CENTER GUYS 4@ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH ED WE APPRECIATE IT. SI4@X 21 NOW AND THERE ARE
MANY JOYOUS MOMENTS THAT COME
FROM MOTHERHOOD. FOR SOME WO4@M
THOUGH 4@THAT MAY OR MAY NOT 4@
INCLUDE BREASTFEEDING. REBECCA
SWEET SAT DOWN WITH SOME MOMS
TO TALK THROUGH THE CHALLENGES
AND SOLUTIONS GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING ABBY AND RUSSELL.
THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. I SAT 4@
DOWN WITH THREE MOMS WITH
CHILDREN RANGING FROM THE AGE
OF 18 MONTHS 4@TO FOUR YEARS OL
WHO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES.
AND A DOCTOR WHO ALSO HAD SOME
SOLUTIONS THAT MIGHT WORK FOR
YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 4@MANY OF U
HAVE HEARD 4@THE STATEMENT IS
BEST. BUT FOR SOME WOMEN
BREASTFEEDING ISN'T 4@ALWAYS TH
EASIEST THING FOR ME. MY MILK 4@
DIDN'T EVEN COME IN UNTIL FOUR
DAYS SO HE WAS STARVING AND
THEN WHEN IT DID COME IN HE
WANTED TO DO WHAT'S CALLED
CLUSTER FEEDING HE WANTED TO
FEED FOR 20 HOURS OF 24 4@HOURS
ONE DAY. COURTNEY KLIMAN SAID
ONE OF HER ISSUES WAS THAT SHE
HAD A SURPRISE C-SECTION WHICH
MADE DOING THINGS RIGHT AFTER
HAVING A BABY. A CHALLENGE. THE
TRAUMA BEHIND THAT AND YOUR
HORMONES AND ALL THE MEDICINE
ASSOCIATED WITH IT. AND YOU
KNOW THAT GENERAL ANESTHESIA
THAT YOU GET CAUSES YOUR BODY
NOT TO 4@PRODUCE LIKE YOU
NORMALLY WOULD. ANOTHER
CHALLENGE 4@HAVING MULTIPLES
WHICH WAS THE CASE FOR JULIE
4@ KENDRICK THE MOTHER OF TWINS
THERE WAS MAYBE 20 OR 30
MINUTES 4@IN BETWEEN HAYNES 4@N
TIME FOR SLEEPING AND THAT WAS
ONE OF THE BIGGEST 4@REASONS WH
JULIE TURNED TO FORMULA WHICH
SHE SAID SHE FELT NO SHAME
ABOUT IT WAS JUST A HUGE SIGH 4@
OF RELIEF. RACHEL BOLTON THE
MOTHER OF TWO SAID SHE WAS
SURPRISED AT HOW DIFFERENT BOTH
HER KIDS WERE AT BREASTFEEDING.
THE FIRST ONE WAS REALLY EASY.
BUT THE SECOND ONE WAS MUCH
HARDER. SHE HAD LATCH ISSUES
SHE MADE THIS 4@CRAZY NOISE I
MADE TOO MUCH MILK. I HAD THIS @
YOU KNOW TACKLE THAT BECAUSE
SHE WAS CHOKING ON4@ IT. ALTHOU
RACHEL SAID THAT SHE HAD A
GREAT SUPPORT SYSTEM AT HOME
SHE KNEW THAT SHE JUST NEEDED 4
LITTLE BIT MORE HELP. THEY YOU
KNOW ESSENTIALLY 4@SAID IT WAS
POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION AND THEY
HELPED ME OUT AND I MADE IT TO
A YEAR NURSING HER AND AFTER WE
STOPPED NURSING 4@I WAS FINE. I
SAT DOWN WITH LACTATION
CONSULTANT LISA PAUL TO ASK FOR
TIPS ON EASING THE STRESSES OF
BREASTFEEDING. SHE FOCUSED 4@ON
THREE MAIN AREAS RETURNING TO
WORK. SUPPORT FROM THE FAMILY
AND MELISSA 4@APPLY ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT I SUGGEST IS THAT
YOU EITHER DO HALF DAYS FOR
THAT FIRST WEEK OR YOU DO
THURSDAY FRIDAY AND THEN YOU
HAVE THE WEEKEND FOR WHATEVER
YOUR YOUR WORK WEEK LOOKS LIKE.
SO THAT WAY YOU GET A LITTLE
BIT OF A TRIAL AND THEN YOU GET
SOME TIME WITH BABY AGAIN. AS
FOR DAD SHE SAID NOT TO WORRY
SO MUCH ABOUT FEEDING 4@BUT
RATHER HAVING THEM HELP IN
OTHER AREAS LEARN HOW TO 4@PUT
BABY TO SLEEP THAT CAN BE SO
MUCH HELP. LIKE I JUST FED THE
BABY. HERE YOU TAKE BABY YOU
BURP AND YOU'D HELP 4@4@BABY FA
ASLEEP. AND IF MILK PRODUCTION
IS THE PROBLEM LISA SUGGESTS 4@
FREQUENCY. SOMETIMES MOMS WILL
THINK THAT THEY 4@4@DON'T HAVE
GOOD OR THAT THEIR MILK SUPPLY
IS GOING DOWN SO THEY'RE GOING
TO WAIT UNTIL THEIR FEEL
FULLER BEFORE THEY PUMP. BUT
WHAT THAT ACTUALLY TELLS THE
BODY IS TO MAKE LESS MILK. THE
MOST IMPORTANT TIP THAT LISA
HAD IS WE NEED TO BE A LOT MORE
GENTLE WITH EACH OTHER AND JUST
TRYING TO HELP GET THROUGH
THOSE SITUATION AND AFTER
TALKING TO ALL THREE OF THOSE
MOMS ALTHOUGH THEY SAID THAT
BREASTFEEDING WAS A CHALLENGE
AT TIMES THEY 4@WOULD GIVE IT
ANOTHER GO BUT BE EASIER ON
THEMSELVES IF THEY DO HAVE ANY
MORE KIDS. 4@AND IF YOU WANT TO
HEAR MORE TIPS FROM THESE MOMS
AND FROM OUR LACTATION 4@
CONSULTANT WE HAVE MUCH MORE ON
OUR DEBBIE BY ARRR APP. WE'LL
SEND 4@IT BACK TO YOU. THANK YO
REBECCA. WELL IF YOU'RE
CURRENTLY BREASTFEEDING AND YOU

YOU CAN 4@DONATE TO HELP OTHER
MOMS TENESSEE HAS 4@NINE MILK

KNOXVILLE. THE GOAL IS TO

MOMS? WE STRIVE FOR HEALTHY
BABIES 4@WHEN WE DON'T HAVE4@
HEALTHY BABIES. THEN 4@WE KNOW
THAT THE HUMAN PART IS 4@WHAT
HELPS THEM THRIVE NUTRITIONALLY
HUMAN MILK IS BEST FOR HUMAN
BABIES. RIGHT NOW THE DONATED
