I just gave birth to my son 3 days ago (my second baby) and I just wanna thank and celebrate with you that I got to have the natural birth I was praying for! It was such a positive experience and I definitely used a lot of the info I've learned from you to help myself stay positive, in control, and progressing! Thank you and Praise God!
Love this! All my babies were/will be exclusively breastfed. I nursed my first for a year, my second for 16 months, and I'm now 32 weeks pregnant with my third, my first baby boy. I'll nurse him into toddlerhood as well. Couldn't imagine feeding my babies any other way! Fed is best but breast is healthiest, the most nourishing, and so much more beneficial for both mama and baby.
So refreshing to hear a video full of truth on this subject. It’s such a controversial topic, but it really shouldn’t be. I had to stop nursing my 2nd child at 7 months because of low supply/work. I never fought the fight of “fed is best” because it’s not. “Fed” is the bare minimum. Breast milk is amazing!
Currently 5 weeks PP and on a tough breastfeeding journey. This video provided me with some much needed inspiration and encouragement!! Thanks for the great content, from one Bridget to another 😉
@@kimcaliliw8250 So glad to hear it's getting easier for you mama! That's inspiring! I hope I can say the same when I'm 8 weeks PP 🤞 Thanks for your well wishes! ❤
Sending you love and prayers! It’s NOT easy but so worth the investment in every way. And you know what, if it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out! I always say breastfeeding with my little one was really really hard until it just wasn’t! However that happened? Ha. Practice makes better and spending the time to troubleshoot and see consultants is really worth all of the work 🤍
three of my children had to go to the hospital during their first 2 months of life due to flu or bronchiolitis. In the ward they were the only ones while we were there that were completely breastfed on demand. They were also the most mild in their illnesses and the only ones not needing tube feeding. Not a coincidence IMO
Not only for babys and newborns is breastmilk beneficial but for toddlers too! I nursed my first 2 years and my second is 15 months and still nursing many times a day. Both my kids are really healthy.
This is so interesting! Literally feeding my 3 month old as I watched this video lol. Sometimes it can be a challenge for sure but clinging to the nutritional benefits for my little one has really kept us going! Prayer request for tomorrow since my little guy is getting his tongue tie revised and we’re a tad nervous! (Yes! We’ve made it this far breastfeeding with a tongue tie praise the Lord!)
3 weeks and 2 days PP here and i just watched this with my husband and it was so educating and entertaining. I also followed your videos during pregnancy and delivery. Thank you for everything Bridget ❤
Really loved this video and the information you provided and shared. I have been struggling the past couple days with breast feeding but this encourages me to continue and push through for my baby girl. Thank you
These are amazing facts; i nursed my daughter to 6 months, she self weened so i had to give her formula. And sadly she is very prone to ear infections so i guess i didnt get the benefit for her.
Hey Bridget! I've been watching your videos since 2020 and just want to thank you so much for all of the amazing information you continue to share about pregnancy and even after pregnancy has ended. Your breathing techniques helped me get through delivering my first and second child and I am so grateful! Thank you for all you continue to do for us mamas, and may God bless you and your family. ❤
Thank you for sharing I breast feed my first child shes 4 months old now 💓 When she was born she got conjunctivitis so I put it in her eyes and wow they healed in a couple of days, Amazzing 🌟 Wow I was wondering why my Areola went dark while pregnant. Thanks so much for all the info lovely lots of love xox
Im watching this as I am nursing my 3 week old baby boy. I have been blessed to be able to nurse my baby, it was very difficult with my first boy that I had to supplement with formula. I hope I can continue to exclusively breast feed my baby for one year at least. I am so scared my production will drop :( I’m paranoid almost. This video is awesome thank you !!
I breastfed my first daughter for 21 months and she's now almost 2 1/2. She is super picky and won't eat any meat or veggies. I hope my second daughter will become a foodie.
