In Australia there's also no prescribing from an Osteopath. Kirsten Hannah is not only an IBCLC but also an Osteopath supporting families in the AU with her immense knowledge...

Katie The Traveling Lactation Consultant ·

2024/12/10

For many parents, exclusive breastfeeding is difficult and supplementation must happen. Many do what is referred to as "triple feeding" to breastfeed, bottle feed and then pump.

Ep 82 Bottle Skills with Susan Howard

Katie The Traveling Lactation Consultant ·

2024/09/24

Bottles are actually not an innate skill. Babies are born knowing how to breastfeed, and with many reflexes to support the process. However bottle are not like the breast (no matter how much the packaging claims it's "just like the breast") and it is a skill that needs to be taught and learned, by both parents and babies. Unfortunately most hospitals and Pediatricians hand out a bottle without any thought into the design, flow rate, or teaching the skill. Susan Howard ...

Katie Oshita and Dr Rachel Kuperus discuss what skilled bodywork looks like for a newborn (**hint- it's not 5-10 min visits**) and how this helps with tongue tie, torticollis and feeding challenges. Supporting dyads through skilled bodywork and...
