Baby number two!
This baby comes up at support group a lot because of how hard it was for me and also because of where that difficulty lead me.
I am so proud looking back, but also so sad for that young mom who was so hard on herself. What I was lacking was resources. Our pediatrician just kept telling me he would grow out of it, but I was really struggling! That was not at all helpful. They, of course, didn't have the resources either!
He is why we say, "crying babies and crying moms are expected"
He is why we say, "we run on baby time here, you aren't late unless you missed us."
He is why colic is my favorite reason people come to see me.
It's pretty cool to become the resource for moms that I never had.
Did you go to support group? What did you think?
Just because feeding is going great, does not mean everything is perfect.
We are looking at the full picture and I think that includes addressing anything that can impact overall well being. I am so grateful for those hard days.
It has made me a better support to the parents I work with daily.
Baby number 4! This one was a big surprise. I never thought I would have a baby self wean at 11 months old. I was heartbroken.
Everyone told me it was a "nursing strike". It was not! He never nursed again.
He still loves me though. Lol
After this, I learned all I could about sleep training, night weaning and how you might encourage more sleep without sabotaging breastfeeding. It's one of my favorite consults to do.
So tell me, how did weaning go? How do you feel about it now?
Blows my mind, but thats ok! We will take them! Colic and fussiness ARE reasons to be seen! You are not imagining it and you deserve to have someone help you trouble shoot so both you AND baby are happier.
Even getting to a single appointment with a newborn can feel overwhelming!
So let us help you make it as painless as possible.
1. We are in network with most private insurance.
2. You have a full team of the very best professionals to care for you and your baby.
3. You get a custom approach to YOUR case, YOUR needs, YOUR baby! No one size fits all nonsense here. And we make a point to not overwhelm you!
4. WE. ALL. TALK. TO. EACH. OTHER! This seems so obvious, but the truth is, it's not all that common. You want a team that works as a team. You want a collaborative approach. We can even do joint visits! This means less explaining your situation over and over and more actually making progress.
Use the link in profile to book your visit. Even if your baby has not yet arrived. Imagine assembling your team BEFORE baby arrives. Smart right?
We are the only lactation support in the state with a full feeding team and a shared care model. We also work with several other preferred providers in the area like DOs, Chiros, SLPs and OTs as needed.
Plus we are a ton of fun! π€£

I have been there! TWO of my babies were bottle refusers and it sucked!
You need an evaluation with an expert who can offer specific strategies to you! Not a dumb bottle that makes zero sense to anyone who works with babies.
Book your bottle refusal apt at Maine Mother.com