Aside from giving the baby a robust immune system, a healthy mind the other striking features I have noticed in those who were breastfed is good looks. A round face, a small concave nose, straight teeth and wide eyes are the most common in babies who were fed on mommy's elixir. So if you want your son to look like the angelic Paul Dano and your daughter to look like the cute Eliza Scanlen nurse away. They will thank you for it!!!
I breast fed my oldest son for 23 months. He had never been sick. As soon as I stopped nursing him he caught a nasty stomach bug, followed by a sinus infection that led to a double ear infection... I felt absolutely horrible. But I was so pregnant with baby number two I could no longer nurse the other one. I now have a 4 day old baby who is nursing and doing great but my oldest who is now 2 years and 2 months old it jealous.
Thank you so much. This is so inspiring.my baby will be 6months on friday 11th of oct. He is on exclusive breastfeeding. In shaa Allah he will start his solids then. Thank you mama for the knowledge😍😍😍😍😍
I’ve had a breast augmentation about 10 years ago and now that I am pregnant I am scared that I won’t be able to breast feed or produce as much. What is your experience with breast feeding after breast augmentation? And any tips? Thanks
I’m a ftm exclusively breastfeeding & yesterday I was told I should be breastfeeding around the clock as well as giving baby formula every 3 hours. That sounds excessive to me personally. Has any else hear this too?
I’m 33 weeks pregnant. I noticed yesterday my nipples were wet. I gave them a squeeze and more came out. Curious! Is this normal? I would assume so! Is this colostrum? Is this ok to “lactate” (if I am?) so early? Thanks!
Love these great tips! Breast milk definitely indices sleep for babies! It helps explain why babies love to fall asleep when being fed. Thanks so much for the great video! ❤️
I am 3 weeks PP, at two weeks PP I had a very scary medical experience. Over the course of four days I I was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism, started blood thinners, was diagnosed with gallstones that cause acute pancreatitis, and I had to have my gallbladder removed. I have been pumping and dumping since the 17th when I was admitted to the hospital because I am taking narcotics for the constant pain I am in. I’m trying to not take them so I can go back to breastfeeding as soon as I can but I am in a lot of pain still from my pancreas and my surgery. My milk production has slowed down to almost nothing, I am pumping every time my baby eats plus between feedings as well hoping that the extra stimulation with help me keep up my milk production but it doesn’t seem to be working. I’m kind of having an emotional break down about not being able to nurse my baby. This is my third and last baby, and my whole pregnancy was a struggle. I was looking forward to after and being able to do all of the new mom things I loved doing with my first two babies post pregnancy, and I feel like these things are being taken away from me, including how I wanted to feed my baby. I know that a fed baby is a happy baby, and I’m so thankful that she hasn’t starved to death while I have been unable to nurse her, but I can’t help feeling the way I do.
Love this video🤗! Especially how you listed the benefits for breastfeeding moms in addition to babies🙏🏿! It’s simply the best❤️! Thanks for sharing momma👍🏿!
Very interesting that milk can be different based on gender of the baby. I’m currently pregnant with twins, boy and girl, curious what this milk type would be?
This is so wonderful! Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get our baby to latch, but I exclusively pump and I’m grateful to have an oversupply. However, I feel like some of these benefits don’t apply to me 😞💕
Love this ❤️ i watched you while I was pregnant, your natural videos really helped me❤️ my baby is almost 1 now 😭 and I've been breast feeding the whole time!
Is there anyway that you could do a video on things mamma’s can do during pregnancy to help with milk supply. I had a really low supply with my son and I’m 5 months pregnant now and am trying to do anything I can to try and start off on the right side.
Try taking the Vitamin b6 everyday. Don't miss any days! That's what I did, also I drink tons of Kefir. It's full of probiotics and it's Soo good for you and baby even while he's in the womb!

