Finding A Certified Lactation Near You – On The Main Line, PA
If you are a new mother and have questions about nursing or breastfeeding, your primary care physician or pediatrician might refer you to a lactation consultant (an LC).
Lactation consultants are allied health care professionals certified by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners. Their professional
designation is IBCLC. Lactation consultants can be hospital based or they can be in private practice.
Breastfeeding Home Visits and Office Visits
In some cases, hospitals will allow new mothers to return to see hospital based Lactation Consultants but in many cases, it may be necessary or desireable to see a
private practice LC. Lactation Consultants in private practice will either have in office visits where you take your baby to the office and/or provide home visits where a
LC will come to your home and conduct an examination and consultation including weighing the baby before and after feeding, assesment of the baby’s suck
and will work with you to answer all of your nursing questions and to help you to reach your personal breastfeeding goals.
Lactation consultations are often covered by insurance so be sure to have the lactation consultant provide you with the claim forms needed
for reimbursement by your carrier.

FAQ: What if I don’t make enough milk for my baby?
Myth: Many women don’t make enough milk.
Reality: Only about 2-5% of all women cannot actually make enough milk.
Everyone else who experiences low milk supply just has a temporary decrease in their supply
that with the right information can be increased. Be sure to get medical advice but if you want to
see a lactation consultant, or your Dr. recommends that you see one, you can get help finding a

FAQ: Will it hurt to nurse or breastfeed my baby?
Myth: It may hurt.
Reality: IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HURT! Early newborn tenderness might peak between day 3 and 7.
Toe curling pain, cracks, blisters and bleeding are not normal and are all signs of a problem that needs attention.
Often, these problems can be solved quickly and effectivly by making minor changes such as positioning the baby.

Myth:
It may be hard to learn.
Reality:
Like any new skill (driving, dancing…) there is a learning period (the first 6 weeks) then there is a reward period.
With support and education women can make it to the reward period. “I never saw a baby nursing until I nursed my own.”
for a variety of reasons, your experience of learning what you need to easily breast feed your baby might
take longer or shorter than someone else. Just watch and enjoy your own progress.

Robin Frees FAQs on Nursing Breast Feeding During Flu Season
Skin To Skin Contact by Robin B. Frees Certified Lactation Consultant, Malvern Pa
Never underestimated the simple things.
At birth, skin to skin contact helps your new baby (and all babies) to adjust to his or
her new environment, helps to regulate both temperature and breathing, and to reduce
stress in the newborn. Studies have also shown that skin to skin contact helps to regulate
blood sugar in the new baby.
Skin to skin contact also facilitates maternal – newborn bonding and breast feeding.
So insist upon skin to skin contact with your baby after birth and whenever medically
possible, delay post partum procedures such as eye ointment, foot printing, and non
essential procedures until mother and baby have had at least one hour together skin to skin.
And, since things tend to move so quickly following delivery it is a great idea to make
skin to skin contact part of your birth plan, it should also be discussed with your nurse
before the baby is born so that they are aware of and can then accomodate your desires.
For more information for new mothers make sure to
bookmark and to follow this blog.

There is a growing body of evidence, that the use of probiotics in infants with
colic is effective in reducing crying time and might be more effective than simethicone
in treating colicky nursing babies.

Many new mothers are concerned about whether or not they are making enough milk.
However, your lactation consultant should be able to weiagh your baby using a sensitve scale, both
before and after feeding to determine how much milk your baby is really getting.
Once you have determined that you actually do have a low supply, there are things that you can
do to increase your milk supply.
First, consider pumping using an electric or manual pump. Also, consider feeding
your baby or pumping more frequently.
Another resource for increased milk supply can be found at CD For Increased Milk Supply.
