The current infant formula shortage in the United States is causing a lot of stress to parents and care givers who rely on it to feed not only their infants, but also loved ones who may have complex medical needs. I've been fielding a lot of questions from worried moms about increasing their milk supply, re-lactating, and what to do if they have trouble locating the formula their baby normally drinks.

 Thanks to the signing of the Affordable Care Act in 2010, most health insurance companies cover the cost of a breast pump. The quality of the pumps covered can vary by insurance policy, so do your homework. Not all breast pumps are created equal.
 Whether traveling for work or leisure, as a breastfeeding mom you will need to pump if you are away from home without your little one. Here are a few of our favorite {pumping} things, plus tips for smooth travels with your breastmilk in tow.
 I cannot tell you the number of times I've made a home visit and midway through the conversation, the client sheepishly admits to hiding infant formula and bottles in a cabinet beforehand.

How do you know what is normal and what is cause for a call to the doctor?
 If there's one shared common concern among breastfeeding parents, it's whether or not one is making enough milk for their baby. With solid support and proven methods for building milk supply, parents can enjoy breastfeeding with confidence.
 I distinctly remember being pregnant with my second son in the wintertime and watching a cooking show that showcased peaches. I was nearly overcome with the insatiable hunger for a fresh, ripe peach- which wasn't to be found in Ohio in February. Few things hit the spot like these seasonal fruits and we're featuring 5 ways to savor the sweet summer flavor of peaches.
 Raise your hand if you really- truly, actual-factual know what a postpartum doula is?
Now if when asked to describe the role of a doula, your answer is something along the lines of, "Well, they're kinda like a nanny," then I am sorry to say, you do not really know! |