I think it's more uncomfortable for you than anything else. You should try different positions for the baby. Sometimes when they are uncomfortable they don't want to eat.
I nursed both sides for almost a year but then I just stayed to my left breast after that. For some reason it's more comfortable for me. Still going strong at 18mo. And I did this for two babies.
I feel I should share my story I was induced for four days and ended in C-section first they put a rope inside of me Day 2 they gave me 4 pills day 3 they put a balloon inside of my cervix we had to pull on to pump it which took three hours ( 3 hours of pain) and after finally a nurse pulled really hard and got it out which opened my cervix to tree then my water broke .The baby was face downward and they took SPATULAS to try to turn the baby head which doctors after said baby was lucky to not have marks on the head and could give them three days of headaches! They ask me do u wana go straight c section or try spatulas , i regret so much trying that i was 4 days exhausted n i feel terrible i did !!!!! I wouldn't recommend to anyone n i could feel it inside it felt rough on the baby !! Then i had e c section woch is really long to recover , i didn't know it was that bad but id do it anytime over using spatulas !!

That does sound excessive tbh. You can EBF on demand and your baby will set the schedule and regulate ur supply. In the hospital i was told "watch the baby not the clock". You can formula feed if u want to..but if you wanna ebf, you don't need formula at all. Source...i bf my first for 1 year
I’m taking your course now, you’re so incredibly informative and helpful, thank you!
Who else is breastfeeding while they watch this?
Meee😅
Me too!
me!!!!!!
Dude I don't even have a kid but I'm genuinely curious

Thanks, Bridget, for your amazing content! Currently at 7 months of BF (6 EBF!) plus I’ve donated about 2,400 oz to another baby! Feed all the babies!
Omg that's amazing! I wish my supply was more than 2oz a pump
Wowza! That’s amazing!
@@rivercitylactation It’s a blessing but a lot of work!! We are 8 month in now and over 3000 donated with no end in sight!
That’s so amazing!! I’m hoping to be able to donate too!! Due in 2 weeks, wish me luck! 🤞

I learned that during weaning the good stuff concentrates and almost becomes like colostrum! Crazy. And cool.
Thank you Bridget for this video.. All that you said is true.. I'm a breastfeeding mama of a 25mo old and she is thriving!

Breast milk induces sleep… my 2 week old would say otherwise! 😂😭 he sleeps so peacefully during the day. Nights are a different story…
My 2 week old baby is the same way! It’s tough 😓

Your videos always help especially the positive affirmations for breastfeeding.
Thanks so much for this video!! I am only breastfeeding my son . I didn't know my breast milk is like a medicine!! Truly amazing!! :)❤️

Hi Bridget how long would recommend breastfeeding for? Thank you for your informative videos!
Very interesting that milk can be different based on gender of the baby. I’m currently pregnant with twins, boy and girl, curious what this milk type would be?
My mother in law nursed her twins so that one baby stayed with “their” breast. So maybe each breast would know it’s baby.
This is so wonderful! Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get our baby to latch, but I exclusively pump and I’m grateful to have an oversupply. However, I feel like some of these benefits don’t apply to me 😞💕

To all the working Moms out there: you can do it! It’s hard, but so worth it.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this great information 🙏🥰🥰
Very very interesting !!!!
Awesome video ❤
Loved you❤❤❤❤🙏 thanks for motivation
Amazing!
Breastfeeding is so beautiful and rewarding
It’s a gift from God almighty
Cool facts!
Is it an issue if the baby only takes one breast and not the other? Will there be any problems in the unused side?
You'll get lopsided after a while.
I think it's more uncomfortable for you than anything else. You should try different positions for the baby. Sometimes when they are uncomfortable they don't want to eat.
I nursed both sides for almost a year but then I just stayed to my left breast after that. For some reason it's more comfortable for me. Still going strong at 18mo. And I did this for two babies.
You could get engorged it would be painful and maybe even lead to mastitis
Pump the one baby avoids perhaps the let down is stronger on one side or the baby needs chiropractic care if it hurts for them to turn one way ?
I feel I should share my story I was induced for four days and ended in C-section first they put a rope inside of me Day 2 they gave me 4 pills day 3 they put a balloon inside of my cervix we had to pull on to pump it which took three hours ( 3 hours of pain) and after finally a nurse pulled really hard and got it out which opened my cervix to tree then my water broke .The baby was face downward and they took SPATULAS to try to turn the baby head which doctors after said baby was lucky to not have marks on the head and could give them three days of headaches!

I forgot to say i was induce cause of gestational diabetes wich i didn't knew was so common..
Is this still true if u r just pumping 🤔
Is it true that breastmilk after 6 months is of no value nd jst diminishes a mother's body of calcium???
Interesting! I will try to organize my pumped milk bottles better!
Has anyone fact checked this. Boys and girls get different milk?
i feel insulted that my daughter gets less calcium
