Did you know that there are musculofascial benefits to the mechanics of breastfeeding? The physical activity of breastfeeding by a baby helps it develop his or her jaw, tongue and facial muscles. This complex coordination of muscles employs different muscles and movement than those required for bottle feeding. The act of breastfeeding requires physical effort by the baby. When breastfeeding, the baby uses muscles and moves his or her jaw differently than when bottle feeding. This difference encourages proper jaw and palate development, which also encourages correct airway passage growth thereby reducing airway problems such as snoring and sleep apnea later in life. If you are willing and able to breastfeed, you can add musculofascial and jaw development to your list of benefits offered by this beautiful act of mothering. If you want more information, please check out the links on the blog for some good resources. . . . . . ,. . . #breastfeed #breastfeedingawareness #breastfeeding #supportbreastfeeding #breastfeedingsupport #breadtfeedingbaby #normalizebreastfeeding #lactationsupport #breastfeedingmom #breastfed #breastfeedingawareness #momlife #momsofinstagram #momssupportingmoms #gentleparenting #attachmentparenting #fulltermbreastfeeding #extendedbreastfeeding #breastfeedingrights #breadtfeedingatoddler #breastfedtoddler #breastfeedingmama #familysupport
Has anyone told you that you *have* to start your child on cow's milk when they turn one? It's just not true! It's especially not true if you are still breastfeeding. The notion that a child needs milk from a different species over that of his or her own is ridiculous. Your child needs an easy liquid source of calories and nutrition. Cow's milk, though promoted otherwise, is a substitute. Breast milk remains the ideal option and provides the most bioavailable source of nutrition. After all, it is designed by humans for humans! If you are no longer breastfeeding or are transitioning away from breastfeeding, you can look into different options for providing your child with these liquid calories. Be sure to check the ingredients of any prepared products to avoid added sugar, oils, and thickeners. Do your own research and seek the advice of a knowledgeable professional. Bottom line - keep breastfeeding if you are able! It continues to provide your child with an excellent source of nutrition in conjunction with a balanced and varied diet of solid foods. #breastfeed #breastfeedingawareness #breastfeeding #supportbreastfeeding #breastfeedingsupport #breadtfeedingbaby #normalizebreastfeeding #lactationsupport #breastfeedingmom #breastfed #breastfeedingafterone #breastfeedingawareness #momlife #momsofinstagram #momssupportingmoms #gentleparenting #attachmentparenting #fulltermbreastfeeding #extendedbreastfeeding #breastfeedingrights #breadtfeedingatoddler #breastfedtoddler #breastfeedingmama #familysupport
It's always nice to see a mom breastfeeding her child when and where she wants. After all, breastfeeding in public is legal in every state. Sometimes having a quiet, clean space in which to retreat is equally welcome. Kudos to organizations that support both. . . . #breastfeedingmom #breastfed #breastfeed #breastfeedingawareness #breastfeedingsupport #breastfeedingrights #breadtfeedingatoddler #breastfeedingmama #breadtfeedingbaby #familysupport #gentleparenting #attachmentparenting
