Beyond The Bump Education

One of the biggest things that we look at in our assessments is what babies body is doing and what tension it is holding. Feeding is a full body experience for babies, and if something is off, often times it can explain what’s going on with feeding!

Reach out today to book an assessment!

We are trained in more than just feeding at the breast! If there are any issues happening with your baby while they’re feeding, that is our specialty. We can help you navigate oral function issues, gas, colic, any type of issues that are going to affect your baby because of the way that they are eating. And then, if there’s tension issues, we’ve got you covered with craniosacral therapy as well!
We genuinely care so much about the way that you are experiencing the early days of parenthood. And if there’s ways for us to make you more comfy and for your baby to be more happy, that is our goal!

Constipation? Excess gas? Tension? tongue ties? I got chu 😍

Do you have a super gassy baby or one that is hard to burp? If these tips don’t do the trick for you, it’s probably time to book in for a feeding assessment or cranio!

Don’t underestimate a good manual pump!

What is your experience with them?

If you’re expecting or in the market for a pump - I highly recommend you check out my All About Pumping Guide.

It’ll help you learn the best pump to get based on YOUR goals without wasting hundreds - and how to use it properly!

It was also made for CANADIANS. Lots of info you see online about pumps is geared towards the US, which isn’t always helpful here!

A few drops of colostrum is completely normal!

Let’s learn how to do antenatal hand expression / colostrum harvesting

Check with your health care provider to ensure it is safe for you to begin harvesting colostrum around 37 weeks gestation.

(There are only a few exceptions as to why this wouldn’t be safe!)

- ��Start with messaging your breast. Remember, your breasts are delicate. Be GENTLE.
- �Push back (towards chest wall), compress and release. And repeat!
-Catch any drops with a syringe or into a clean cup.

I know secondhand pumps are temping but..

Single user breast pumps are meant to be just that - for one person.

One of the main reasons why is because they will lose suction.

Although it is harder to buy and sell second hand pumps on most social media platforms
- it’s probably not the best idea, anyway.

You can’t guarantee the quality.

You can’t guarantee how much it’s been used or how old it is.

And you also can’t guarantee that it hasn’t been contaminated inside.

If you are buying a second hand pump:

- �Consider investing in back flow valves
- �Know the person you are buying it from. Ask them where and how it was stored, and how old it is.
- �Replace all of the parts that go with it (tubing, membranes, bottles, flanges, etc
