Latch On
This superb video was made by Ameda, who make breast pumps. Its wonderful to see a commercial company make the effort to hire excellent and well qualified people to produce a high quality marketing video that is informative and exhibiting Best Practice. Well Done Ameda We cant reccomend this video highly enough, but although Ameda make it available for file share on the site presumably they are happy with viral replication - it is a marketing tool after all we cant get it to load properly. We urge you to go to the site and see all of it www.ameda.com The site also contains excellent breastfeeding support advice. The pity of it being somewhat speeded up here, is you cant get a sense of the wonderful bobbing motion that the baby is doing, as it signals to the mother that it would like to breastfeed, as its getting hungry. This bobbing is an excellent cue to get baby onto Mums breast asap. Learning your babys feeding cues will save a lot of anxiety. Baby escalates up to starting to cry and get distressed as hunger kicks in its never felt hungry in the womb, so hunger is a new and powerful feeling for it. Powerful feelings are quite scary for small babies - they havent a clue whats going on. A good resource on feeding cues can be found here www.kellymom.com The latch info in the animation is so good, it doesnt need any comment from us. There are a whole list of latch links that complement this video on Firs...

Breast Crawl - Initiation of Breastfeeding
This video has been produced by UNICEF to save the lives of babies by making sure they have what they need to begin breastfeeding in the first few moments of life. And what they need is to be placed on their mother, naked skin to naked skin, and left to get on with it. Do make sure you stay with it until you see the latch happening at the end. All babies are born to breastfeed, and as you can see, come with the instincts and skills hardwired. Unfortunately, many modern birth practices disrupt this process and prevent it happening. Baby is taken from mother, washed, dressed, and handed around. Well meaning helpers try to push baby onto the breast, or force it to open its mouth before it is ready. Sometimes the baby is trying, and someone will push the back of the babys head up onto the breast - would you do what was wanted if someone treated you like that? Drugs from modern births pass into the babys bloodstream, and babies can come out sleepy and disorganised. Sometimes its a day or two before baby wakes up and by that time, damage has been done by pushing the baby and stressing out the mother. If your baby doesnt achieve this miracle in the first few moments of life, dont despair Youre not alone Many mothers have sleepy and uninterested babies and go on to a happy and successfull breastfeeding relationship. Protect your milk supply by stimulating your breasts and emptying them regularly, and keep baby naked skin t...

Is My Baby Getting Enough Milk? 1 of 4
Excellent Feeding. This is a sequence of four babies, running down the scale from Really Good Drinker 1/4 uk.youtube.com Quite Good Drinker 2/4 uk.youtube.com On and Off drinker 3/4 uk.youtube.com Nibbling, Not Drinking 4/4 uk.youtube.com How Much Milk Baby Is Getting is a fraught question for many mothers. Especially when well meaning family members, used to pouring vast amounts of formula down their own babys throats say... but how much milk is she getting? Many a new mother has panicked at that question, and reached for the bottle. If you are stressed and wondering, take a moment to run through the 4 babies here, and examine their breastfeeding technique. Do note that this is not a latch issue All these babies are latched well - but their skill levels on breastfeeding are different. Baby 1 is an excellent breastfeeder. Look at the jaw and cheek muscles go Huge amounts of milk are being extracted from this mothers breasts. Excellent muscle tone is being built by those jaw muscles, and the mouth is being filled with milk fast and furious. This baby will not need to feed for more than a few minutes, before falling off in a Milk Induced Coma There is an excellent match here between the babys internal mouth shape, and the mothers breast, and a lot of milk is being extracted quickly. In the second clip, a good swallowing motion active jaw and muscles is clearly shown by the baby, and nice pauses where milk is flowing i...

Breast Compressions
The breast is made up of soft tissue, with a fine line of milk ducts running over the tisue, and under the skin. They are producing milk constantly, and the act of pressing down gently on the breast, will make the milk flow faster while you press down. When you release, the flow drops back to normal. This is what your milk ducts look like, and where they are in the breast www.biochem.biomedchem.uwa.edu.au Breast compression, as Dr Jack Newman explains clearly here, can help when you have a struggling baby who is upset milk isnt coming out fast enough. Its a way of using the milk production system in the breast, to encourage faster flow just when you need it. www.kellymom.com Not every mother will need to use breast compressions, but it is a useful tool in the toolbox. It is important to squeeze down gently, in a massage motion, as opposed to a pinch. Restricting the milk ducts, with too tight a bra, or restrictive closing, or pinching them hard, can cause plugged ducts, which are painful, and can lead to mastitis, an infection. This is an excellent handout that explains breast compressions www.kellymom.com

Second Latch 2 of 3
Again, just like in First Latch this video is showing excellent practice in lactation support. Mother and baby are both comfortable, Dr Jack Newman is quiet and respectful of them both. No coercion is happening at all, and most importantly, no hands are on the back of babys head, trying to force matters. Notice that when the mother trails her nipple across the babys top lip, and the baby opens its mouth really wide in response, that the mother and Dr Jack move the baby forward ever so slightly from the supportive position of holding the babys shoulders and the base of the neck. Nothing is pushing this baby out of alignment, just the whole body moving forward a quarter inch so that gape now has a lot of breast in it. If you think about it, and put your own hand on the back of your head now and push... what happens? Your head moves down, your mouth closes and your throat is constricted. This is not gong to help you open your mouth really wide and swallow well. - Babys head actually needs to move back and up, not forward and down. The positioning of the baby presenting the baby to the breast and the calm and confident way the mother is holding and supporting the baby along her body and on the shoulders and base of the neck, is allowing this baby to gape without any stress. There are more links to this latch technique on the First Latch video in our library here on YouTube. www.youtube.com But do remember - what ...

