21st Century Breastfeeding

Lactation is not something women normally think about unless they have to lactate.  It’s not featured in glossy magazines like Cosmo very often and it’s a sometimes headline when a women decides to breastfeed in a public place. Teaching a baby to suckle is as old as humanity itself—that’s why humans are considered mammals!  Now, breastfeeding has gotten a high tech revamp with mobile phones and devices.

Breastfeeding looks simple enough but many women struggle.  There’s also a myriad of considerations to factor in, such as timing of feedings and making sure new moms have the nutritional intake needed to sustain nursing.  The Apple app store has an array of apps that can support new mothers, including the Baby Nursing/Breastfeeding Activity Log by Sevenlogics.  Besides logging diaper changes, sleeping schedules, measurements, doctor visits and solid food intake, you can also quantify the baby’s nursing schedule and bottle feeding times.  Feel sluggish and tired out?  We accept that as a normal predicament of a new mom, but you may not be eating enough to sustain lactation.  The Breast Feeding Caloric Calculator will help you keep track of your calories to be sure you are eating enough to feed that little bundle of joy.  You’ll want a great Ipad or Iphone and T-Mobile has the devices to make you feel like a supermom.  With free shipping on all orders of $25 or more using our codes, you’ll want an Iphone for you and Ipad for the nursery.
