Breastfeeding Seminar

Both Anderson and I attended a private Breastfeeding Seminar on 15Nov organized by TeenyTinyTapir at Ampang (www.tinytapir.com). The talk is given by Gina Yong, a qualified breastfeeding consultant.

Gina Yong, the breastfeeding / lactation consultant was trained in the USA and she gives a great informational talk which is so useful. I find that I have learnt quite a bit in all sorts of things, not just breastfeeding through her seminar. She even visits to hospital if we require her too (in KlangValley only) and charges RM100 per visit, or was it per hour (?)... hehe.

Basically this is what both of us learn from her yesterday.
  • Why Breastfed is Best fed
  • How to Get Started the Right Way
  • How Milk Gets from Breast to Baby
  • Correct Positioning and Holding of baby
  • Correct Latch-On (it should not be painful!)
  • Avoid Breastfeeding Common Problems – Engorgement, Sore Nipples etc
  • How to Increase Your Milk Supply
  • How to know if your baby is getting enough milk
  • Daddy and the breastfed Baby
