🍏 Registration is OPEN for One-Day Childbirth P

💜 This week in lactation at Lifecycle 💜⁣
⁣
Friendly Reminder: Pumping should not feel painful! 😩 Just ONE lactation consultation with our amazing team of IBCLCs can go such a long way. 👇👇👇 Keep reading for some insights on why it’s oh so important to get fitted for your flange size. ⁣
⁣
💡 This pumper used a 24mm when pumping with their first babe, not knowing why it always hurt to pump. When their second baby was born, they discovered that the flange was much too large! A proper measurement showed them needing a 13 mm. Huge difference in sizing!!!⁣
⁣
💡 With the 24 mm flange, we can see that there is a lot of space around the nipples and when the nipple is pulled into the tunnel, we can see the areola. This flange is so large compared to the nipple that we are not seeing typical nipple movement within the flange tunnel. ⁣
⁣
💡 In the 13 mm flange, we can see that when the nipple is pulled into the flange tunnel, there is not excess space and the nipple moves freely. Now that’s a well fitted flange! ⁣
⁣
💜 A well fitting flange = decreased pumping time and increased output - music to our ears 🎶🥰. Call us at 610.525.6086 to book a lactation consultation or, if you’re just looking’ for some TLC, join our FREE lactation support group this Wednesday at 10am on Zoom! Email ngraham@lifecyclewomancare.org for login info.

Questions? Email our Programs Director, Nikki Graham: ngraham@lifecyclewomancare.org

👉Did you know August is National Breastfeeding

👉Did you know August is National Breastfeeding Month?! National Breastfeeding Month, as it’s widely recognized, is a wonderful opportunity to promote & support breast/chestfeeding efforts across the country. ⁣
⁣
⭐️To highlight breast/chestfeeding families in PA, @FirstFood.PAAP (a program of the PA Chapter of American Pediatrics) is seeking photos and stories about YOUR experience! ⁣
⁣
💜One of the most common reasons individuals don’t breast/chestfeed is because they lack support from their family or social circles. Here at LWC, we believe that sharing stories and struggles about breast/chestfeeding helps foster a community that supports parents on their own journey.⁣
⁣
🍼Whether you fed your baby human milk through breast/chestfeeding, exclusive pumping, hand expression, supplemented with formula, or accessed donor milk - and whether it be once, twice, or a thousand times - First Food would love to amplify your voice! ⁣
⁣
@FirstFood.PAAP is collecting submissions through the end of the week, until Friday July 29. Hit the link in bio to submit your story!

It’s Friday! Cheers to still figuring it out!
