breastfeeding for man

thanks for watching mid morning this wednesday. a woman is breast-feeding her baby in a target store in connecticut and she was very bali assaults by a man saying it is disgusting. as the man was cursing at her, she captured other customers

and posted it on facebook. it has gone viral. the amount of people coming at me to defend me was amazing. with all the hate going on in the world it is pretty ridiculous. i think he needs to know that and other people need to know

that too. two target employees took him away and out of the situation. 50% are still breast- feeding. i want to start first with you angela davis. you breastfed both your

children. when you see this, what first comes to mind? first thing i remember the sleep deprivation. i don't remember that whole time period, but for the benefit of the child it is so much healthier as women know

and you're encouraged to do it by your doctors and nurses that yeah go to. we recognize in the world there are a lot of angry people. you have to, you know, i guess assess the environment you're in and determine could this be a good place to do this.

there are many places you can do it and you could cover them. i thought the -- a lot of people say cover up and use a blanket. she was exposed but you can't control whether or not the child will brush the blanket off.

she said would you like eating with a blanket over your head. the bottom line it is not in decent. it is not obscene. it is natural and moms feed their babies when they need to eat and they shouldn't be shamed in public.

he got so angry and there are so many things you can be angry about. this guy was just in a bad mood. he was going to get mad at someone over something and it happened he took his anger out on this mother who was

breastfeeding her child. you certainly have the right to do it but some places have rooms for moms and many bathrooms are outfitted so you can do that. i am always aware there are a lot of people who make bad choices and mean spirited so i

am cautious just by myself how i behave in public. for me it is a little disheartening in a way because we see cleavage everywhere. it is all over. you see just a victoria secret ad so it is funny. you want to feed your baby,

that is obscene.

breastfeeding for husband

this video shows the moment a woman on thetube is confronted for breast feeding in public. ****ing hell. excuse me, you're not breastfeeding, are ya? you're not breastfeeding are ya? i am. you got a problem? i'm not trying to be argumentative or anythingbut i feel a bit uncomfortable about it. the clip is actually part of a social experimentcreated to see how passers-by really react to breastfeeding in public spaces and oneman isn't a fan. well there should a be a designated carriagein here for it. i mean, it's a bit-

what do you want me to do? i just don't want you to do it- give my baby breast milk or formula? i just don't want you to do it in front ofme. could you not express it or something before you come on here? excuse me? other passengers on the train confronted theman telling him to sit somewhere else. common sense. express or feed your baby beforeyou come on the train. move away.

jesus chri- what are you doing sitting therefor? you're behaving quite aggressively. i'm not behaving quite aggressively, you'rethe one that bolted into my conversation. i don't really care. maybe you're into someoneexposing themselves on the train, i'm not. i have principles and morals. you're the only one making this sexual. thisis a natural thing! no i'm not! everyone's having a little goat it. why don't you just move on to another carriage? you're starting to annoy me now. little did they know both the breastfeedingwoman and the angry man were actors and the

whole situation was set up.

breastfeeding for husband images

- hi friends and welcomeback to amanda mu's. i'm gonna be giving you an update today on breastfeeding with jack because if you have missed the last few vlogs, don't miss the vlogs, subscribe hit the bell get notified, you know all the tricks. because between you and me there's been a littlechange in some of the way

that youtube is doing things. i mean, there's a lot of changes. so you have got to hit thatbell if you like my videos, and then you'll get notified about them. i'm planning live q anda's for the new year and so i'm going to betesting that out in january and i don't want you to miss it so, subscribe, hit the bell, okay i've said it enough.

now back to today's video. i am done breastfeeding with jack. can you believe it? i'm in shock. i still almost can't believe it's over. it's kind of crazy. if you're new my son jack isgoing to be three in march. so we finished breastfeedingas of 32 months. i don't usually count months,

but the other day i sat there and just counted out onmy fingers just to see. because with esme, we went to 22 months. so i was curious to see how much longer i actually nursed jack. and so yeah, wow. so in the end, i endedup breastfeeding jack ten months longer than esme. and i'm going to link some videos below

and you can also click the i, to see those videos that i've talked about our breastfeeding journey in the past, and how i weaned esme. but it's been completelydifferent this time. wen i was nursing my first, i was still, i was pregnant with jack. and so that hormone change and all of that really sped up the process

in me wanting to wean from breastfeeding. with jack on the other hand, and i've said this many times, that it's relationship and when one of us showssigns of wanting to stop i'm going to make it happen. jack showed no signs of slowing down, but me, recently in thelast few months for sure, like since the end of summer,

i've just started to experience a ton of breastfeeding aversion. i do talk about that in a video below, i'll link it down there. just because there is so much to say on the subject of breastfeeding, that i don't want to goon forever in this one. but i could, so i have to limit myself. so i just started toexperience a lot of aversion.

and long story short, it's basically your body saying i'm done. it's not even like a mental thing. because mentally i couldhave continued breastfeeding. but physically, i just, i wouldrather have scaled a wall, jumped out a windowand run down the block. i'm not even kidding,it sounds so dramatic, but it's true. so i promised myself that by christmas

we were going to be done, however i found a way to do that. and then in october, so really, so the weaning process, i can honestly pinpoint a date. it was buffer fest in toronto, and i spent the night away in a hotel. that was amazing, i alsohave a video about that. i mean i pretty much videoeverything so links below.

but i went to buffer fest, met up with a bunch ofcreators that i know also parenting creatorsand non parenting creators. and spent a night alone in a hotel. it was the greatest sleep of my life. the next day i checked up with dean and it turns out jack actually didn't have as difficult a time as we thought. he was obviously a little bitchoked that i wasn't there

to breastfeed him tosleep and then we co sleep and then i would nurse him in the evening. so to kind of take it back, where we were in terms of breastfeeding was pretty much breastfeeding to sleep and then occasionallythroughout the night. nothing extreme, we werenot breastfeeding in the day unless something happenedwhere he fell down then we would.

but otherwise, that was it. so me going away for anight was significant cause that is how jack was put to sleep. so he managed it, he survived,the whole family was fine. i was like okay. i had this idea in the back of my mind that it would be the beginning of the end, i felt like, if we had been away for a night.

and truth be told it was. so i wasn't away, ihaven't been away since. but i have had things andevents that have taken me away from the house later in the evening. you know where i'm going into toronto, or i'm just out with girlfriends or work events or whatever. and it just so happened that jack wasn't nursed to sleep those nights.

and he survived. and then it happened, i would say i think it'sbeen about a month now. so yeah coming up on abouta month i thnk today. today's been a month. but i basically went to a friends house. oh no, so we went to bed, it was friday night, and jack was really tired andhe didn't breastfeed to sleep.

i just tickled his back and off he went. and i thought, oh i wonder if this is it. and then nothing in the night, and then we woke up the next day didn't ask for anything and i thought i'm not going to offer. cause i want this to end. i was ready i was very much ready. and didn't ask for it that night.

didn't ask for it, went straight to bed. i thought, wow i think this is it, and you guys that was it. i can't believe it, with esme, i mean watchthat weaning video. it was like the single hardestthing i've ever had to do, aside from child birth, but it was insane. she was not ready, she was very upset. i think she cried for like twelve hours.

jack just rolled over and went to sleep. like it was incredible. i honestly thought it was amyth children who self weaned. but apparently it's the truth. so it sort of, it givesme a lot of comfort to know that he breastfedup until he was done. oddly enough though hehas now become fascinated with my belly button. and if you watched mybreastfeeding journey,

you would know that he would often refer to breastfeeding to num a num. he now calls my belly button num a num. and he calls me mommy num a num. or mommy no no. so he's come up with theseother little nick names. he's obsessed with my belly button. i mean who knew. like he literally as he's falling asleep.

he says mommy belly butt, belly butt. like he just wants tofondle my belly button. it makes me want to like hurl. but you do what you got to do. i'm not breastfeeding andthat is a relief to me. so every now and then iget hit with this wave of ohh it's done. like i could probably cry, if i thought about it to much right now.

that my breastfeeding journey is over. it's so two fold. i am thrilled to have my body back, i am thrilled that my boobsare like coming back to life. (baby babbling) hey you. (babbling) hello. i'm thrilled that i am wearingnon breastfeeding bras.

like there is so much. you know. hey buddy want to say hi? come on here. come sit here you got to sit here. don't touch that, come say hi, the camera's up here. they want to see you. - [jack] what's this?

like four years of breastfeeding. so that's a lot. look at this stud. look at this handsome little buddy in his, - babbling - babbling oh he is so handsome. we are going to see his big sister in a christmas concert today. so we got all,

oh look at you. - when is halloween? - halloween is done. he is a very festive child. - it's christmas time. he likes all the decorations so. it's done i can't believe it. so next stop potty training. - hi

