limiting refined and processed foods; reducing packaged foods to reduce refined sodium intake

pumping in addition to breastfeeding:

we want additional stimulation (pumping does not replace breastfeeding–from sucking/ emptying method and hormones realized)—work with the environment look at photos of the child if not around the when breastfeeding

A

pumping to increases supply is most effective when it is used in addition to regular breastfeeding to remove more milk according to the demand and supply principle of location. Hospital grade pumps are most effective at increasing production

low thyroid levels:

regulates the system(including temp)

unfortunately most of the main symptoms of hypothyroidism also coincide with common things that many new mothers experience anyways: fatigue, depression, inability to lose weight, dry skin, constipaion, hair loss, intolerance to cold temperature. Naturpathic support and xue test would be recommended here

22
Q

look to avoid choleric deficit

A

remind later during pregnancy when snacking 3-4xs a night to increased the time duration between snack so the body is required to go into the storing mode

23
Q

Decongestions/ antihistamines

these are designed to dry you up, and can lower you’re milk supply quite quickly

24
Q

excessive coffee or alcohol

A

contribute to dehydration

25
Q

pumping inserted of breastfeeding

A

puts are generally less effective than babies at emptying breast (lessening supply & demand) & hormones respond more strongly to a feeding baby

26
Q

menstruation, pregnancy, or BC

A

women can experience a decrease in their supply directly prior to menstruations (drastic increase in estrogen), many women also notice lower milk production when becoming pregnant, BC that contains estrogen has also been linked to lo milk supply …be mindful of the 6 week visit

27
Q

Contributing factors

A

chemo therapy
surrogate parents
infectious diseases
premature babies

28
Q

other factors

A

infant’s growth markers’ failing to thrive’
retiring to work shortly after delivery; unpaid parental leaves
pain, discomfort, lack of support while breastfeeding
personal choice

29
Q

different causes

A

causes of breastfeeding pain:
high milk production (strong milk-ejecting reflux)
yeast (candida overgrowth)
engorgement
muscle strain or injury during birthing experience
breast infection or clogged ducts (milk stagnation, nipple infection)

30
Q

When it isn’t advisable or an option:

from mircotares…on the nipple from suction, teething, latches, and those micro tares going into the infant.. Hypothetical cation involve with xue bore infections…not hypothetical for herpes

A

infectious disease- other carries HIV, human T-cell lymphotrophic Virus (HTLV), tuberculosis, herpes on the beast {if they don’t have an active outbreak or don’t, they can take some medication to decrease the sores from arising}

31
Q

metabolic conditions:

A

baby has galactosemia, phenylketonuria (PKU) unable to breakdown phenyl aline (can cause brain damage), maple syrup urine disease (MSUD)

32
Q

When breastfeeding isn’t an option

A

donor milk
homemade formula
formula companies

33
Q

donor milk

A

human milk 4 human babies
milk banks (Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver)
hopsital donor programs (NICU)

34

36
Q

store-bought formula consider:

A

ingredients
liquid vs powered
European formula (HiPP Organic)
supplements for a formula-fed baby

37
Q

Store bought

organic:

A

A)no GMOs(no sutiques have been done one infants–longest study has been on adults for 25 days…safety not guarantied)

B)free of unhealthy oil processed with toxic solvents
DHA& AA extracted with water instead of hexane (patrolling byproduct that is used to extracts fats and delicate fats- it is used a solvent-is a chemical extracts from petroleum and crude oil)

C) cows haven’t been treated with antibiotics or growth hormones

D) reduced exposure to pesticides, fungicides etc

38
Q

Lactose:

dissacratde breakdown of lactose and galactose

A

A) cows lactose most closely resembles human milk lactose
B) “all formula contains added sugars to mimic breast milk”
C) plant-based sweeteners often mimic the sweetness, most concerning being corn syrup–fructose baby systems

39
Q

soy based formula:

we are getting an isolated form which is hard for anyone to digest

A
  • due to high phytoestrogen content, specifically in isolated from, may disturb baby’s newly developing endocrine system
  • contains physic acid, inhibiting absorption of nutrients (eg Fe, Ca, Mg, Zn)
40
Q

Carrageenan:

or other thickeners
seaweed extract to keep everything silky smooth
liquid formulas are used at birth, sterile

A
  • added to some ready-to-feed formula, not added to powder formula
  • known gut irritant; leads to intestinal inflammation
  • EU has banned carrageenan in infant formula
  • takes away our gut barrier which allows larger particles to pass through and cause an immune response
41
Q

palm oil

A
  • added to mimic the palmitic acid in breast milk

- can be difficult to digest, especially for immature digestive systems

42
Q

synthetic nutrients & preservatives

A
  • harder to absorb/ benefit from; potentially contributing to micronutrients imbalances
  • preservatives add further stressors to baby’s detoxification systems
43
Q

european formula: HiPP organic

A
  • certified organic
  • galacto-oligosaccarides (GOS) -prebiotic

supports healthy digestions, supports immune function, encourages regular waste elimination, helps reduce the occurrence of eczema & allergies

(want to give this whenever Mom has antibiotics during birth, Group B, or C-section etc..)

45
Q

DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid)

nortic naturals

A

Omega- 3 fatty acid essential for the development of baby’s brain

46
Q

Vit D3

A
  • supports development of bones &teeth, immune support, reduces occurrences of respiratory infections
  • higher risk of developing specific cancers (colon, breast & lung) hypertension, diabetes type 1 &2, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, other autoimmune conditions) associated w fit D xu in adulthood
  • 400 IU/day for breastfed & formula-fed babies (American academy of paediatrics (AAP))
47
Q

iron

A

Fe in human milk is better absorbed than the iron in cow’s milk or iron-fortified formula & the quantity of iron in human milk is most appropriate vs. larger quantities in cow’s milk

  • too much iron leads to gut symbiosis; feeding ‘babd’ bacteria (they love undigested iron)
  • lactose & vit C in human milk also aids in absorption of iron
  • iron drop & fortified foods can cause digestive upset & may reduce the absorption of iron & other nutrients
48
