Now working again after a quiet period
Working with a Dutch/Surinaams family
Mother was left alone to breastfeed in hospital with no instruction about how to latch on
The result being incorrect latch, ( baby sucking only on the nipple), and broken nipples
Now busy teaching correct latch on and waiting for nipples to heal
Expressing milk to increase production and temporary use of nipple shields help
Milk is coming!

big feeder!
Have just finished a week working with a Jordanian family in Den Haag
From losing weight to reaching almost 4 kilos by the end of the week the baby was a good feeder and gained lots of weight
Poor mum had to have a Catheter in for a week to give her bladder a rest but managed really well
I got to hear some Arabic and experience some
middle- eastern food Thursday was the Breastfeeding Symposium in Almere
Very interesting talk from Paediatrician regarding the unnecessary taking of blood sugar levels soon after the birth of the baby and the even more unnecessary giving of formula to correct it
More next time, have a good week!