- hi, so expect more news about that. but that it. if you have more questions because i am certain thereare going to be questions like how are you co sleeping still and all of that stuff. like, we're still co sleeping there is no nursing. i just do a night timeroutine with him now.

where i tickle his backand i sing him a song, just like i do for esme occasionally. although she now almost done with needing me to tickle her back. like it's amazing how itlike goes in these waves. so handsome. so that's it. if you have any questions,leave them below. i'm fairly certain this won't be the end

of my breastfeeding videos. obviously it's not goingto be the main focus but i feel like the information i have, and the experiences i havethey don't go to waste. so if you're new into your journey feel free to ask me questions. i'm happy to help and answer. and that is it. please subscribe.

breastfeeding for dummies

(bell tones) (gentle piano music) - hello, my name isdoctor bonny whalen. i am the medical directorof the newborn nursery here at dartmouthhitchcock medical center. welcome to the birthing pavilion and congratulationson your pregnancy. and if you'vealready given birth, congratulations toyou and your new baby.

in this video wewould like to share some important informationabout the birthing pavilion and the kinds of thingsyou and your new baby will experience in his orher first few days of life. we'd also like to offeryou some tips and advice on caring for yournew little one. the birthing pavilion isa comfortable, private and calm place to give birth. it has it's own operating rooms

and the intensive carenursery is right next door should you need any specialcare right after delivery. the birthing pavilion isan especially safe place for you and your baby. (soft piano notes) the first few minutesand hours after birth is an importanttime for a mother and her new baby to bond. spending time togetherand skin to skin contact

for the first hour oflife is especially helpful in making the transitionsafter the birth's successful skin-to-skin contact means the baby's naked skincomes in direct contact with the mother's bare skin. the skin-to-skincontact helps stabilize the baby's blood sugarsand body temperature. it helps the baby'sheart rate and breathing become more stable and it'svery calming for the baby.

this quiet bondingtime is also helpful with the baby's first feeding. a mother's body benefits fromskin-to-skin contact too. it helps the mother'suterus contract which helps decrease bleeding and it also helps stimulatea mother's milk hormones if she is breast feeding. - does he look likeyour other son? - we encourage you to holdyour baby skin-to-skin

as much as possiblein the first few hours and days of life. baby's who are heldagainst their mother's or father bare skin areoften happier and healthier. there may be timeswhen your baby might not be able tobe placed skin-to-skin right after birth, dueto a medical problem. if this is the case, we willdo our best to let you know ahead of time and explain why.

after the first hour of life, we will apply an antibioticointment called azithromycin to your baby's eyes. this helps preventeye infections that can be caused bybacteria in the birth canal. this ointment should not causeany problems for your baby. we will also give yourbaby a shot of vitamin k soon after birth. this is a special vitaminthat is made by the liver.

vitamin k helps blood to clotand helps prevent bleeding. baby's are born withlow levels of vitamin k and it takes a fewweeks for their liver to start making enough vitamink to help stop bleeding. without the vitamin k shot, babies can develop seriousbleeding in their skin, intestines and brain. the shot will cause somebrief discomfort at first but should not cause anyother problems for your baby.

(bouncy positive music) after birth yournewborn is given a foot band and an armband. these are stamped withyour baby's name, date and time of birth. mothers and theirsignificant others receive a matching band. our healthcare staffwith check the bands to identify both thebaby and the parents

before any test orprocedure is performed and anytime your babyis returned to you after spending timeoutside of your room. an infant security tag will beattached to your baby's ankle as a special security measure. if this tag gets close to one of the birthingpavilion's exits, it will set off analarm and lock the door. to keep from setting thisalarm off accidentally,

please try to stayclear of the exits when you wheel yourbaby through the hallway in his bassinet. the alarm will also triggerif the tag gets wet, if it falls off or ifsomeone damages it. babies often loseweight after birth so tell your nurse ifthe tag becomes so loose that it might fall off. for safety and security reasons,

when babies areoutside of the room, they must be pushedin their bassinet. staff members willquestions anyone carrying a baby in their arms. even another staff member. this is one of the best ways we can make sure yourbaby remains safe. a day or two after the birth, we will perform severalimportant procedures

and tests for your newborn. sometimes these are donein the newborn nursery and sometimes they areperformed in your room. if your baby needsto go to the nursery, you are welcome to come along and help soothe him or herwith your voice and your touch. to help keep your baby healthy and to identify certainmedical conditions before they become problems,

we will perform aspecial blood test called the newbornmetabolic screen. this is sometimescalled the pku test. we will take a few drops ofblood from your baby's foot to perform this test. this test can tell us ifthe newborn has problems in producing certaintypes of hormones such as in hypothyroidism. it can also detect if ababy will have problems

breaking down food orin using his nutrition such as with conditionscalled pku and galactosemia. without screening, these problems may not show up until a baby becomes very sick or has delays inhis development. if the screening test showsthat there may be a problem, your doctor willdo extra testing. if this follow up testing shows

that there is truly a problem, a special medicine ordiet can be prescribed to help keep your babyfrom getting sick. you will receive results onyour baby's newborn screen at the two weekwell child visit. if there is a problemon the newborn screen, you should hear from yourbaby's doctor before this visit. your baby will also betested for jaundice, a common newborn conditionwhich makes a baby's skin

turn yellow. jaundice develops when a yellowchemical called bilirubin builds up in the body. bilirubin is formedwhen a baby's redblood cells break down which is a normalprocess after birth. babies get rid ofbilirubin through the liver and then throughtheir stool or poop. since a newborn's liver isnot very mature at birth and because babiesdon't pass a lot of poop

in their first few days of life, extra bilirubin can buildup in the baby's blood. the bilirubin canthen get into the skin and cause it to look yellow. most babies geta little jaundice in the first few days of life and normally this doesnot cause problems. but some babiescan get so yellow that they need help gettingrid of their jaundice.

to find out if jaundiceis going to be a problem for your baby, we will performa bilirubin blood test. this will be done at the sametime as the newborn screen to help limit an extrapoke for your baby. your baby may have a bilirubintest performed earlier if there are any concernsabout her looking too yellow for her age. while we perform these tests, we will give your baby a verysmall amount of sugar water

to suck on, thishelps lower pain. breast feeding your baby and holding herskin-to-skin a little, just before these tests,can also help to limit pain. most new babies hear wellat birth, but some do not. about one to threeof every 1000 babies will have a true hearing loss we screen your newbornfor hearing loss with a special machine.

the screening test is easy and is done while your babyis resting or sleeping. some babies may notpass on the first try. this can be due tonoise in the room or because the babyis moving around. if your baby does notpass on the first try, we will repeat the hearingscreen one more time before you go home. if he does not passon the second try,

we will contact theaudiology department and ask that theycall you at home to schedule an appointmentfor more testing. we also recommendthat your baby receive the hepatitis b vaccine beforegoing home from the hospital. the hepatitis b vaccine isan important first vaccine for a baby. it has been recommendedfor all newborns by the americanacademy of pediatrics

and the centers for diseasecontrol for almost 20 years. if a new baby is exposedto the hepatitis b virus, a serious infection ofthe liver can develop. the vaccine helpsto prevent this. this vaccination is recommended even if the mother'shepatitis b test result is negative duringher pregnancy, because testing isnot always accurate or sometimes themother can develop

the hepatitis b infectionafter her test is done. the hepatitis b vaccine isa safe an effective vaccine. the shot will causesome brief discomfort to your baby at first, but itshould not continue to hurt and it is unlikely tocause any other problems. some babies are born witha dangerous heart condition that can cause a low levelof oxygen in the blood. for this reason, we willperform a special oxygen test on your baby before you go home.

this test is painless and can be done rightin your own room. if this test shows that yourbaby has a low level of oxygen in the blood, we willperform extra oxygen testing to make sure that youbaby's heart is healthy. if the extra testingshows that your baby may have a heart condition, we will perform an ultrasoundof your baby's heart called an echocardiogram.

this will look at thestructure of your baby's heart to see if there is a problem. (pleasant bouncy music) - [nurse] just above it. - one of the bestthings a newborn can do to get the best start in life is to be a healthy eater. babies need to eat often because their stomachsare very small.

