Download or read book Breastfeeding Doesn t Need to Suck written by Kathleen Kendall-Tackett and published by American Psychological Association. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2023 Prose Award Finalist Breastfeeding Doesn’t Need to Suck shows mothers how to navigate their breastfeeding journey while also caring for their mental health. Breastfeeding Doesn’t Need to Suck contains information that you will not find in other breastfeeding books, such as a thorough discussion of breastfeeding’s impact on sleep, safe (and unsafe) bedsharing, and how where babies sleep impacts their mothers’ mental health. This book describes what effective help looks like and gives specific suggestions for partners, grandmothers, and friends who want to help. Mothers will also learn how to navigate healthcare systems that can often undermine breastfeeding and mental health. Postpartum is hard, no matter how you feed your baby. Yet formula companies tell mothers that all of their problems will be solved if only they would switch. It’s not true; these issues will still be there even if mothers stop breastfeeding. These are the five “I”s of new motherhood: idleness, isolation, incompetence, identity, and intensity. If mothers are unprepared for these feelings, they can undermine both her breastfeeding and her mental health. Breastfeeding Doesn’t Need to Suck provides information on common breastfeeding problems, such as nipple pain and low milk supply, while also keeping mothers’ mental health in mind. Breastfeeding, when it’s going well, protects mothers’ mental health. Conversely, breastfeeding problems increase the risk of depression and anxiety. Dr. Kathleen Kendall-Tackett is both a psychologist and an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant, with more than 30 years’ experience in both lactation and mental health. Breastfeeding Doesn’t Need to Suck is an evidence-based guide full of practical advice with the goal of helping mothers and babies navigate postpartum and come through it happy, healthy, and securely attached.

Breast feeding is a great way to connect with your newborn. It helps to build and strengthen the mother baby bond. The milk you make is the best food for your baby. It has all the stuff your baby needs to grow and stay healthy. Let’s start by talking about colostrum. Even in a small amount it gives the baby a lot of good nutrition and helps protect it from illness. It helps your baby stay healthy by giving your baby some of your own immunity from disease. Colostrum made when you're pregnant and at 2 to 3 days after birth. It is made in small amounts. This is perfect for your baby because its stomach is really small at that time. Many mothers have the common worry about how much her baby is eating. It is a normal fear that most mothers have. The baby has brown fat that it uses for energy and it swallows a lot of fluid during birth. It will use both for energy while its learning to breast feed. If you’re concerned you can supplement with donor breast milk or formula if you want. It is recommended that you supplement after feedings and try to use a breast pump and supplement your own breast milk after every feeding. Remember breast feed first then pump then supplement what you pump if you don’t have extra milk from a earlier time. Remember breastfeeding is natural but not easy. You will have a learning curve. You will learn how to feed your baby and he/she is learning how to eat for the first time. Frustration and worry is normal for any mother who will breastfeed. Remember to just keep trying and stay at it. It takes time and practice. The baby has never done this before so it’s learning everything. When you finally get it it’s a beautiful way to bond with your child and is worth all the hard work.
