OUTLANDER x BEAUTY & THE BEAST

3000 years ago, she was a dragon.
This time around, Gabrielle’s an ordinary 19yo.

But old memories are surfacing.
She remembers her mate…her fearless lover.

He’s also returned.
And he’s not the one she’s marrying.

1 in 8 global prematurity rate

Low NICU breastfeeding rate

Daily, NICU moms are asking how to pump (and which one), how to increase supply, why to keep going, and does blue Gatorade work?

THE DOCTORS x MYTHBUSTERS, my guide offers comprehensive support. #PitMad #A #NF #DIS

@anaskewauthor I wanted to put together a focused guide for the why and how of NICU breastfeeding. I've spoken with hundreds of women and the support offered nationwide varies considerably. While there are parenting guides about being in the NICU, they offer only a few pages on breastfeeding.

Chauncey Williams was born at 25 weeks, 1 lb, 15 oz. With a 50% survival rate, breastmilk could save his life, according to numerous studies. 2x NICU mom, partnering with major companies and bloggers, this is the first NICU breastfeeding guide on the market. #PITMAD #A #NF #DIS

Days before the sale of their tribal burial ground, Lyda Conley & her sisters occupy a shack they built near their parent's graves. Lyda’s fight to save Huron Indian Cemetery would lead her to become the 1st Native woman to argue a case before the Supreme Court. #PitMad #MG #NF

DYK that #breastfeeding may influence a child’s risk of developing a lower respiratory tract infection LRTI? A study found that breastfeeding for =or> 6 months lowered the odds of developing LRTI by 29% when compared to children who were never breastfed. https://t.co/nSaBV3Oifv

@kateallenfox 3 boys. 6, 4, & 2. They are rough & tough, loving outdoors, bikes, playing in the dirt and sand, and fighting for attention. We have the unique dynamic of learning disabilities in the oldest, but social maturity, & sensory/behavioral disabilities in the 4 yr old, w/ a sharp mind

There is so much research out there specific to NICU babies and breastmilk. What would interest you the most as a NICU parent? #nicu #premature #breastfeeding #breastmilk @prolacta @grahamsfound @_breastfeeding @AdventHealth @BAbreastfeeder @Bf_USA @MarchofDimes

@kateallenfox With critical research showing breastmilk would reduce #NICU deaths, increasing the breastfeeding rate of NICU babies is the primary goal of my book. A 2x #NICU mom, I have partnered with experts and big industry companies to provide the best resource for parents. #PitMad #A #NF

[Not How Momma Did It @NotHowMomma]

@kateallenfox Thanks!!

[Not How Momma Did It @NotHowMomma]

@kateallenfox #NICU babies statistically have the lowest success rate for breastfeeding. With critical studies showing different results for NICU babies, my book serves as a triple threat resource to give NICU parents everything they need to breastfeed in one spot. #PitMad #A #NF #OWN #DIS

In Florida we see a lot of preterm delivery because of mothers traveling on vacation too late in their pregnancy. They can end up stranded in Florida with a NICU baby for months!! #thinkbeforeyoutravel #Disneyafterbaby #babymoonclosetohome https://t.co/8GLyw017CS

The rate of #pretermbirth in #florida rose to a 10.1%, higher than the national rate of 9.8%. #marchofdimes #MODadvocacy

I see so many moms struggling with getting their tiny babies to latch well. It may not be the most comfortable, but ask the NICU lactation consultant to show you a cross cradle hold. That is how my 25 and 27 weekers became EBF so fast. #YouCanDoIt #breastfeeding #feedallthebabies