at first they can only eat about two to threeteaspoons at a time. sometimes theirstomachs are full of amniotic fluidright after birth. for this reason some babiesare not very hungry at first. as their stomachs grow and they get rid of this fluid, they are able to eat more. usually newborns eat aboutevery two to three hours or so

whether it is daytimeor night time. sometimes they need to eat only one to one and a halfhours after their last feeding. this pattern is calledcluster feeding. in the first few days of life, babies often arehungriest at night and do most of theircluster feeding then. this can be quitetiring for new parents so make sure you take everychance to nap during the day

when your baby is sleeping. limit visitors during the day for these first fewdays to make sure you and your baby get allthe sleep you need. babies will show youwhen they are hungry by licking their lips,sucking on their hands or opening their mouths wide when you touch theirlips or cheeks. your baby shouldshow you these cues

at least every few hours. if it has been about twoand a half to three hours since the last feeding, unwrap your babydown to the diaper and use skin-to-skin contactto help or her wake up and get interested in feeding. some parents worry thatallowing their baby to feed very frequently willspoil their baby. you cannot spoil your newborn.

try to feed your babywhenever he or she shows you hunger cues and beforehe or she start to cry. crying causes air toenter a babies stomach leaving less room for milk. crying also causes babiesto be gassier and fussier. you will find thatyour baby is happiest when you feed her just as sheis starting to get hungry. brest feeding is thehealthiest type of feeding for new babies andhas many benefits

for their new mothers as well. for newborns, breastfeedingis especially important in helping fight off infections because the mother's earlymilk called colostrum has a lot of infectionfighting properties. breastfeeding also helpsto lower a baby's chance of developing asthma, acondition of the lungs that causes problemswith breathing. eczema, an itchy skin condition.

type one and type two diabetes, childhood leukemia, obesity and sudden infantdeath syndrome. babies are born withnatural instincts to help them breastfeed. just placing a babyon a mother's chest whilst she is layingback a little bit will bring out the baby'snatural feeding insticts. babies can often findtheir way to the breast

and latch on withoutany help at all. sometimes babies can havedifficulties breastfeeding just as some babies can have difficultieswith bottle feeding. our nurses will help you learn how to breastfeed your baby. we also havelactation consultants or breastfeeding specialists who can help you if youare having any problems.

breastfeeding is thehealthiest choice for both moms and their babies. on rare occasions,some mothers and babies are not able todirectly breastfeed. if you will be bottlefeeding your baby breast milk or formula, wewill also help you learn how to do this safely. whether breast feedingor bottle feeding, it is important to feedyour baby when hungry

and until she or he is content. babies show contentmentby falling asleep after a good feeding or by pushing the nippleout of their mouth. babies often pause alittle during feeding to take a rest to decide ifthey are hungry for more milk. after you baby hastaken this rest, see if he or she isinterested in feeding more by squeezing your breastto give a little more milk

or by tickling your baby'slip with your nipple. if you baby doesn't seeminterested in feeding anymore, see if he or she needs to burp. most babies will beable to bring up a burp within a few minutes, while other babies maynot need to burp at all. an excellent way to judgehow well your baby is eating is by noting the number of wetand dirty diapers each day. your baby should haveat least one dirty

and one wet diaper inthe first day of life. then one more of eachfor each day older. so on the second day thereshould be at least two wet and two dirty diapers and on the third daythree of each and so on. this starts leveling offto about six to eight of each wet anddirty diaper per day when your baby'sabout one week old. it is a good idea tobuy lots of diapers now.

in the first few days, ababy's poops are very dark and tarry lookingand are very sticky. these poops are called meconium. a baby usually passesall of her meconium in the first two days of life. then the stools start to getless sticky and turn green. then brown, then yellow. when you see these changes, you can feel goodknowing that your baby

is feeding very well. the most excitingevents after a birth is finding out thebaby's birth weight. your baby will beweighed right after birth and then early each morningduring your hospital stay. most babies will lose about8% of their birth weight in the first few days of life. this is because they are born with extra fluid in their body

to help them stay hydrated and when they peethey lose this weight. the first few stoolscalled meconium also weigh a lot and this causes babiesto lose weight too. some babies will lose morethan 8% of the birth weight if their mothers had alot of fluid during labor or if their labor was very long. we will help watchyour baby's weight

and make sure he or she is losing the rightamount and not too much. by about day four, your newborn willstop losing weight and then will start gainingabout a half an ounce a day. babies are usually backto their birth weight by the time theyare two weeks old and some get there sooner. feeding your baby often athis or her early feeding cues

and at least every three hours helps keep your baby fromlosing too much weight. it also helps your babystart gaining weight and the right amountat the right time. remember to feed your babyat the first sign of hunger and until she or heis totally content. (soft playful piano notes) one of the biggesttransitions for a new baby is learning to be awayfrom his or her mother.

while living in your belly, you held your baby all the time so it'll be natural for yourbaby to want to be with you all the time after birth. a mother's touch makes the baby feelsafe and secure. we strongly recommendagainst falling asleep in bed with your baby. mothers are often verysleepy after labor

and from their pain medicine as well as from the baby'sfrequent night time feedings. falling asleep inbed with your baby increases the riskof suffocation and of falling out of the bed. our hospital beds are narrow so they are especiallyunsafe for bed sharing. if you are feedingyou baby in bed and you feel sleepy,

please let your nurseor support person know so that they can helpyou hold your baby. when you are finished feeding, place your babyinto the bassinet so that you both can havea restful safe sleep. after the birthit will be helpful to find ways to make yourbaby feel comfortable lying alone in the bassinet, whether awake or asleep.

while you're in the hospital, we will teach you how to helpyour baby feel comfortable sleeping alone in the bassinet. we'll also teach you howto make her sleep time the safest to help preventa condition called sids or sudden infant death syndrome. having your baby sleepon his or her back is one of the bestways to prevent sids. it is also reallyimportant to make sure

there are no loose blankets,pillows or stuffed animals in your baby's sleep space. you and your partner need to sleep wheneveryour baby sleeps. this is especiallyimportant during the daytime so you can be morerested at night for night time feedings. (cheerful piano music) (baby whimpers)

remember to limit visitorsduring the daytime so you can get your sleep. please ask visitors not tocome in between two and four in the afternoon sothat everyone canhave some quiet time and a nap. we have signs that youcan put up on your door when you are taking a nap so that no oneinterrupts your sleep. it's a good idea to ask visitors

to wash their hands beforethey hold your baby. baby's immune systems arenot well developed yet so they are at a high riskfor getting infections. as we mentioned earlier, breastfeeding helps babiesdevelop their immune system and can help fight off infection but they are still atrisk of getting sick. we also recommend that you donot allow anyone with a cough, cold, fever or othercontagious illness to visit you

or your baby in thefirst few months of life. (gentle piano notes) one other important thingto know about babies is that they can crya lot, this is normal. crying is a baby'sspecial way of saying she or he is hungry,uncomfortable, or stressed about something. sometimes babies seem tocry for no reason at all. one of the best waysto calm a fussy baby

is to put her skin-to-skinwith her mother or another care giver. another way to helpcalm a fussy baby is with swaddling. swaddling means wrappinga baby in a blanket. holding a baby close and gentleswaying, rocking or jiggling is also very calming. having a baby suckon your own hand, an adults finger or a pacifier

can help calm a crying baby too. we do recommend waiting onintroducing a pacifier however until you knowbreastfeeding is going well. and sometimes sucking on apacifier can cause problems with how a baby breastfeeds. it is also important to seeif you baby is hungry first, anytime it looks likeshe wants to suck. babies like a shushingsound because it sounds like the noises inside the womb.

you can make a sound like (shushes) in your baby's ear tohelp calm her down. if you have a very fussy baby especially one who'shard to calm down, it is important to havefriends or relatives close by who can help. if you are feeling overwhelmedwith your baby's crying, gentle place yourbaby in the bassinet

and ask a friend orfamily member to help while you take a break. if you are alone it is also okay to put your baby in the bassinet and walk away for a while togive yourself a little break. the bassinet is a safe place and it will be okay for yourbaby to be on his or her own for a little while. remember that it isnormal for babies to cry.

sometimes babies cryfor long periods of time and sometimes forno reason at all. it is important to knowthat you should never ever shake your baby tostop the crying. shaking can be very dangerous and can cause serious braindamage and other injuries. (soft cheerful music) some parents choose tohave their son circumcised for cultural, religiousor personal reasons.

if you would likeyour son circumcised you will be asked tosign a consent for and watch a video thattalks about circumcision and reviews it'srisks and benefits. your baby's pediatric provider will make sure your baby'spenis and foreskin look healthy and that he is healthy enough to have thecircumcision performed. if your pediatric provider doesnot think your baby is ready

to have a circumcisionperformed before you go home or a provider is not availableto perform the circumcision, we will help coordinate thisprocedure as an out-patient. because a circumcision isnot medically necessary, some insurance companies do not cover the costof the procedure. check your company's policy before having yourbaby circumcised to find out whether or notthey will help pay for it.

