Lactation in academia for those who don’t know…
1. Most women who are exclusively breastfeeding need to pump every 3-4hrs
2. If we miss a pump session or delay it, we get engorgement. Basically the milk backs up into the breast and we can start leaking it’s quite painful.
We created a donation site in honor of Ceci. Funds will support research at Children’s Medical Center Dallas, where Ceci received outstanding care. Please RT & share. @childrens@UTSWNews (5/5)

@JenaFriedman Painful latch means help is needed from a well trained ibclc, preferably a bf medicine doctor! Try to find one in your area on the academy of breast medicine website! It definitely can get better with help, but give yourself grace!