Is My Baby Getting Enough Milk? 2 of 4
Quite Good Feeding. In the second clip, a good swallowing motion active jaw and muscles is clearly shown by the baby, and nice pauses where milk is flowing into the mouth. This baby is getting a great deal of milk from the mother. Its not quite the express pump of baby 1, but baby 2 is clearly getting a lot of milk This is the second in a sequence of understanding how to spot your baby is getting enough milk out of your breast. The written info starts on Number 1 on uk.youtube.com But it has been split up to fit So it now continues here - I Know My Baby Is Getting Enough But Hes Latched On For Hours Babies need to breastfeed for more than just food. The act of breastfeeding, which theyve practised in the womb by swallowing amiotic fluid, comforts and sustains a breastfeeding baby. It is a primal urge, that fills them with a sense of well being and security. Babies come out of the womb as individuals. Some will have very high sucking needs - they need to be on the breast, comfort sucking, for long periods of time. Deprived of this, they can become fussy and anxious and cry a lot. They often crave lots of skin to skin with the mother, and wearing them in a sling or wrap can help calm them. Others come out with low comfort sucking needs, and will only attach to the breast for as long as it takes for them to fill up. Both these scenarios are perfectly normal. Your baby will have its own sense of how much time it needs...

Third Latch 3 of 3
A really short clip that shows very clearly the babys jaw going up and down, and shows the pause as the babys mouth fills with milk. So many mothers, their confidence eroded by others well meaning and not so well meaning comments, become paranoid that Baby Isnt Getting Enough Milk You wonder how we made it out of the caves, huh? Proper hydration is vital for the baby, especially in the first few days, whilst you wait for the transmission of your milk from gold milk colostrum to white milk. Production is low in the first few days, in order not to flood baby out, and let baby build in both confidence and skill. Constant licking and stimulating of the nipples as it laps up gold milk, will keep baby well hydrated, even if its not latching on yet. It will also build your milk supply wonderfully However, as we mention in Breast Crawl uk.youtube.com modern birth practices mean that some babies come out sleepy and disinterested for the first couple of days. Its vital that these babies get gold milk from the mother dribbled into their mouths often. If the mother is traumatised from the birth such as an unwanted caesarian section, a too long labour or a too quick labour then her milk may be difficult to express and sometimes stress levels can be so high, the mothers stress prevents letdown - thus convincing her she has no milk. In these circumstances, donated human milk should be given to the baby. If there is no d...

Is My Baby Getting Enough Milk? 4 of 4
Nibbling, Not Drinking. Baby 4 is not getting that much milk, as hes only nibbling on the breast. There is some transfer at the end, when you see the jaw move and then the pause as the mouth fills up with milk. Baby 4 may spend a long time at the breast to fill up. There may also be fussing and arching of the back, as baby gets fed up with not much milk. This is the fourth in a sequence of four, showing how the different skill levels in breastfeeding babies can affect milk transfer. The full sequence starts on 1 of 4, and can be found on uk.youtube.com and there is a lot of written information in the About This Video section. The written info continues on 2 of 4 on uk.youtube.com This info covers such things as checking how to know if baby has enough milk, what to do if you have a fussy baby, and what growth spurts are.

First Latch 1 of 3
This is an excellent video, by the wonderful Dr Jack Newman, showing a classic cross-cradle hold, and a baby latching well. Notice how gentle and respectful of the baby Dr Newman, and the mother, are. Only two interventions happen - one to pull the babys hand gently out of the camera view - so you can see whats happening, and one very gentle encouraging finger to the chin after latch has happened. No one is telling this baby she doesnt know what to do - No one is traffic wardening the mother, and making her lose confidence. This is good stuff, and if it doesnt match your own support experience, find better support There a variety of volunteer organisations who will give you this sort of support - do use them - www.llli.org www.breastfeeding.asn.au www.breastfeedingnetwork.org.uk This baby is small and quite young. Notice how easily the mother is supporting the babys shoulders and neck, and managing to keep the length of the babys body snug and secure across her body. This can be an excellent hold for new mothers, but all thats important is that you and baby are comfortable, and the breastfeeding is working well. As baby gets older, and heavier, Mum and Baby will find different holds that keep them both feeling supported and happy. The important part of this video is whats happening at the mouth/nipple exchange. You hear Dr Newman say to wait for the gape and then you let baby attach. The point is that quit...

Breastfeeding Toddlers
Babies breastfeed, and if they are very lucky, in the West, they are allowed to follow their biological norm and breastfeed into toddlerhood. There is no natural time to fully wean an infant, and thus refuse it your breast. All infants give up breastfeeding themselves, when they have...
