Having a caesarean section, more commonly known to as a C-section, is one of the most common operations nationwide, but is also a major abdominal surgery.

Here's why doctors want to reduce the number of procedures: https://www.wpri.com/health/doctors-hope-to-cut-back-on-unnecessary-c-sections/

This!!

A Cesarean can be life-saving. It can also carry significant risks when it isn't medically necessary.

Researchers estimate that almost half of the Cesareans performed could be safely prevented.

That's what can happen when factors like time, staffing, convenience, liability, or routine begin influencing care instead of medical necessity.

Health care in the United States is increasingly team-based, and doulas—who often provide emotional, physical, and educational support for patients during birth, the postpartum period, and beyond—are valuable members of many care teams.

ACOG’s new clinical guidance encourages ob-gyn collaboration with doulas and gives ob-gyns the tools they need to better understand a doula’s role. It also highlights the importance of stronger partnerships between clinicians and doulas, which can provide vital support across the lifespan—including during and after pregnancy—and can lead to better patient outcomes.

One of the biggest concerns I hear from breastfeeding parents is:

“My baby is attached to me all evening after daycare/being away… Are they still hungry? Am I not making enough milk?”

In most cases, this is completely normal.

Many breastfed babies nurse more after spending the day away from their mother. It doesn’t automatically mean your milk supply has dropped or that your milk is no longer satisfying them. They’re often doing exactly what they’re designed to do.

Breastfeeding is about much more than calories.

After hours apart, your baby isn’t just looking for milk. They’re looking for you.

Your heartbeat.
Your scent.
Your warmth.
Your voice.
Your comfort.
Your regulation.

For babies, breastfeeding is one of the fastest ways to reconnect after separation.

This pattern is sometimes called reverse cycling. Some babies take less milk while they’re away, whether that’s because they’re distracted, don’t enjoy bottles as much, or simply prefer nursing directly at the breast. Then, once they’re reunited with their parent, they nurse more frequently during the evening and overnight to make up for it.

That extra nursing also sends your body an important message: “Keep making milk.”

Frequent milk removal is one of the biggest drivers of maintaining supply. Those evening feeds help protect your milk production while also meeting your baby’s nutritional and emotional needs.

If your baby is:
🤍 Growing well
🤍 Having enough wet and dirty diapers
🤍 Nursing effectively
🤍 Meeting developmental milestones

Then those marathon evening nursing sessions are often just a normal part of breastfeeding after separation.

It’s easy to look at a baby who wants to nurse all evening and assume something is wrong.

Sometimes, nothing is wrong at all.

Sometimes your baby simply missed their favorite place to eat, their favorite place to regulate, and their favorite person.

And after being apart all day, they’re catching up on all three. 🤍