there are a few otheractivities that will happen in the birthday pavilionbefore you go home. our secretary willcome to your room to help you fill outa birth certificate. you will use your baby's name if you have made a decision. but a name is not requiredto complete the form. you will however need asocial security number for both parents as wellas your places of birth.

when it's almost timeto bring your baby home, we will help you set up yourfirst medical appointments with your baby'sprimary care provider. - [woman red top]that's perfect. - if you have not chosena primary care provider for your baby yet, we can help you pickone soon after birth. we will need to have aspecific provider's name to set up your baby'sfirst appointments

and to include on the newbornmetabolic screening card, so the results will goto the right provider. this is especially importantif there are any problems on this early screening. before you go home, a clinical resource coordinator will meet with youto help you identify your discharge needs aswell as to talk to you about any community resourcesthat may be of use to you.

she can help set up a homevisit with a visiting nurse if there are concernswith your baby's feeding, weight or jaundice. or if you need tohave a nurse visit you for any complicationsyou may have had, either with thepregnancy or delivery. the resource coordinatorcan also help you obtain a rental breast pump,if that is needed and a referral to a goodbeginnings volunteer

if one is availablein your area. by law and for safety's sake, your baby must ride in anapproved car seat at all times. a nurse will lookat your car seat to make sure it isan approved one. we will help showyou how to make sure your baby fits wellin his car seat. we will also help you learnhow to use it properly. the safest place in yourcar for your baby's car seat

is in the back middleseat facing to the rear for his first year of life. if your baby was bornbefore 37 weeks gestation we will also performa special safety test to make sure that hisbreathing and heart rate remain healthy whilein the car seat. your baby's nurse anddoctor will help teach you how to best care for your baby and discuss any medical problems

breastfeeding for dads

jamilah ellis: we saw a lot of cases where dad kind of felt left out of the breastfeeding relationship. a good way to bring them into the relationship is to have them be there with mom while she’s breastfeeding the baby. he can do something simple like read the baby a story while the baby is nursing. another great thing that helps babies in the really early stages is skin-to-skin contact. the baby is there in just their diaper and the dad without his

shirt, and he can hold the baby like that. that’s very comforting and soothing for a new baby. shaune: my husband, the best support system that i have. he was always kind of, like, on me in terms of, “have you pumped? how many times have you pumped today?” he kind of armed himself with the knowledge in terms of what i should be doing as well. patrice: i’m a single mother in that i’m not married, but i do

have my son’s dad’s help. he’s really supportive, like, emotionally. he’s supportive financially. he’s there. you know, we share responsibilities. we do daycare drop-off and pick-up together. we, you know, he comes over to do bath time and bedtime. dr. sahira long: my husband did everything that he could to make

sure that my breastfeeding experience was what i wanted it to be. he would, you know, without fail, get up, change my son, have him ready and in position and all i had to do was get him from him, nurse him, and then lay him back down. so, you know, it was the knowledge that, you know, you’re not just saying, “because you’re breastfeeding, this is your thing. you get up all night.” he would actually do the stuff that would wake the baby up the most beforehand so that after i nursed he

would fall back asleep right away and i didn’t have to worry about doing the other stuff.

breastfeeding flu shot

female voiceover: let's saya patient comes in the clinicand they're trying to decide if they want to get the flu vaccine. as with any decision, they'reprobably going to weigh the risksand the benefits of the flu vaccine. as healthcare workers, it's reallyimportant that we understandthese risks and benefits so that we can talk to ourpatients about it and helpthem make an educated decision. so let's start out by thinking ofthe more common risks and benefits. with the flu shot, the most common risk isgoing to be pain at the site of injection or muscle soreness wherever the patientreceives the intramuscular injection. for some patients, particularlythose who are afraid of needles,

you also might hear reportsof lightheadedness afterreceiving the flu shot. so although these are the more commonrisks associated with the flu vaccine, let's remember that they'renot experienced by everyone. not everyone thinksthat the flu shot hurts. not everyone is sore the next day andcertainly not everyone feels lightheaded after getting the flu shot. for patients who are particularlyconcerned about this, if available you can offerthem the nasal spray, flumist. this provides the same protectionagainst flu without using needles.

let's counter these common risks withthe common benefits of the flu vaccine. the most obvious of which of courseis you have a decreased chanceof getting sick with the flu. for patients who areparticularly pain averse, they don't want to get the flu vaccinebecause they think it's going to hurt, i would counter this by saying,"you know what? flu hurts a lot. "you're stuck in bed for days.it's completely miserable, "and if i was a patient making thisdecision, i would go with the flu shot "in this case because i wouldrather have soreness in the arm "for a few days than be stuckin bed for three to five days."

let's turn our focus now to some ofthe more rare risks and benefits. in 1976 there were reports ofmuscle weakness after patientswere getting the flu vaccine. we found out that this was because ofsomething called guillain-barre syndrome. guillain-barre syndrome is a nerveproblem that leads to muscle weakness and although there was neverany proof that the flu vaccineactually caused guillain-barre, since 1976 we've beenscreening for this condition to make sure that it doesn'tlead to severe complications. in contrast to this rare risk, we have some less common benefitsassociated with the influenza vaccine.

that is a decreasedchance of hospitalizations and a decreased chance of death as aresult of complications of the flu virus. so if you remember from before,flu can cause up to 200,000hospitalizations every year, and anywhere from 20 to40,000 deaths every year. so again, if i was a patienttrying to make this decision based on these morerare benefits and risks, i would go with the flushot in this case as well. because i would much ratheravoid hospitalization anddeath if at all possible. so these are some considerations tothink about on an individual level.

another important considerationis the impact that the fluvaccine has on the community. what happens to thispatient's family members or their coworkers, orclassmates if your patient is a healthcare worker. how does theflu vaccine affect their patients? well, there is no risk involved in gettinga flu vaccine when you think about it from the perspective of a family member. if you get vaccinated it's notgoing to affect your familymember in a negative way. it can really only affect yourfamily members in a positive way. that's because if you're less likelyto get infected by the influenza virus,

you're also less likely to spread it. we call this herd immunity. herd immunity protects those around you, your close contacts and asa result it's definitely abenefit of becoming vaccinated. so when we think about allof these benefits together, i think it's pretty clear to seethe benefits outweigh the risks and that getting vaccinated againstthe flu virus is a good decision.

breastfeeding flat nipples

[music] - kathy: step nine is animportant one. when we first startedworking on our 10 steps, we looked at what theliterature was saying and it recommended no pacifiers. we simply removed them fromthe unit and everybody was on board. we came up with alternativeways of comforting babies. you too can get rid of thepacifiers in your hospital.

we set a date, we let ourphysicians know so they can tell families,we let our staff know. it's important to have thatstop date because if you say, "we're going to get rid ofthem," but you don't have an actual date, then theytend to always stay around for long periods of time. when babies need comfort,we just use a glove finger and allow the baby to suckleon our finger to calm down. we can also teach our families,our mothers and our dads,

how to calm babiesin this manner also. a need for a pacifieris just not there. - pacifiers can maskfeeding cues. at this point we are tryingto really establish a great milk supply for mom. babies don't alwaysfeed on schedule. sometimes a pacifier comesinto play to kind of subdue that feeding cue, which isnot really great in terms of breastfeeding success.

we routinely give them in thecase of a circumcision for comfort suckling and then wetoss them before babies are returned to their moms. the american academy ofpediatrics recommends waiting at least a month prior togiving any artificial nipples or pacifiers, that includesa bottle as well. we try to be on the offensiveinstead of the defensive. we tell moms in our tours andin our pre-natal classes that if you'd like to use one,you may, you will have to

bring your own but hereare the risk involved. - as health-care professionals,we can reduce the use of artificial nipples bytelling mothers the reason why we don't want to give abottle nipple or a pacifier when they're establishingbreastfeeding is because we want to build the milkfactory and the baby is the general contractor. - one of the things that i liketo talk about at the 36 week visit is the importance ofavoiding early introduction

of pacifiers and bottle nipples. especially in the early days,it's very important to get as much stimulation to the breastas possible to help the milk to come in as soon as possibleand to help get a good milk supply established. if there's some reason that thebaby can't feed at the breast early on, we prefer notto introduce artificial nipples. we would prefer to use analternative method to feed the baby such as spoon feedingor cup feeding.

