Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

My girl turned 10 last weekend, so we celebrated by going tree top trekking today. Things I learned? This child is incredibly intelligent and very good at thinking on her feet. She got scared but figured her way out and around any challenge put in front of her. Also? I’m incredibly out of shape and cargo nets are really hard! Finally? There is no shame in being rescued!

Keeping my distance, but still offering support. Reach out for help if necessary - babies still need to eat and your breastmilk will help protect them.

No one needs to do this alone. It’s hard- but if it’s to hard, ask for help.

Check out my new sweatshirt! #ibclccertifiedlactationconsultant #ibclc #jandyknows

The longer women breastfeed the more they hear comments suggesting that breastfeeding is depleting their nutrients and contributes to their fatigue. The opposit...e is true. Continuing breastfeeding is good for female health. Here is one recent example from a study done by Dr. Ramos-Roman (published in Diabetes in August 2020) which discusses ways in which breastfeeding plays a role in protecting women from Type 2 diabetes even many years after they have stopped breastfeeding. Breastfeeding changes the insulin sensitivity of organs that supply or demand sugars and fat in the breastfeeding women's bodies. This protects women against insulin resistance not only at the time when they are breastfeeding but long after they have stopped. This study suggests that it is prolactin - the hormone that is involved in breastmilk production - that causes breastfeeding women to have lower levels of fatty acids in their blood and lower amounts of fat in their livers.
