Doula Porta L'hug Inwards Italia

Francesca Posenato condivide:

Ho scelto di seguire e formarmi come upward Teacher perché nel mio lavoro di doula, giorno dopo giorno, mi accorgo di quante fake credenze esistano circa i bisogni di un neonato e le sue capacità di manifestarli. 
Una delle più grandi difficoltà dei genitori di oggi sono legate proprio alla soddisfazione dei bisogni dei loro piccoli, a partire dal sonno fino advertizing arrivare al cibo. 

Poter offrire loro dei semplici strumenti di semplificazione, permette di vivere meglio la loro esperienza di genitorialità, con più leggerezza. Semplificare è la chiave per poter contenere gli stessi genitori.
Quello che mi attrae del programma è il fatto che not si vuole spendere come upward manuale di istruzioni per genitori, cosa che inward molti altri metodi vogliono fare e che reputo not realistico. Vuole offrire chiavi di lettura, strumenti che i genitori possano utilizzare per comprendere al meglio i segnali del proprio piccoli, partendo prima di tutto dall’osservazione attiva. 

Spesso i manuali di “istruzioni per l’uso” dei propri piccoli portano i genitori a not star inward ascolto, che reputo invece essere il più grande strumento da attivare.
mi permette di unire le basi della professionalità “doulesca” di ascolto, accoglienza ed empatia verso i genitori, dandomi le modalità di spiegazione di saperi che già mi appartenevano ma che era difficile rendere alla portata dei genitori.

Sicuramente le basi HUG saranno parte di un più ampio progetto di formazione che sto cercando di attivare per i volontari delle comunità di accoglienza per madri e bambino, perché credo tantissimo nel valore  di semplificazione che questo metodo trasmette e che può esser una grande rassicurazione anche per gli operatori sociali che si trovano advertizing accogliere i neonati e le loro mamme.

Touchpoints Together With A One-Month-Old

As I function into the room Keema, Katherine too Roberta's robust i calendar month old, is wiggling inward Katherine's lap.  As I walk closer to these mothers, Keema  turns toward mother's breast. Mom looks tired every bit she leans over, picks upward too undresses her fille for her depository fiscal establishment stand upward for up. 

Breastfeeding has gone wonderfully for the trio. As a total term baby, Keema crawled correct upward to Katherine's nipple inside 30 minutes of birth. Lots of fourth dimension spent peel to peel too frequent breastfeeding contributed an abundant milk supply.  She seemed predictable straightaway too was sleeping for at to the lowest degree iv hours at night. Mom was upward for alone 2 quick feeding during the night.

But straightaway life is different. 

Keema is wiggling too squiring later alone i hr of sleep. The infant nurses for for few minutes thence drifts off to slumber again. Her nap also seems to a greater extent than unpredictable. She goes down, wiggles too squirms too fussies until Katherine puts her to the breast. Keema is to a greater extent than gassy straightaway too her stools accept expire oddly green. Katherine too Roberta wonder if their infant is genuinely hungry too mightiness postulate to a greater extent than or less formula. "Maybe I don't accept plenty milk," Katherine say.

What an interesting instance of when a "Touchpoints" has been misunderstood too genuinely creates a breastfeeding problem. 

"Touchpoints" is a fourth dimension when a infant is having a developmental surge causing a modify inward her breastfeeding pattern. These times of modify are predictable. Breastfeeding mothers tin misunderstand this behavioral modify too laissez passer on formula or abandon breastfeeding. 

I took fourth dimension to exhibit these mothers The HUG video demonstrating the departure betwixt Active/Light too Still/ Deep Sleep. Katherine laughed correct away when she saw Active/Light Sleep. "That's just what she looks like!"

And inward the case, frequent "Snacking" yesteryear this i calendar month former was causing symptoms of "Lactose Overload": increased gassiness too dark-green stools. The status chop-chop resolves when Katherine follows this advice: 

  • Watch for Active/Light Sleep. Let the infant wiggle too squirm a few minutes too infant volition in all likelihood render to Still/Deep Sleep. 
  • Breastfeed fully from i thorax to larn the higher calorie (and lower lactose) at each feeding.
Within alone 3 days, Keema's stools are dorsum to yellowish too gassiness has resolved. Even to a greater extent than exciting, these moms accept watched their piffling i wiggle from Active/Light dorsum to Still/Deep Sleep. Mothers too infant are both sleeping better.

Postpartum Nurse Teaches The Hug Your Infant Programme To Newborn Parents

Ana L. Martinez, BSN, RN, CLC, is a postpartum Registered Nurse in addition to a Certified Lactation Counselor inward a infirmary inward Las Vegas, Nevada. She is incorporating the HUG Your Baby Program into her touchstone instruction at the infirmary non only because it is information that helps parents but too because parents demand to empathise their newborn in addition to breastfeed successfully. Here is i even out that shows how the HUG Your Baby Program helped a identify unit of measurement Ana served.

As a postpartum nurse, I encounter many babies swaddled neatly inward their cribs acre their woman nurture is lying inward a infirmary bed. When my shift started at 1900, I was told that this woman nurture wanted to breastfeed in addition to was supplementing later every feeding. When I had the chance to inquire why she was supplementing, she told me that the medical personnel told her to create in addition to hence only inward example her infant was non receiving plenty colostrum. In the meantime, her infant was swaddled alongside a pacifier. I explained that it is non recommended to purpose a pacifier until breastfeeding is established in addition to that it is recommended to implement peel to skin. Once her infant was calm in addition to peel to skin, I explained the dissimilar Zones (Resting, Alert, in addition to Rebooting) in addition to signs of overstimulation (SOS) to the baby’s parents. I too provided the HUG handouts.  

I explained that I saw a trunk SOS when she had jerky movements acre crying, when she was swaddled in addition to allow learn of the pacifier initially. I too explained that inward reply to her SOS, past times her woman nurture implementing peel to skin, the infant could calm downwardly in addition to transition from the Rebooting Zone to the Ready Zone to consume in addition to start out a successful breastfeeding session.

After 12 hours, her infant was only fed v mL of formula once. I did uncovering the infant alongside a pacifier at times in addition to reminded her woman nurture to create peel to peel acre awake in addition to to feed her often. At discharge, she was breastfeeding in addition to no to a greater extent than formula was documented!

When I encounter a infant discharged in addition to breastfeeding solely from that instant on, I experience a feel of joy to encounter a woman nurture who is to a greater extent than confident inward her mightiness to breastfeed. In a infirmary setting, it is easier to give a woman nurture formula the instant she start out asks for it instead of spending the fourth dimension to assist her past times showing what normal newborn conduct is in addition to instruction what that item woman nurture needs to create to endure successful at breastfeeding. By incorporating the HUG Your Baby Program into my teaching, I directly bring a novel agency to assist prepare parents close their newborn that straight helps mothers’ breastfeed successfully!