- dr. hurst: whensupplementation is necessary, the way we protect breastfeedingis how we deliver it and what we deliver. we have the motherexpress colostrum. we can deliver that byspoon or finger feeding with a syringe or with a cup. we again discuss those optionsand then depending on what her decision is, we willproceed from there. - the cup feeding probably hasthe most evidence behind it,

has been studied themost extensively. the staff trainingis key in this. - ann: the more we educate theparents, it has to begin also with our staff to havecompetent and confident bed-side nurses who from thebeginning start talking about breastfeeding and who give outthe evidence-based knowledge that we know what we'retalking about and this is a good thing, providing theperfect food for your baby. that's our responsibility.

- i feel like i make a bigdifference every time i can help a mom breastfeed,even if it's one feed, one day, one week, six months.

breastfeeding first time

breastfeeding is baby led. that meansthere's no set schedule. just feed your baby when he's hungry dayor night in the early weeks. that should be at least eight to 12feedings and each 24-hour period. including nighttime. it's natural that your newborn needs toeat often in the beginning. --my baby was like waking up every hour. so it was like the baby is not getting enough milk. maybe i don't have milk. maybe i'm not produce enough milk.

so i called my nurse said she told methat it was completely fine. in the end it was you know for comfort as well. your newborn eats often because the size of his stomach can only hold very small amounts of milk at each feeding

breastfeeding essential oils

what are the signs my milk is drying up? if you do not have those embarrassing momentsanymore when your breasts leak when the baby cries, that's a possible sign. or it may be that i've already fed the baby,or that i'm not experiencing the same pavlovian response. if you feed the baby and he's still hungryafterward, that's a sign the milk is drying up. or a growing baby. in theory, the baby drinks as many ouncesas their age per sitting up to about eight

months old. it is not like i have a flow meter to tellme how much i'm making. one indicator you do have is time. if thebaby stops feeding sooner than he used to, and it isn't because he ate the half of thecheerios he didn't drop on the floor, you know you aren't making as much milk. he really is not eating solids yet. you can tell if the baby is not getting enoughmilk. if he tries to drink and doesn't get what he wants, he'll protest loud enough. or he might need to be burped, or is sickor cold.

let's say he stops feeding and then startscrying. break out a bottle or sippy cup with juice or baby formula. after breastfeeding? that's redundant. it is not if the milk is drying up. afterhe stops feeding from you, if he eagerly drinks a few ounces from this other source, you'llknow you're not providing enough. what could i do if my milk is drying up? there's an old wives tale about drinking beerto increase production. but it isn't healthy for both of us to haveeight ounces. you could try to make sure you are fully hydrated,so you aren't running dry due to hydration.

or express extra in the shower or with a milkpump to increase demand. i already have a twelve pound demanding littlething. the milk supply should increase if your bodysenses more demand throughout the day. now i'll feel like a cow trying to pump soi can stay a good mother. giving him cow's milk baby formula as a replacementdoesn't mean he won't love you any less.

what you get is orange, but really bitterorange because it is the peel. i feel like i am going to cry sorry. and then someonehas decided to sweeten the bitterness it was too sour so they have added salt to counteract the sweetness and what you get like is blurghh. it is like eating nuclear waste prettymuch yeah, in the nicest possible way. i am going to stick to something like just throatsweets just have a sore throat because it is probably going to remove your throat, iam glad i tried it, you can see if you are going for a marriage proposal with that itis not going to work. these ones are preserved prunes, ok sorryabout the bowl down there it was a bit of a protest, it is fine ben does the washingup anyway preserved prunes with salt sugar

and orange oh my gosh with prunes a popularsnack to have any time of day. so basically the same thing, orange peel, liquorice, salt,oh no not liquorice, this is pretty much hell to me! sodium cyclamate, never heard of thatsounds like someone saying �hey do you want to go for a cycle mate�. we have got somesalt with us we have some salt, hey we are living the dream, apparently it has got ahoney flavour, oh nice! so it could help with the throat again, but that looks more likeit could be a throat sweet rather than foot peel, so a prune preserved in our lovely orangecoating, what could go wrong? nice and squidgy, double wrapped for extra protection, no pregnancyon these prunes, triple wrapped, oh my gosh it is going to be like one of those thingswith a lady where you keep opening it and

they get smaller and smaller. oh wow nice,there are so many things we can say that looks like, prunes are fantastic for old peopleshomes it is good to keep them regular and have a high fibre diet maybe if these do notwork i will drop them in at my hometown where i live and give them to some of the old peoplethere! oooh a stone, i can taste the liquorice sorry man, you do not want to see the bowldown there, liquorice guys you know i am gagging, i hate that! there is definitely some liquoricein there, and again with the salty sweet thing i am not convinced, you still have it thereand the stone is still there? amazing. so it is not too bad overall james opinion, icannot stand it, as a gift to jamie for this collaboration i will leave you with this packet,is that all good?! i would rather you did

not.so next up is something called biscuit egg roll milk. these are egg rolls made from eggs,ok good start. it is very crispy and a larger version of wafer sticks. i reckon we are infor a treat, yeah i agree, i cannot see any liquorice around there, or salty sweet things,bits of orange peel, delicious and crunchy so that is a biscuit egg roll mix so it lookslike a nice classic box, yeah safety, what we need right now is water and safety. ohhere we go look �always for you� that is sweet. my mums wallpaper in the house usedto have that sort of packaging on it like a dado rail, we should put some egg roll onthis. looks like a brandy snap right, it does or the sort of thing you would put in a hotchocolate and suck it through. but it is definitely

much more like a pancake, it smells much moreeggy, i cannot work out if it is going to be sweet or savoury yet which is never a goodthing, oh we put some orange peel in it we chinese are crazy, ok um, i want to smokeit, ooh! crumbly, softer yeah, i really expected a big like snap to it, it is quite bland though.it does feel like a plain pancake that has been rolled up and somehow crispified it feelslike there should be something coated on it or inside it, you know what it is missing,chocolate through the middle, oh my gosh, nutella and ricotta mixed in there, pluggedat both ends, with liquorice and foot peel on top! maybe not, yeah i am a fan of that,this one has potential we can work with that good invention china!i am really intrigued by this one it is a

lichee flavour coconut jelly now i like allof those things, i have never had a lichee, never? in a chinese restaurant you get dessert,no where i live you get mcdonalds and if you want to splash out there is a burger kingtoo, ok so they are like this fruit that comes in a hard case but in the middle of it youget this really slimey eyeball type thing, i have not sold it very well it is amazing.lichee flavour coconut individually wrapped jelly lichee and coconut flavour i have hada coconut i am not that old school but we know what they are although i live the otherside of the uk there are coconuts in some supermarkets and the internet, yeah we havedial up, mum get off the phone. here we go individually cupped, that phrase could beused many ways to explain that shape they

look a bit like nipples i could be breastfeeding,it is an odd shape that looks almost like an ice cube shape kind of thing. and it doeslook like there are little bits of squares in mine that would be the coconut, oh yes,this could be nice! we need a spoon for this or we could do it like the old school nightout gentlemans jelly shot but we will do it sophisticated. do you know what i read theother day? a spoon is just a small bowl on the end of a stick, and a fork is like somebodywith 3 toes on the end of a handle. sorry! it is definitely jelly like, oh wow yep arewe going for it, yep here we go�. it is manageable but just feels like i am chewingjust like an exercise or something to do like a chore. there is nothing wrong with thatat all, that is lichee, that is coconut, and

that is jelly. i can taste the coconut, notsure about the lichee, definitely the gelatine i did bite into a little bit of coconut andgot this awesome tropical explosion. damn i just swallowed it and stuck with the licheemission so your first experience of lichee, it was alright i think i could never haveit again. so next up is something called a red beanbar, i had a moment just then when i thought it looked a bit like a skyscraper and i amnot going to bore you with that. looks quite cool actually like a cake surrounding it,it might be the walky talky building you are talking about if i can get it i will postan image of it on the video. it says it is a pastry bar with a red bean paste fillingnow this must be the red bean paste filling

in there big old chunk of it red bean pasteis popular and goes well with tea or by itself, now i would have said pastry, sweet, red beansounds a bit savoury, thinking it could taste like a kidney bean cake or something. we justgot it out of the wrapper and it looks almost glazed particularly that side wow, it hasbeen really shined up someone has worked really hard to get that shine up. smells kind ofsweet and savoury it smells a bit like a cinnamon bun, yes it smells a bit like a cinnamon buni really hope it is chocolate. i know it looks like chocolate if that was a chocolate cake,that amount like that, oh my gosh! are we ready? it feels like it should just be likechocolate and then it would take it up to another level the sweetness is definitelythe edge of it and the red bean paste are

