A mothers mantra. I will be your biggest fan. I will be your protector. I will always defend you. I will be your friend. I will be your confidant. I will always be proud of you. I will love you unconditionally, because always and forever I will be your mama.
The perfect nourishment that provides everything your baby needs- when they need it.
Pumping 101 Flange fit is an important part of pumping. If your flange is too small, it can cause pain and nipple trauma, while being too large can compromise your seal and how much milk you express. Just like Goldilocks, you need your flange to be, Juuuuust Right.

Nourishing your baby and a kick a$$ workout all in one.
It’s so easy to focus on what you didn’t do perfectly today, but there is no such thing as a perfect mom. If you’re doing your best, you are doing GREAT. Remember, no one knows how to parent your children like you do. You were made for this!
Hand expression is a useful technique, and what's more it's convenient and free! It's a handy way to relieve engorged breasts. You can use it to stimulate milk production if you need to increase your supply, and to provide milk for your baby.
This is a great resource on latching your baby. Things to remember, Stay calm and don’t be discouraged. Breastfeeding is a learned skill and most mamas have a hard time learning at first. If baby has a lip or tongue tie, it can affect the latch and cause pain and difficulties while breastfeeding. Book an appointment with us if you think baby has either or both of these. No referral needed and your visit is covered by OHIP. https://latchedon.janeapp.com/

Breastfeeding can be a wonderful and sometimes challenging experience. Going into it feeling prepared can help make the whole process a whole lot easier for you and your baby, especially when you’re first getting the hang of it. Here are some of our tried and true tips for nursing mamas. 1. Patience. Go easy on yourself it won’t always be perfect, but what you’re doing is amazing and so worth it. 2. Prenatal vitamins. Continuing to take your Prenatal Vitamins while brea...stfeeding can help to make sure you're getting nutrients that you may be lacking from diet alone. 3. Nursing pillow. Using a nursing pillow will help you properly position your baby and take some physical stress off your body when feeding. 4. Nursing bra. A nursing bra provides comfort, support and convenience. 5. Netflix. A newborn will usually nurse for 20-45 minutes (or longer) per feeding, so it’s the perfect time to catch up on some of your favourite shows. 6. Nursing pads. Prevent leaking through your tops by having nursing pads handy to absorb any milk leaks and unintentional let-down. 7. Water. Staying hydrated while breastfeeding is crucial, so it’s smart to up your daily water intake. Try a keeping reusable water bottle where you nurse to help you remember to drink it. 8. Support. The first few months of breastfeeding can be physically, mentally and emotionally challenging. Lean on your partner, mama friends and loved ones for support. 9.Lactation supplement. Tara can recommend herbal supplements to support healthy lactation and breast milk production. 10. Nursing-friendly clothes. Comfy clothing will allow for easier access, especially when feeding on-the-go. 11. Nipple balm. Soothe and nourish nursing nipples with Nipple Cream. (Find a product that is designed for breastfeeding, so there’s no need to wipe off before nursing.)when feeding. (Our Nurse Practitioner can prescribe one for you at your visit) 12. Breast pain relief. Using hot or cold packs can help relieve some of the soreness associated with breastfeeding. You don’t need a fancy product a simple warm washcloth or ice pack will do the trick. 13. Nursing scarf. If you’ll be nursing in public, some moms like to have a nursing scarf for more discreet feedings. 14. An app. Breastfeeding? There’s an app for that. Some of our favourites help you track feedings, locate public places to nurse, or even put you in instant contact with an expert. Check out latchME, Baby Breastfeeding Tracker or LactMed (just to name a few) and see what suits you best. 15. Help. Never be afraid to get help. Grab a trusted book for tips, book an appointment with Tara our seasoned lactation consultant who can help identify and solve any issues you may be having.
