LACTATION AFTER LOSS— How to Stop the Milk & My Personal experience….

Losing a baby is one of the hardest thing that someone can go through..... I experienced this myself in 2019, when my son Benedict was stillborn at 20 weeks gestation. In this video I will use my training as a board certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) and a mom who has gone through loss to explain some of the emotional components, as well as the general information on suppressing lactation. Your breasts will need to go through a process to realize that you are no longer breastfeeding. These tips may help avoid engorgement and plugged ducts & mastitis. I will also touch on pumping and donating milk, keepsakes, emotional support and resources. ⭐️ Beautiful Breastmilk Jewelry: www.honoringmotherhood.com ✔️Websites mentioned: Nationalshare.org Hmbana.org ➡️ 🩺 PROVIDERS: to inquire about purchasing my brochures for your practice, email: ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ [email protected] This topic is for late miscarriage, stillbirth, unexpected death of an infant, fetal demise, premature infant loss, NICU loss, SIDS, post abortion, or any other death of an infant or toddler & the lactation cycle that happens after the baby has died.