we losing you? i do not like that. it is definitelya sweeter edge and the middle it is where sweet and savoury clashes but other than theorange peel in a good way, this battle of sweet and savoury is a good one. i do notlike that, i do not know what it is, i cannot get on with that, i might be taking this withme, it may be because i looked at it and thought, ah chocolate pastry. that is right like thoseorange peel things, it could be so much better if it was chocolate this would be heaven!now this looks very similar to our lichee jelly because it is fruit jelly, fruit jellyok, individual fruit jellies that taste like a variety of fruit. it looks like a packetof old school boiled sweets it does, you know when you get into your granddads car and healways has a packet of boiled sweets sometimes

in the tin dusted, yeah always stuck together,it looks just like that. jelly form that would have been amazing, good for car journeys thiswould be pretty much heaven i am not too sure, are we going to spoon it again or? again differentshape pot and there are little bits in there, is that coconut? i have a pineapple and appleon mine, i have got the same, pineapple apple kiwi lichee grapes so there is some sort ofchunky fruit in there. it says in you need to pop it, oh wow, yours is luminous, wowlike proper neon it has a tail on it too, i am just going to shove it right down. normallywhen i really like something i get into r kelly mode, like �my mind is telling meno, but my body is telling me yes� the thing i cannot get over is the chunks in there,i think there are chunks of apple in this

one so i can taste that i think it is quitenice now, yeah i like that, it would go really well with some vodka in it.these are roasted chestnuts, yes basically whole roasted chestnuts also it has some frenchhere which sounds like a sandwich shop pret a manger maybe they are translated to chestnutgood thing is no trans fat and it is a good source of vitamin c i got confused when isaw the front because i thought they were horse chestnuts obviously conkers like inthe uk we have conkers fights but they are horse chestnuts which humans cannot eat buthorses can or brains, oh yeah! or something else, back to granddad again. ok what is theinitial scent, by the buttocks of some angry chinese man that does not smell very tempting,they are peeled ready to eat, so what are

we waiting for!? it is a spoon job i do notwant to touch it, it does smell a bit like a horse. chestnuts to me are like walkingthrough the streets of london or new york, roasted chestnuts, you get this amazing smelland think ah it is christmas, this smells like christmas gone very wrong and they looklike kidney stones too. here we go�.. oh gosh! that has made my eyes water that isnot pleasant, i was really looking forward to most of these today it has been a realtaste adventure, we have one more to go but this was soft and mushy almost like the textureof you know when you whizz up beans to make bean burgers that is not good you get thesmell and then the texture there is nothing good about that has ruined christmas for me,christmas is cancelled, chestnuts roasting

on an open fire, leave them. makes your tongueturn into a lizard. i am really sorry i do not like that.next up is some packaging i do not really know what it is but looks like the leaf adamand eve wore over their private parts, you have kind of described what it is, green andleaf, it is tea! a type of famous green tea in china it goes great with any pastry ortea biscuit, sounds fantastic, we might want a cup and some boiled water. ok, i was justgoing to take it straight. hmm well i hate tea this is it. do you not like tea? you comefrom the uk how can you not like tea?! i did a tea food fear where i got a range of teasand tried to taste test them and it got to the point it was more milk than tea and ijust about managed to finish it but still

got to do it. we have our equipment althoughi am quite happy to skip it, no i like green tea, so i will add this in now and leave afew for a closeup but it just looks like the remains of bird poo to me. these are tea leaveswe could be making this completely wrong of course. lets give it a stir, welcome to teamaking. give it a stir with the non chestnut end of my spoon. it is sort of going a spinachkind of colour, you know green tea is good for you though you should definitely try itthe closest one i liked was the honey and lemon tea but i just had to put honey in it.are we ready to try that, it does look like a swamp where you would not want to spendmuch time. smell it, what does it smell of? because that is where we are going to getthe intensity, it smells like bored water.

just like water that is stagnate, i thinki can actually see some eels in this anyway. there is no eels in it. remember those thingsyou could put into water and they would come to life? monkey nuts, um nope not monkey nutsthis is what it is i feel like it is going to turn into some sort of chinese monsterand takeover the sorted kitchen i am scared. if i slip i am going to pour boiling hot waterover my hands there were no instructions were there nope, jamie is the supporter of teai am just the hater, i do like a good cup of builders, builders has got a blob of cementin it though right?! oh no, i cannot do that, so what we have done is put boiling waterin it too so it is probably quite warm, it is warm quite bland, i feel like i have goneinto a field where the grass has grown for

years and am just grazing like a cow. i reckonwe should have let it brew longer, i do not think it would change my opinion, it has thepotential to be really nice it does have a slight spinach quality to it, it could bespinach! it is different to other green tea that i have had but ok another gift for meto leave with jamie here, so that is it then guys have you got a favourite that we havegot there!? i am going to have to say my favourite was probably the lichee jelly i am going togo for the fruit jelly or the red bean paste thing, there is a bowl down there to supportthe ones i do not like. but guys if you enjoy this video, do not forget to give it a thumbsup, share, subscribe and comment and obviously subscribe to sorted food, jamie and his friendschannel if you have not already heard of it

where are you if you have not heard of itand thanks for the opportunity to collaborate this has been amazing. thanks for coming downand bringing me some really interesting food to taste. i am going to take them back onthe train now and stink it out! share your chestnuts with some strangers, ooooh.

breastfeeding elimination diet

what is it that professional dieticians dofor the moms or new moms? well we have to first of all consider whether that mom isbreast feeding - if she is breast feeding, she is going to need a lot more calories anda lot more protein. and we also have to consider what her life is like right now. so what wetry to do is to incorporate foods that they're already eating, but kind of freshen them upin a healthier way. so if they like mac and cheese, then we give them mac and cheese,but it's whole wheat and we put tomatoes in it and do some different things like that.but another thing we have to watch out for is that when we have moms that are over 200,250, sometimes close to 300 pounds , their bodies are very very sensitive to blood sugarfluctuations. so if you've very sensitive

blood sugar fluctuations, and that tends tohappen the bigger you are - and i would know - you need do dumb down the sugar and thecarbohydrates. and that's really what it is. and we give those moms plenty of fruits andvegetables, plenty of lean proteins, calcium and stuff like that. we just don't allow themto eat as much pizza, bread, pasta and stuff like that. and if you are a mom that is havinga weight problem, it could be one or two things. it could be you eat too much food, essentially,and you are eating a lot of the wrong stuff, or you are not eating enough. and we've hada lot cases where we give the moms their plan, and what they need to eat and they are, like,how am i going to eat all this food. and the reason is that they starve themselves untilabout 3 o'clock in the afternoon and then

they grab whatever it is, but it's probablynot something that's good for them. it's probably something that's going to make their bloodsugar spike. and so we try to get them to eat more during the day, and more foods thattheir body likes. going to the source, like lean proteins and fruits and vegetables anddairy and stuff like that. nuts. that's what we really try to do.

breastfeeding electric pump

hey guys! it's amy. welcome back to my channel. so i was lucky enough to stay at home with my daughter natalie and breastfeed for three months. i wish i could have stayed at home with herlonger, but some of us girls gotta get back to work and pay some bills! which means... pumping at work! so i had no clue on how i was gonna pump at work and i read all the different blogs and stuff but honestly... i kinda just wanted to watch someone do it so that i could see how it was done so i could figure out how i wanted to do it. so today, i'm gonna show you how i pump at work!

pumping can be a fairly time-consuming process. you'll be taking about 20 minutes of worktime several times a day so it's important to be able to pump andget back to work as quickly as possible make sure you check out my previousvideo "what's in pump bag!" for a supplies list of what i take with me each time i pump. before i went back to work, i madesure i talked to my employer beforehand about having a private space to pump. of course you'll need a table and a chair, but you'll also need an outlet to plug in your pump. the first thing i do is lay out a burp cloth on the table

and unpack all the things i will need: my hands free pumping bra a cooler bag where i keep my bottles and my pump parts i start by attaching the pump parts ontothe bottles and make sure they're tightly screwed on. this ensures a proper seal for optimal pumping. and then i can put on my pumping bra. i always make sure i wear a nursing bra and a top that i can easily unbutton or open up. you can also use a nursing cover if you feel like you need more coverage. then i clip my hair up to keep it out of the way because... nobody likes hair in their food! lol

and i carefully insert the pump flanges into the hands free pumping bra and makesure the flanges are centered over my nipples this is why this bra is so awesome because it holds up the pump parts for me. and then i insert the tubing into the breast pump connectors and plug in the other end of the tubing into the pump and turn on the dial tobegin pumping. and adjust the speed to my comfort level. the pump will start in the simulation phase. once i feel my milk starting to flow, i press the let down button, which starts the expression phase.

