World Breastfeeding Week is not just about every woman who breastfeeds. It is in fact more about those who couldn’t and those who wouldn’t.

Those who couldn’t didn’t get enough skilled support and those who wouldn’t, probably never got the correct information to base their decisions on.

A perfect breastfed journey has many many faces.

From giving a syringe full of colostrum, combination feeding, exclusively pumping to exclusively breastfeeding into toddlerhood. Each of these are successful breastfeeding journeys.

It is about choosing your path and meeting your own goals. Mother and child.

You are all part of this.

Different shades of World Breastfeeding Week 2021

The first two days we discuss the social aspect. The #sharedresponsibility that we speak of to #protectbreastfeeding

Speaking to Stephanie Bodak Nicholson IBCLC from @motheringartsest1992 we touched upon the importance of community and how we can make a difference.

Tonight with Leah Whitley from @soslactation we bring a take on the Social Challenges new and breastfeeding mothers face at the hand of the same community that can be pivotal in the success of their breastfeeding journey.

We compare the challenges mothers face in US and Pakistan and talk about similarities and differences as well as potential solutions.

Watch this space!

Why do we need A WEEK to celebrate breastfeeding? Why can’t we celebrate it every day?

One week or month brings concerted efforts, power and focus to a matter that is much more important and needs much more visibility than we are capable of pushing every single day. We do our best but this week and this month helps highlight our efforts.

We renew our vow to Protect, Support and Promote Breastfeeding.

Love us every day of the year but let us have our week and our month too!

Baby’s behaviour is never a reliable judge of breastmilk supply ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌀 A fussy baby on the breast or one that asks for the breast over and over again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌀 A lean or slim baby⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌀 A baby who doesn’t sleep for long stretches of time after breastfeeding ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❗️DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN YOUR SUPPLY IS LOW❗️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The ONLY way to figure out if your supply is enough is ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔆 Diaper output in 24 hours ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔆 Consistent Weight gain ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That is literally it. Don’t unnecessarily jeopardise your breastfeeding journey by introducing formula when your baby definitely doesn’t need it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

There’s a painful (HARMFUL!) belief that shuru mein tau dard hota hee hai (initially breastfeeding has to hurt) and that it calms down only over time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not only is this INCORRECT, it is harmful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just like every other time there’s pain in life, it’s an alarm for something going wrong, any amount of pain while breastfeeding is not only not supposed to happen but it’s also a red alert. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A painful latch is an INCORRECT latch. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
An incorrect latch is not only PAINFUL, it transfers less amount of milk to the baby which ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Keeps the baby underfed affecting her hydration and growth⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Causes a steep decline or even gradually ends your supply. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It could be caused because of incorrect positioning, incorrect angle of mouth, or even tethered tongue tissue, or lip or tongue mobility issues. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Bottomline: If anyone tells you that your painful latch “is absolutely fine”, please find a competent skilled lactation professional who are trained to help you with this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
DM to book a latch correction for quick 15 minute evaluation/ correction OR a Standard Consult for correction of latch and advice about other or related issues. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Ever flipped a medicine box and read “Pregnant and Breastfeeding mothers consult health professionals before use”.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That is because most medicines are not tested on these groups anyway. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Coming towards COVID vaccines.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
are mRNA vaccines that do not contain the live virus that causes COVID-19 and, therefore, cannot give someone COVID-19. Additionally, mRNA vaccines do not interact with a person’s DNA or cause genetic changes because the mRNA does not enter the nucleus of the cell, which is where our DNA is kept.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
CANNOT INFECT YOU. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sinopharm⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
or the BBIBP-CorV works by teaching the immune system to make antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The antibodies attach to viral proteins, such as the so-called spike proteins that stud its surface. The fancy name is inactivated virus vaccine. The reality is a dead virus only “teaching” immune system a lesson. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
CANNOT INFECT YOU⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sputnik V⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is a vector vaccine based on adenovirus DNA, in which the coronavirus gene is integrated. Adenovirus is used as a “container” to deliver the coronavirus gene to cells and start the synthesis of the new coronavirus's envelope proteins, “introducing” the immune system to a potential enemy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Sputnik V (Gam-COVID-Vac) vaccine reduces the time taken for the actual development of immunity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
CANNOT INFECT YOU⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The COVID-19 vaccines authorized are non-replicating vaccines, meaning they are able to create an immune response but do not reproduce inside host cells. Because non-replicating vaccines pose no risk for lactating people or their infants, COVID-19 vaccines are also thought to not be a risk to the breastfeeding infant. Therefore, lactating people may choose to be vaccinated- CDC⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

You can’t fill a cup from an empty vessel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mamas you need to stop trying to do it all and care for yourself too. Anyone offers help, forget appearances and a coy “thank you we are good”. Respond with “Acha Voh paani ki botal tau pakrana“ (hand me that bottle of water.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Better still “yeh zaraa bachcha tau pakarrna” (Hold the baby for a bit) and instantly turn over for a nap!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Learn to ask for help. Unabashedly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
