This years theme is, ‘leave no one behind Sometimes parents are told it might be hard to breastfeed their newborn. With patience, the right adaptations & right support, breastfeeding, even beyond babyhood is completely possible & beneficial to all. & Listen up #doctors #nurses #midwives #healthvisitors How are you going to up your skills to help these extra awesome families? I remember a magic babywearing moment, where the mum, a dear friend, realised she had both hands free again! We added extra neck support (via a rolled up muslin) & then the hand that was often keeping her baby's head safe, was a free again. Low tone need not be a barrier to babywearing either. Finding skilled support is often key, to help you personalise the adaptations needed for your baby. I love this guest blog via @milkmeg, this mum shares her top 10 tips for breastfeeding. https://themilkmeg.com/breastfeeding-josee-ten-tips-for-breastfeeding-a-baby-with-down-syndrome/ babywearing https://wrapsodybaby.com/babywearing-and-down-syndrome/ . I've walked alongside similar families, enabling the to reach both babywearing & breastfeeding goals, well beyond babyhood. How can I help you?