and i start the timer to pump for 20 minutes so to pass the time, i like to write inmy journal and think about my baby and document her milestones or i'll scroll through her pictures on my phone or maybe surf the net. so every once in a while, i massage mybreasts to try to get more milk out. this also helps if you have clogged ducts and can help stimulate a second let down. when i'm done, i just unplug the tubing and slowly remove the breast shields from the pumping bra and carefully place the bottleson top of the burp cloth

as i'm just unscrewing the breast shields, i also gently tap out any excess milk into the bottles... becauseevery drop counts! so i just combined the milk, and i like to turn the bottle to makesure i get all the little droplets on the sides. and then i label the milk so i knowexactly when i pumped it. so that's basically how i pump at work, inurse her in the morning around 6am and then my husband drops her off atdaycare and then i'm at work for about 8 hours. i pump three times a day starting at 9am, 12pm and thenagain at 2:30

for about 20 minutes per session. andthen i nurse her when i get home and then once again before bed. i hopeyou found this video helpful. let me know in the comments below if youlike seeing videos like this. thank you so much for watching! i'll see next video! bye!

breastfeeding day 1

hi. now i’m going to talk about what kindof diet you want to follow when you’re nursing your baby. most women when they’ve justhad a baby are very preoccupied with losing the extra baby weight, this is totally normal.however, you do want to make sure that you continue to get the kind of nutrients thatyour body needs. the first nutrients that are coming into your body are going out andtaking care of your baby. so you want to make sure that you have enough for that and that you alsothen have enough for you. so don’t forget about your own diet, you don’t just wantto be eating pizza and french fries and drinking soda. you really want to focus on what kindof nutrients you’re getting. so i’ve put out some of these things here. fruit is justabsolutely terrific of course, pineapple,

pears, bananas are super nutritious. i putout some peppers, whole grain pasta is wonderful, whole grain bread, eggs which you can havehard boiled if you’re on the run, yogurt. in the morning you might want to try wholegrain cereal with some raisins or oatmeal is even better. salads, nuts are terrificand milk if you can drink milk. so these are all very, very healthy choices for you to have.keep in mind and keep reminding yourself not to be critical of your own body. you mightnot have the same body that you had when you were 25 years old, but look what your bodyhas just given you. your body has just given you a baby and that is the most beautifulthing ever. so be easy on yourself, remind yourself of this, and remember to keep cherishingyour own body for having done this very magical

thing.

breastfeeding by man

(tranquil music) (babbling toddler) (funny sound effect from tv) - and my joint is clicking? - [toddler] yeah. on your leg. - wow.(funny sound effect) (funny gurgling from cartoon) (giggles) what is that sound? (hushed music)

are we done here? done? (funny sound effect from video game) oh. (music from video game) oh, boy. (snoring sounds) i got my hands full, don't i? hi, i'm like sitting here,and just in the zone.

i'm just relaxing. and he feels, like, one of the bestparts about breastfeeding is that i can actuallyhold a content baby, or he's going to be a toddler soon, but he's content, because he's got the boob. if it wasn't, you know, for the boob, well, maybe a pacifierdoes something similar,

but he would still probably run away with the pacifier in his mouth. but here he can't move,he can't go anywhere, so he's with me, and i get to enjoy him. just holding him, and looking at him. it's amazing. (music from tv) so yeah, that's one of the best parts. i mean, i don't thinkbreastfeeding has any negative

um, sides to it, besides in the beginning, or you know, if youexclusively breastfeed, then you probably can'tleave your baby at home, because they're not bottlefed. sweetie, don't shake my arm. so, um, so that, i guess, couldbe seen as a negative thing, that you can't, like,leave your child at home and go out on a date or something. well, to me it's not a problem,

because i don't go on dates. (laughing) i see my husband day in and day out. so, but yes, a date would be great. that's beyond my point. so, being able to breastfeed, nurse him like that on a couch, or in bed, is wonderful. good morning, sweetie.

look who else is awake! how are you? - i'm good. - oh, that's great. (laughs) oh my goodness. isn't that a lot of people? it sure feels like it to me. - [toddler] hey, did you see that fish? that fish was very poky.

- ah, pufferfish? - yeah. - yeah, pufferfish. all right, everyone. - [toddler] if something is - - this little guy is probablydone, so i'm going to go and feed myself before theseboys say they're hungry. ow ow ow! - [toddler] mom, are yougoing to go rest with-- - no biting!

- [toddler] are you goingto put avi to sleep-- - there you go. - [toddler] and rest, or something? - (laughing) biting me at the end. - [toddler] mom. - he's like, "hmm, let me see."(mimicking nibbling sound) (squealing child in background) okay, everybody. thanks for watching. bye.

breastfeeding by bf

i'm going to be showing you the football hold,which is a very good hold for moms who've had c-sections because it doesn't put anypressure on the abdomen. and if you do have any nipple damage, then this is a nice waytoo, to move the baby's mouth to a different position so as not to damage or let heal thepart that's already been damaged. so with this position, you're going to want to havegood support on your side, because you're going to want to bring the baby's bottom aroundnext to your side. basically put his or her legs up behind you, so that he's almost sittinghorizontally. you're going to take this arm and put it under your breast, and you canhold down this arm with your other hand. and you're going to support the baby's head hereunderneath, like we talked about in the cross

cradle position, so that you can guide himor her onto the breast easily. so, in this position, his mouth is horizontal, so i'mgoing to compress my breast more like a sandwich this time, and as soon as he opens his mouthwide, guide him onto the breast like so. let me show you that again. so i'm going to compressthe breast horizontally, and as soon as his mouth is open wide, i'm going to guide hishead onto the breast like so. and this is the football position. the other thing thatyou can do with football, is if your hand gets tired here, you can either pop your pillowup a little bit higher, or just get a rolled up wash cloth and just put it underneath yourhand for support. and baby's like this too. and then when they're done on this side, youcan just move the baby over, put his legs

up behind you and feed him on this side.

breastfeeding breast pain

what can cause shooting pain in breast duringpregnancy? do they ever have stabbing pains? my breasts shouldn’t be associated withanything violent. nursing is symbolic of maternal care, nurturing and peace. pains like that may occur when your breastsfirst start growing, though it is rarely painful. what can i do about it? unfortunately, over the counter pain medsdon’t do much for sudden and intermittent pain. you really need support. i have a lot of friends.

i meant for your breasts. you need to weara supportive bra, since the weight of the growing breasts can strain things and increasethe odds of pain. that’s on my to do list. you may need a sports bra for adequate support,because jostling and bobbling while walking strains growing tissue. i get the point. you should also decrease your salt intake.your breasts can now act as a source of water retention, which increases their weight. as if my ankles weren’t bad enough.

if you have bad water retention, drink a lotof water and get a lot of exercise. you have to get those fluids going. they are going, though mostly to my feet. cut back on the salt, go walking at leasthalf an hour a day and keep your feet up. that’ll lessen water retention. but if it is accumulating in my feet and iput them up, won’t i end up with more in my breasts? hopefully it will go where it needs to go,your bladder. the only pain i was planning for was childbirth.pregnancy brings more lifestyle changes than

i thought it would. when you get the sharp stabbing pains, hotpads and ice packs can help. do i alternate them? try one, and if that doesn’t help, try theother. so i alternate until i find one that works. it’s different for every person. i’ll just talk to the doctor about painrelievers that are safe for the baby.

breastfeeding benefits for mom

(playful music) >>steven samawi, md ob/gyn:- the decision to breastfeedis a very personal one. it helps to know thebenefits of breastfeeding both to you, and to your newborn baby. up to the first twomonths of your babies life it has no immune system. and so it depends on alot of the antibodies that you pass on through your breast milk. >>fonda mitchell, md ob/gyn:-it can alsominimize vaginal bleeding

that is occurring in thatimmediate post partum period, so that theuterus shrinks back down to normal, in a quicker pattern. >>vicki cohen, cnm certified nurse-midwife:- there is a reduction in childhood obesity, childhood respiratory infections, sudden infant death syndrome. all that said, it seems like breastfeeding should just becomenaturally and be very easy. and the process ofmaking milk is something

that comes naturally. your babies sucking ability is something but, it is not always easyto put those two together. >>danielle, 28 weeks pregnant:- breastfeeding was a verychallenging experience with my first one. we faced a lot of issues. but now i feel very confident. and once we were in a good place it was a great experience,and i look forward

to doing it again with my second. >>stella dantas, md ob/gyn:- for some women, it's very easy to nurse. and for other people it's a challenge. and again, every baby is different. we will be watching your baby's weight the first couple days inthe hospital very closely. and it is very normal to sometimes need some supplementationuntil your milk comes in. >>christie, second time mom:- with my first daughter,there was definitely some

bumps in the road. it was really wonderful tohave a lactation specialist to be able to help out with that. so i just had to givemyself a little bit of time and everything turned outsmoothly after a few weeks. >>vicki cohen, cnm certified nurse-midwife:- it's very rare forsomeone not to be able to breastfeed, but that doesn't mean that you won't need help. and we have a lot of help to offer you.

