Unfortunately, if one of these companies has problems, it can lead to massive disruption in production ..read more

How Can I Get This Baby Weight Off Safely? Safe weight loss is healthy and realistic for breastfeeding women. Breastfeeding uses calories stored up during pregnancy, and a breastfeeding mother will lose 1-2 pounds a month with a normal, healthy diet (eating to hunger) and normal activity. If you want to lose weight faster, you can safely lose 1 pound a week through changes in diet and moderate exercise. A weight loss of 1 pound a week with a healthy diet (at least 1500 to 1800 high quality calories) and moderate exercise has no effect on the fat content of the breast milk or on the ba ..read more

Can I nurse with a pierced nipple? Nursing mommas ask lactation consultants all kinds of things. Other faqs include: Can I drink coffee? and How does a pump work? ​But by far, the most common question we get is: Am I making enough milk for my baby? ​Here are 5 signs your baby’s GOT (enough breast) MILK: 1.
