursing or breastfeeding when you have been
exposed to certain medications, treatments and diseases you
can click on the highlighted breastfeeding links to the CDC below.

While this list is not intended to be complete or to
replace medical and lactation advice, the links below
should help you to ask the right questions. For information
about these issues, click below:

* Anthrax
* Breast Augmentation
* Exposure to Environmental Toxins
* Food-borne and Waterborne Illness during Breastfeeding
* Hepatitis B and C
* Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), and Acquired Immunodeficiency Virus (AIDS)
* Jaundice
* Malaria
* Prescription Drug Use
* Tobacco Use
* Toxoplasmosis
* West Nile Virus

There is a great deal of confusion and misinformation about the
limitations of mothers nursing their babies under certain medical
conditions. Be sure to consult your health care provider and/or
a certified lactation consultant.