>>debra davis, md family medicine:- but if you're not able tobreastfeed, there are a lot of options to help supplementyour baby's nutrition and get you bonding withyour baby right away. most hospital nurses aretrained in lactation support and a lot of hospitals also havelactation consultants on staff. so just know there are a lot of resources to help you get your babystarted with nursing. >>oksana, 37 weeks pregnant:- when i went in to deliver my third child pretty much everybody knew that i had

issues with breastfeeding,and i want to know how to do it best. and so i had all theselactation specialists there to talk to me, so i guesssome of that helped. (laughs) >>fonda mitchell, md ob/gyn:- so it is a uniqueexperience for a lot of women and we look to create aregimen of lactation support depending on where things arefor you and for your baby.

breastfeeding baby poop

top 10 ways babies are really weird 10. some babies are really, really big. most babies will weigh between 5.5 and 10lbs,but some will truly tip the scales. the guinness book of world records reports that sig. carmelinafedele had a baby boy in italy who weighed 22lbs and 8 oz. in september 1955. more recently,in 2013 a 16-pound baby was born in california to mom sosefina tagalu. sammy was the biggestbaby born ever in california. jealous your kid didn’t show up super-sized? you mightwant to reconsider: sammie’s mom gained 110lbs during her pregnancy and at birth hewas too big to wear any of the diapers the hospital had. amazingly, also born in californiawas andrew jacob cervantez. the bouncing baby

boy weighed 15 pounds, 2 ounces on his january2014 birthday. the most startling fact? he was almost half the size of his mother, whowas a petite woman at 5 foot and 1 inch tall. 9. babies may (or may not) dream. what is sweeter than the sight of a sleepingbaby? especially for worn out new parents! many wonder, “what does our baby dream about?”there are differing opinions on the subject. quite likely because the subjects are unableto communicate verbally about their dreams with the researchers once they have wokenup. jodi mindell, ph.d., the associate director of the sleep center at the children’s hospitalof philadelphia thinks that baby’s dreams are for the most part silent. it is also thoughtthat babies spend nearly 50% of their time

in rem sleep, whereas adults spend 25% oftheir time in it. so therefore, their dreams may be longer than mom and dad’s are. however,psychologist david foulkes, a well-known expert on pediatric dreaming states that babies don’tdream. foulkes and others think that babies are dreamless for the first few years of theirlife. we can’t ask the babies themselves and we aren’t going to ask you which expertto choose. as new parents, simply smile and be happy that your child is sleeping. fornow! 8. some babies are born with teeth. one in 3 thousand of all babies is born withteeth. it’s perfectly normal, but can certainly come as a shock to anyone. getting a sweetsmile for that next pic on instagram is ideal,

but no new parent expects to see a toothygrin! neonatal teeth can put any mom’s thoughts of breastfeeding on hold, but otherwise thetiny teeth are simply part of life and it is recommended that they stay in as long asthey can. sometimes they have to be removed. these newborn baby teeth are often a bit wobbly.they certainly make any baby’s smile look more unique, as they will be one of very fewwith these teeth! 7. love that blonde hair? it could be differentpretty soon! if family and friends compliment your sweetbaby’s hair color or adorable curls, accept that it may all change in 6 months or so.this can be hard if the hair that comes in looks “just like” your mother-in-law andeveryone has starting remarking on the great

resemblance, so just be prepared. the haira newborn baby has doesn’t always represent the color they will have as they grow. sometimesthe color can change drastically – from blonde to bright red or from dark brown toblonde. it may seem odd, but your baby can also have sweet curls and these can changeas well. have a few cute hats handy, as hair may likely fall out during the process ofchanging color or a different hair texture. 6. one of every 2,500 babies is born withwebbed fingers or toes when a baby has webbing in their digits, itis also known as “syndactyly.” this makes a great scrabble word, ideal for a tripleword score by the way. it is thought to run in families. in a medical study of 3,000 patients,about 40% had family members who also had

webbing in their hands or feet. webbed fingersand toes may come as a bit of a surprise but are simply something which occur due to inheritedfamily genes. it happens during the sixth or seventh week of pregnancy, when typicallythe hand would start to form fingers and instead becomes webbed. webbed fingers and toes canbe treated with surgery if needed. 5. babies poop a lot and in many, many differentcolors! everyone knows that babies poop. not everyoneexpects them to poop a lot, though. get ready to change diapers up to 8 to 10 times a day!it also comes in a wide spectrum of colors that seems a bit odd at first glance but ispretty normal most of the time. as a newborn, poops are usually dark green, because theyare releasing built up substances from being

in the womb. if your baby is breastfed oron formula will determine quite a bit what their poop looks like. breastfed babies usuallyhave yellow poop which has little seed-like specs in it. if your baby takes formula thenpeeking into the diaper might reveal yellow poop, but also could also be tan or even greenishcolored poop. babies can also surprise you by not pooping for 24 to 48 hours, but aslong as they are eating, most often it is not a cause for any worries. so we hope we’veanswered some questions about baby poop you didn’t realize you had yet! 4. when you say “no” they understand youbut pretend they don’t ahh parenthood! you bring home this adorable,bundle of joy from the hospital and everyone

coos and compliments your new blessing. thenhe or she starts to get a little mischievous or simply too active. you say “no” andthose big, doe eyes look at you but they keep doing whatever they were doing before. dothey understand you? it’s not going to seem odd at all to your parents – they actuallycan understand you at about 6 months, and choose to listen to you only when they reachages 12 to 18 months. this is the type of odd fact that makes grandparents smile, knowingyou finally understand what parenting is all about. but will babies listen? experts sayto use words to describe what you don’t want them to do, that they are listening tothe tone in your voice and will respond to that more than the word “no.” be surenot to laugh when they do something you don’t

want them to do – even if spaghetti on thedog is totally adorable but really, really messy. they will pick up on the laughter andmay try to repeat what they’ve done. hopefully all of this will work, we have a feeling thesesame lessons will come in handy when they turn 16 too! 3. more of them are picky eaters than yourealize it’s an exciting day for new moms and dadswhen their kids graduate to solid food. but when they discover they’ve got a picky eateron their hands, it is a whole new set of challenges to face. about 20 to 50% of children are pickyeaters, according to their frustrated parents. babies can be picky eaters for a variety ofvery valid reasons. your baby may have a food

allergy, be teething or have an infection.it can be a symptom of an immature digestive system, or your baby may not be quite readyfor solid foods – some parents may have to wait to play “choo choo” train withthe strained apricots. but if your baby is simply being choosy about what they eat – andthere are no signs of teething or other issues – try introducing other, similar foods theymight enjoy. so if the pears were a big hit, try another sweet fruit, like applesauce ormango. 2. breastfeeding zones your baby out, andmore this fact is both odd and amazing: by breastfeedingyour baby they will often become sleepy and feel comforted. any new parent is going tosmile at the thought of having the power to

soothe their young child, right at their err,finger, tips. if you want your baby to drift off to sleep, breastfeeding them a bit canbe helpful. it is not just the act of being held by your mom, but also hormones that aretransferred through the breast milk. when babies are sick or fussy, they often willcry for breastfeeding. babies instinctually know that breastfeeding is soothing and asafe, secure time with the person who loves them the most, their mom. but not only doesthe baby know this is a special time, so does their mom. this is because a large amountof ‘love hormone’ called oxytocin is released into a woman’s brain as she breastfeeds.a study in the journal public library of science computational biology found that as the babynurses, the mother’s brain’s neurons send

out this hormone. typically these neuronsreceive information, instead of sending it out – which is pretty amazing. it may seema little odd how happy and blissed-out your baby can become simply by breastfeeding them.mom does too while she does it! 1. a few are born with a caul the odds are against it but it does happen:1 in 80 thousand babies is born with a caul. when a baby is born with a caul, they havepart of the birth membrane on their head. it sounds a little messy and it is, but forthose with a caul they were pleased that is made an appearance. in some cultures thisis considered to be a good luck sign, such as poland and russia. during medieval times,it meant not only good luck but that this

baby was meant for great things during theirlifetime. while being born with a caul is rare, it is considered to be harmless andnot something to worry about.
