  1. wow. So I did get cut off in my um
  2. previous videos, so I'm going to continue on here.
  3. Um So I was talking about drugs and alcohol.
  4. Um I was talking about alcohol.
  5. Um and the general recommendations?
  6. Um we just went over some of the products that
  7. you made by two.
  8. see if there is any alcohol in your infants or
  9. your expressed milk, you're pumped milk, anything like that.
  10. So now we can move on to psychiatric meds.
  11. Um So unfortunately there are a lot of psychiatric medications
  12. that mothers can be on or cannot be on for
  13. that matter.
  14. I'm sorry um mentions that cross the placenta.
  15. Berrien can cause birth defects in babies are called terra
  16. genic. Um Often moms taking these medications well pregnant need
  17. to be released from them or are advised to not
  18. take them during the pregnancy.
  19. Yeah, some may resume after delivery of the baby and
  20. may choose to actually not breastfeed to be able to
  21. continue their medication.
  22. Um In my research, there was a lot of evidence
  23. that showed um that um resuming the psychiatric medication was
  24. um very important, just almost just as important as um
  25. feeding lactating your baby.
  26. Um We always want to help me mama with a
  27. healthy baby.
  28. So um that's it for drugs and alcohol.
  29. So now I'm going to talk about lactation and lactation
  30. ideals. So, um lactation ideals are obviously things that would
  31. be completely 100% idealistic, that is likely not um going
  32. to happen for everybody, not all of these things will
  33. happen. There are many lactation ideals.
  34. Um The lactation ideals that I okay.
  35. Mhm. That I um came across were that the baby
  36. will expressively breastfeed for the first six months exclusively.
  37. My bad um breastfeeding will continue until the infant reaches
  38. one year.
  39. Um So the caveat to that is that there are
  40. many, many individuals who choose to breastfeed their child infant
  41. toddler um For many years beyond the one year mark,
  42. there has been little research that shows that there is
  43. any nutrient value um be passed the one year mark.
  44. Um The um more the reason that moms choose to
  45. breastfeed past the one year mark is usually um for
  46. comfort for the bonding experience that you get from lactation
  47. that you get from breast feeding your child.
  48. Um So another lactation ideal is that the infant will
  49. maintain weight and grow accordingly to the standard infant growth
  50. chart. So the standard in front growth chart is something
  51. that is used in the pediatric offices or family practice
  52. offices in the United States.
  53. That's um this place is your child on a growth
  54. line um out of um Children of the same age,
  55. same height, same you know and places them in a
  56. category of percentage.
  57. Um Another lactation ideal is if the mom should need
  58. to return to work um she would number one be
  59. able to pump well at work or have the equipment
  60. in space.
  61. Um Number two, her supplement will her supplement her supply
  62. will not decrease because of the separation from the infant
  63. or the pumping schedule um while pumping the breast is
  64. not fully um depleted of milk the way it is
  65. when a baby nurses at the breast um Oftentimes um
  66. like I said before you would need to hand express,
  67. you would need to massage.
  68. Um Sometimes it may be helpful to put ice on
  69. your breasts.
  70. Um It may be helpful to get the oxytocin release
  71. and the that videos and pictures of the baby helps
  72. do that.
  73. And those are just some lactation ideals.
  74. So can I come out?
  75. I'm gonna, my references are vest there.
  76. Um There are many references.
  77. Two pictures mm.
  78. So the big takeaways that I got from um this
  79. project of researching and um discussing maternal nutrition and adaptation
  80. was that not everybody is the same.
  81. Um Every individual requires different, requires the same vitamins and
  82. nutrients in different amounts.
  83. So um one individual may require a higher caloric intake
  84. um than another.
  85. One individual may require a daily recommended value higher than
  86. another. Um And these are all things that you should
  87. discuss with your provider.
  88. Um If um you had further questions lactation consultants um
  89. is an entire specialty in nursing and thank you for
  90. watching
