Rainbow Road Lactation

The stage where an older baby/nurseling will happily pull your shirt up and down, and latch in any which way that serves them. However it is also important that you feel comfortable in your body too!

If it is too much for you, it is okay to put boundaries in place for how you want to breastfeed your baby.
It’s important you feel comfortable, supported and stable.

It’s ok to redirect - choose a Boundary phrase and offer an alternative e.g. “We don’t do boo-boo this way, but we can sit on the chair and have it there”

It is also helpful for your baby’s chin to be nice and close to the breast, with head slightly tilted back so there is space between their chin and chest. This helps to get a wider latch, tongue coming forward over the lower gums/teeth, minimizing the chances of an accidental bite.

And if it doesn’t bother you, continue boobing on. But always remember - it’s ok to set boundaries. Sometimes well placed boundaries help families feel more confident to continue their breastfeeding relationship for longer than anticipated 💜

💜Wearable (Hands-Free/Wireless) pumps can be expensive, some more so than Traditional breast pumps (those that are connected to a larger motor and can be plugged into the wall).

💜There is no clear definition as to what makes a pump “hospital grade”, so unfortunately manufacturers can use this in their marketing without it speaking to the effectiveness of that pump.

💜Unfortunately for many women, the smaller motor of a wearable pump means less suction, and a high potential for not removing milk as effectively. This can be a problem for families who are exclusively pumping or having issues with low milk supply, if they are using a wearable as a primary pump. Over time, decreased milk removal leads to a lower overall milk supply.

💜Another concern is fl**ge sizing, with many wearables needing a silicone insert to reach a suitable size. Silicone inserts are often not as effective as harder fl**ges at creating a vacuum and stimulating breast tissue (this I have learnt with thanks to ).

💜It can also be difficult to see if the pump has been placed in the correct position, so there may be a period of trial and error.

💜Different women will respond to different pumps in different ways. Hiring a breast pump before purchasing, may be a more affordable option when learning what breast pump may suit your needs.

💜In general - wearable pumps are more suited for occasional use, or complementary to a traditional pump for exclusively pumping families or individuals needing to increase their milk supply.

💜Of course individual variations will apply, as I have seen some women exclusively express with a wearable pump. These women had very generous milk supplies, which is important to note.

Incredibly disappointed that instead of responding to my comment (which I screenshot just in case this happened), I was blocked. Unless Tizzie has shut down her Instagram, but it is highly unlikely.
I am not here for drama, but I’m 100% here for the safety of babies and families.

The sleep training industry in Australia is unregulated. of the BBC just did an investigation on the sleep training industry in the UK. Have a look if you haven’t yet.

In the meantime, here are Aussie sleep support providers who practice safe sleep and take into consideration the science of being a baby and nurturing parental relationships:
