February Networking

It's been a busy month at 4th Trimester Baby! We are now listed on several professional breastfeeding organization websites (USLCA, ILCA, NILCA, and BFChicago) and have been added onto lists at some hospitals. I had the pleasure of observing and connecting with professionals in related fields this month, so that 4th Trimester Baby can truly have a team approach in working with families! From Pediatric Dentists to Speech Language Pathologists to Chiropractors to many amazing Doulas, it's been an enlightening experience. Thank you to those of you who've welcomed me warmly and helped me to learn and grow! 4th Trimester Baby families will certainly benefit as well!

Cluster Feeding

Sometimes normal "cluster feeding" leads to concerns about low milk supply!

The Older Infant - Starting Solids

Let's talk about "Starting Solids"

Your baby has had everything she needs for so long, and all of a sudden it's time to start thinking about starting solids! What now? When should we start offering solids? What should we start with? How does continued breastfeeding fit in to all this? La Leche League remains a "solid" source of information. See below to get started!
