Back to normal

admin — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 21:16:30 +0000

Many new moms feel they should be back to “normal” as soon as they bring the baby home . Unfortunately ,for most “normal” is a long time coming.

Very few newborns are capable of establishing routines. (the newborn time period being the 1st three months) This is due to the incredible amount of growth that occurs in those early weeks. 65% brain growth in the first three months. So its difficult if not impossible to force our adult will on them.

Remember their fussiness is not under their conscious control. It may feel like manipulation but its not . It’s just babies getting use to being a live.

So new parents sleep as much as and whenever you can!

Hello

admin — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 17:33:13 +0000

Hi, my name is Patricia McGuire and I’m an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant or IBCLC for short . I teach and work in NYC providing support for mom’s, families and babies on a variety of breastfeeding issues.

This blog is a collection of my reflections on matters affecting families in the baby’s first year. (and yes ,breastfeeding in particular) These are musings, except when noted, and shouldn’t be taken as medical advice . Always talk to your doctor.

My hope is that the information will be helpful or interesting. There’s variety of choices and options on how to raise child that are considered “healthy”. Each family is unique, and has to make choices that work for them,so, if what I say meshes with your family’s style and choices, great ,if not, that’s fine too. It’s all meant in goodwill.

I have been known to go off on a tangent every once in a while. So please any transgressions.
