When i gave birth Yesterday, i imagined you talking me through as my doula. Because of you i coped With the pain and Had a positive birth Experience. Thank you! God Bless you, you are doing so much. So i think you should Know about it :)

I was told by lactation consultant to pump every 2hours and pump after breastfeeding. I wasn't able to produce colostrum right after birth.
I pump, breastfeed, and then pump again. I was told by pediatrician to feed on demand. Now, I just let my baby tell me they are hunger. I don't let my baby go pass 3-4hrs without feeding.
My baby is a week old and drinks 2ounces

I just gave birth a week and a half ago. We are playing catch up trying to get baby back to his birth weight. I’ve been feeling discouraged because he still has not gained enough. I am so glad I clicked on this video. It has been way more helpful than any lactation consultant I have met with and really added to what my pediatrician has instructed me to do. Thank you so much! Your channel is a life saver and has given me encouragement to keep going.

You always post exactly what I need right when I need it lol. i’ve watched your videos all through my pregnancy and just had my daughter on the 18th. Perfect timing. 😂❤️

[cacosta]

I love your videos and truly appreciate the nature of you encouraging mamas to do things in a natural way. Do you have any recommendations for a clean formula? I have read so much on the levels of toxins in well known formulas and find it very scary how stuff like that can be on shelves to be bought.

My baby is 4 weeks old it’s been really difficult to feed her, she’s incredibly sleepy so keeping her awake is a challenge. My sessions have been 30-45 minutes. Went to a lactation consultant and she said she was a bit underweight so now I’m breastfeeding then I supplement with pumped milk immediately after and then pump to empty out my breast in case she didn’t get everything. She could sleep for over 3 hours if I let her sleep so it’s hard to know if she is hungry so I just wake her every 2-3 hours, change diaper to wake her get her naked and feed her. She’s just so sleepy and never cries! I was going off her dirty diapers and so I wasn’t worried she wasn’t getting enough, and wouldn’t baby be crying if she was starving!? So confusing

[ShadesofSage]

This is a great video! This is one of the most asked questions I get as a doula as well, and I plan to do a video soon on this topic 😊! It’s especially needful for breastfeeding feeding moms. Thanks for sharing ❤️!

[tiffanyriley]

Thank you so much for talking about the supplementing! This was SO helpful!

[tristinrayment]

what if my baby just wants to eat all the time, like every hour or multiple times in an hour for like 20 minutes in each side, shes a month old and gaining weight like normal

[yunqingyu]

Is it possible that some Moms just cannot produce enough? I have been breastfeeding from my baby birth, but it becomes more and more difficult to satisfy him. I often need to feed for an hour, but it only last one hour before he asks for milk again.

[SRSmeditation]

This is really helpful videos i feel like i understand more my baby because of your videos..struggling of breast feeding but with all your videos made me more confident and less stress thank you.

[carissaraeee]

Could you possibly do a video about the golden hour? Just all the facts and benefits of bonding with baby in the very beginning of birth?

[kibbykibby]

Your videos are the most informative. Thank you for everything ❤️❤️

[poojamaradimani]

I’ve 7 weeks old daughter.. recently she’s sticking her tongue out and back usually after feed sometimes before.. is it a hunger cue? What might be the reason for this?

[desiraejenks]

My daughters a month old now. Sometimes she latches great and other times not so much. On the feedings I can't get her to latch correctly it always worries me. I also pump so thankfully I have milk to give her if she just won't latch correctly that feeding

[jocelyncastro]

Instead of going based on schedule and going based on cues, if they show cues how much should you give baby if you’re pumping.

[kaneo]

Son came 2 weeks early. Too small to suckle hard enough to pull milk. Formula was a Godsend, until he's strong enough for proper nursing. Too bad about the colostrum, didn't get told to pump until it was gone.

[meghnapodder]

My baby is now 6 weeks old. During the day, he takes very little feed. I generally feed him via spoon fed bottle after pumping. During night time, he demands more. Is that normal?

[ariferacho]

Wish I saw this before letting the nurse talk me into supplementing

[johannacross]

Oh and not Just a positive birth Experience, but also unmedicated :) when i felt like pushing i remembered you giving birth and Tried to do the Same. Was great to think that im not alone and that If you can do it i can do it
