Do you breastfeed in a variety of positions? If not, this is your sign to give these other positions a try! Sometimes it’s a baby latching problem (tongue tie, lip tie, etc) and sometimes it’s a nipple problem (inverted, engorged, too large, etc) and changing positions can be helpful because a new/different nursing position may just be the solution to a breastfeeding problem you are facing! Which positions do you currently use? And which positions are you willing to give a try this week?

Side lying has always worked best for me as it's relaxing and it also helped my babies not choke on my super fast letdowns. But during the day I mostly use the cradle hold. Once my toddler was older she would usually nurse sitting up on my lap.

WINTER IS COMING! ❄️🥶❄️

Okay… the weather, well this polar vortex snowstorm that’s landing on half the country in the next couple days, seems to be all that anyone is talking about lately! So I’m curious?! What part of the US do you live in and what are the weather predictions for where you live? Let’s see who’s predicted to get it the worst!

I'm in VT, so probably similar weather to whatever you have! Wind chill is currently -2F and they're predicting 3-7 more inches of snow.

It makes the doctor the focus, not the mother. Worse than the back position is being told how and when to push - it takes away all of the mother's belief in her body and intuition and ability to do it! I pushed squatting/kneeling with both mine. My second baby I caught by myself, my midwife wasn't looking down there at all!

Do you or don’t you? If you do, what’s your favorite wrap or carrier?

#5 on your list is HUGE right now since I have a toddler and so much to do! It really does free up your hands and I love having Baby on me instead of sticking him in a container (swing, playpen, etc). My favorite for small babies is a wrap carrier, I have the KeaBabies one and love it. It is a learning curve to figure out how to wear it but so easy and fast once you know how! I don't really like nursing in it but I do in a pinch. My babies have always loved it and it's a fast way to get them to sleep too. Then once I start holding them on my hip, maybe 9ish months, I switch to a sling carrier so I can keep them secure on my hip. That works super good too!
