  • Nursing Strike
    Nursing Strike When a baby who has been nursing happily for some length of time suddenly refuses to latch and feed at the breast, we call it a nursing strike. It can be very upsetting for both a mother and her baby. Nursing strikes happen for many reasons, and we often do not know exactly why. Often it seems as though a baby is trying to communicate Community some form of stress. It is unlikely that your baby is ready to wean, especially if your Breastfeeding baby is less than a year old. Center A nursing strike can last several hours, or several days. While your baby is refusing to 5930 S. 58th Street feed at your breast, use a high-quality pump and remove milk just as often as your (in the Trade Center) Lincoln, NE 68516 baby was nursing.

  • Overcoming Difficulties (PDF)
    Breastfeeding Overcoming Difficulties ® Only a phone call away! See your local telephone directory Breastfeeding is a gift only you can give to your baby. A healthy full-term baby is likely to know instinctively what to do at the breast. For many mothers and babies breastfeeding goes well right from the start, for others it can take a little longer to learn. Common problems can be minimized or avoided entirely if a mother has accurate and consistent breastfeeding information and support. “Breastfeeding is a long term commitment. In order to succeed, a mother needs the encouragement and companionship of other mothers. La Leche League succeeded in the beginning and continues to work well because it meets the dual need for sound practical information and loving support. Babies don’t change and neither do mothers, though the circumstances in which they find themselves differ from one generation to the next.” Mary Ann Cahill, Founder LLL Sore Nipples Many mothers experience some nipple tenderness at the beginning of a feed during the first two to three days of breastfeeding, however, breastfeeding should not hurt. If you have continued discomfort or pain while breastfeeding or have discomfort or pain between breastfeeds, some adjustment or treatment may be needed. Research shows that good positioning of the baby at the breast will help prevent and heal sore nipples. Positioning Baby at the Breast There are a number of ways to hold your baby while breastfeeding. Getting your baby started at the breast smoothly and easily will soon become second nature to you. Nursing a baby at the breast is actually much less involved than any description of the process.
