Lactation crisis

The lactation crisis can affect us at every stage of breastfeeding. Did you know that according to the data of the Central Statistical Office of Poland in 99,4% of women after breastfeeding start breastfeeding, but after 6 weeks only half feeds?

 

That is why every single day of breastfeeding is our great victory. Most of us finally give up in the fight for feeding, mainly because we do not have access to the right knowledge, support, help or just a warm word, and even have to fight with loved ones who are young, insecure in a new role moms say that she has “weak milk”, that “the baby is hungry” and “treats you like a pacifier” (by the way, it is worth answering the question which came first: breast or a pacifier?).

 

I have always heard about the lactation crisis as the beginning of the milky way and was prepared for it. However, the lack of food after a few weeks of feeding completely surprised me.

Layette to the hospital

The layette for the mother’s hospital was the most difficult stage for me in preparing for the birth of my Child. I was terribly afraid that I would forget the most important things, I did not know what to prepare for, what I would find in the hospital, and I did not want to be dependent on anyone and make requests that I was missing something again. I also did not know which products are worth choosing – it was the first time I gave birth! There are already 3 such stays in the hospital behind me, through which I managed to refine this “Layette to the hospital for Mom” ​​list almost to perfection.

How to organize a breastfeeding corner?

When I was pregnant, breastfeeding seemed abstract to me, to say the least… I couldn’t imagine it or wanted it to. However, I knew what a salutary influence it can have on the Child, so I decided to learn as much as possible about it and how to best prepare and organize for it. Immediately after the wonderful workshop “Just a midwife” with Agnieszka Maciąg, who talked so beautifully about childbirth and breastfeeding, I knew that I would do everything to make breastfeeding successful, so I started organizing a nursing corner.
