Insights into the missing pieces

Latching

...Is about connection on a

physical and emotional side

Bringing your baby onto your breast is a series of little steps. Some of these are often rushed or brushed over and this makes latching trickier than it needs to be.

Getting the essentials right will set you up for a totally different level of comfort, ease and effectiveness.

By going slower and being mindful of the starting steps, latching will be easier.

Nipp pain

... Is about a combination of

connection and movement

Sequences of tiny tongue and muscle movements in contact with your nipple, add up throughout each feed, of each day and of each week.

If there is a slight imbalance, your nipp becomes tender and the pain escalates until you are in balance.

Finding your balance is a subtle skill that can't be found by presriptive measures. It is a felt experience that you learn to work with.

As only you can feel what you feel, your confidence lies in understanding, recognising and responding to that felt sensation in order to heal your nips.

Blockages & Mastitis

... Is about connection, movement and contact

Milk producing breast tissue is arranged around the nipple, like segments of an orange.

Each segment needs to be drained effectively and in order to do that that, your baby needs to be in contact with that part of the breast.

How your baby is positioned influences how much contact your baby makes with your breast. The key element here is YOUR baby and YOUR breast.

Oversupply or Low Milk Supply

... Is about connection, movement, contact and frequency ++

An imbalance of milk production, whether too much or too little, is stressful and creates room for more challenges.

It feels very emotional. You either feel like you are 'flooding' your baby or 'starving' your baby. These are big emotions and perceptions.

Finding ways to moderate flow or reduce your baby's effort to access milk, are two practical skills most mums need at some point and both use the same steps to find resolution.
