How To Naturally Increase Your Milk Supply
Since we can’t measure breast milk intake the way we can formula, it is easy to be insecure about your milk supply. If you feel your milk supply is low, here are some suggestions on how to increase it: Take care of yourself. Eat well and drink plenty of fluids. During nursing, try not to diet. You are still establishing your supply and need a minimum of 1800 calories each day while you are lactating. Fun fact: if you eat high quality foods and limit fats and sweets, you will usually lose weight more easily than a mother who is formula feeding. Nurse frequently Try to get in a minimum of 8 feedings in 24 hours, and more i...

What's new in midwifery - sort of - 30th April 2022
A new article, but historical, hence the rather odd title for this post.An article, in PLoS One, looks at the incidence of breastfeeding in a rural Dutch community in the 19th century, using isotope analysis of the bones of young children from a dairy farming community.  It finds that the incidence of breastfeeding was low.  Other similar communities had higher incidence and it is suggested that it is social factors that led to the low incidence in the community under investigation.  It is suggested that one factor is that the mothers were responsible for looking after the dairy cattle, so were wor...

What Has A.I. In Medicine Ever Done For Us? At Least 50 Things!
Remember Monty Python’s brilliant Life of Brian movie scene where the Judean Jewish insurgent commando, planning the abduction of Pilate’s wife in return for all the horrors they had to endure from the Roman Empire, asks the rhetorical question: what have the Romans ever done for us?

I have 50 responses to the pressing question on everyone’s mind who is interested in healthcare but tired of the hype or the doomsday scenarios around A.I....

Famous stars, like Queer Eye’s TanRead more …Treating formula as medicine may increase breastfeeding rates originally appeared inKevinMD.com. (Source: Kevin, M.D. - Medical Weblog)
