Are there Foods to avoid while breastfeeding? Gentle anti colic diet!
มุมมอง 15K2 ปีที่แล้ว
If your baby is experiencing wind, tummy issues or any other ‘colicky’ type symptoms, changing your diet can make a big difference. But it’s also extremely important for your nutritional needs to be met - which can be hard if you’re doing an extreme anti-colic diet. While breastfeeding we have high nutritional needs so we don’t want to be removing nutrient dense foods unless we need to. This is...

Tips for balancing Postpartum hormones | Postpartum Care

    • @sarah_nichole
      @sarah_nichole 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Increase your fat and protein intake. Your body is craving it! I run a program where I help postpartum women align themselves so their bodies can easily balance hormones, lose weight and regain health. Many come to be torn between their health and their milk supply. You can absolutely have both. That's the way we are designed; we just have to align!

    Your blood makes your food. THEN BABY EATS WHAT YOU EAT. Their systems are not able to handle all adult foods. What we eat goes to baby. Spicy food or dairy products or processed foods will cause avid reflux, hours of crying and missery.

Nothing can truly prepare you for motherhood, but these things, if in place will definitely help l. Also reminding yourself it's all going to pass very quickly in the grand scheme of things. We are warriors, and we have been able to raise and feed our babies in times of famine, war, etc. We can do this!

      Congratulations! My best advice would be to Plan for postpartum. How you are going to regulate your nervous system so it feels calm and safe, how you are going to support yourself nutritionally. Adding in extra supplements that support the hormonal change (I have an online postpartum class that shows you exactly how to do this!) Ask for help before you have the bubbas.

  • @haymanhughes1121
    @haymanhughes1121 ปีที่แล้ว

    If the baby needs to be fed every three hours, how can sleep be prioritized? At most, my wife can get a max of 2.5 to 3 hours at a time. We're working on the ide strategy if she can get 3 x 2.5 hours sleep per 24 hour period, then she's doing well.

    • @themamaway
      @themamaway ปีที่แล้ว

      That's great that you've got a plan in place (and you're supporting her). I have a 6 week old at the moment too so I understand it can feel hard to prioritise sleep. What I find works best is going to bed as early as possible. Resting during the day whenever possible (even if she can't sleep - resting is the next best thing). As baby get's older and feeds stretch out, your wife will be able to hopefully get some 4-5 hour blocks of sleep which help with feeling more refreshed.

    • @haymanhughes1121
      @haymanhughes1121 ปีที่แล้ว

      @themamaway thanks! Another question: I've heard that as the baby grows and can eat more in one feed and then sleep longer, it becomes better to feed regularly during the day and then try to get longer sleeps at night. My question is, how do the breasts cope with going 4-5 hours without giving a feed when they're used to giving a feed every 2-3 three hours?

    • @haymanhughes1121
