No, stress won't dry up your milk. How to keep breastfeeding your baby in an emergency

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, October 3, 2023

Although babies don’t understand the nature of emergencies such as bushfires, floods and cyclones, they and their mothers are impacted.

Key Points: 
  • Although babies don’t understand the nature of emergencies such as bushfires, floods and cyclones, they and their mothers are impacted.
  • But mothers can find it difficult to breastfeed during emergencies, and may believe stress affects their milk supply.

Demand and supply

    • After birth, the breasts automatically make milk to feed the baby, but over time they change to a demand and supply way of working.
    • This means that when the baby feeds and milk is removed from the breasts, the breasts make more milk.
    • Babies drink the milk made in the breasts with the help of a hormone called oxytocin.

Stress doesn’t impact milk production

    • However, mothers often worry that the stress of an emergency has reduced their milk supply.
    • Although stress won’t hamper a mother’s milk supply, it can temporarily reduce oxytocin release, slowing the flow of milk.

Some challenges

    • Emergencies like bushfires and floods are difficult for everyone, but can be especially challenging for parents of babies and toddlers.
    • For breastfeeding mothers, the busyness of an emergency and a lack of privacy may mean they miss their baby’s cues or delay breastfeeding.

How can I keep breastfeeding through an emergency?

    • Keeping your baby close, breastfeeding frequently, and drinking enough water will protect your milk supply.
    • If you stopped breastfeeding because of an emergency, it’s possible to start again if you want to.
    • The free national breastfeeding helpline is available 24/7 and is a good place to find support.

Preparing for an emergency

    • Make an emergency plan that includes packing an evacuation kit, leaving early and evacuating to a relative or friend’s home rather than an evacuation centre if possible.
    • Here's what to put in your emergency kit

      Anything emergency responders can do to reduce the burden of the emergency on mothers, such as prioritising them for services and offering them private spaces in evacuation centres, will help them to care for and breastfeed their babies.

    • A free e-learning module for emergency responders on disaster support for babies, toddlers and their caregivers is available here.

Face pareidolia: how pregnant women could help us understand why we see faces in inanimate objects

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, September 28, 2023

But it’s an error that can help us understand the workings of the human mind.

Key Points: 
  • But it’s an error that can help us understand the workings of the human mind.
  • Many scientific studies exclude pregnant women out of concern that the dramatic changes to their hormone levels may affect results.
  • They found women who had had recently given birth were more likely to see face-like patterns than those who were pregnant.
  • They predicted that postpartum women would have higher levels of oxytocin than pregnant women, therefore making it easier for them to see faces in face-like patterns.

Seeing faces in objects

    • During the test, all of the women were shown three types of images: human faces, ordinary objects and illusory faces (objects with face-like patterns in them).
    • The results showed that the postpartum women did indeed report seeing more faces for the illusory face images (median response was 7.08) in comparison with the pregnant women (median response of 5.30).
    • As expected, these groups didn’t differ much in their responses to the images of human faces and ordinary objects.
    • At the very least, these studies seem to agree that women vary greatly in the patterns they show.

Some more than others

    • While the Australian study focused on pregnant and postpartum women, we know that most people experience seeing face-like patterns.
    • Researchers have even found that loneliness may cause people to see these face-like patterns more often.
    • As a preliminary study, this team’s new finding that postpartum women show increased face pareidolia is certainly an interesting one.

Newfound Brain Circuit Explains Why Infant Cries Prompt Milk Release

Wednesday, September 20, 2023

Led by researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, the study explored a centuries-old observation in humans and other mammals that when a baby begins a feeding session, its cries alone can prompt its mother to release breast milk.

Key Points: 
  • Led by researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, the study explored a centuries-old observation in humans and other mammals that when a baby begins a feeding session, its cries alone can prompt its mother to release breast milk.
  • This sensory hub then sends signals to oxytocin-releasing brain cells (neurons) in another region called the hypothalamus, a control center for hormone activity.
  • In addition, the mothers' brain circuitry only responded to her pups' cries and not to computer-generated tones designed to mimic natural wails.
  • Then, in a form of "reverse engineering," they traced how sound information travels through different areas of the brain to trigger milk flow.

Yes, they may love their baby very much but the broader impact of having a baby and becoming a mother can feel far more complex.

Key Points: 
  • Yes, they may love their baby very much but the broader impact of having a baby and becoming a mother can feel far more complex.
  • Research shows that when we look at happiness over our lifetime, the year after having a baby can be one of our lowest points.
  • It’s not about our relationship with our baby but rather the other parts of our lives that have changed so much.
  • We are all tempted to just share the best bits, thinking we need to hide our feelings because we think everyone else is so happy.
  • You might feel trapped, wanting to escape yet at the same time feeling you can’t leave your baby.
  • Sometimes these feelings are linked to physical events during the birth, but often they’re more about how you felt or were treated.

Getting support

    • Many doulas (a person who can support you through pregnancy, labour and birth) also offer help to explore how you are feeling about your birth and caring for your baby.
    • Focus on looking after yourself, too: Your diet, activity levels and time outdoors can all affect how you feel.
    • Try baby massage: It can help you to slow down and connect with your baby.
    • Often mothers experiencing mental health difficulties are highly attuned to their baby’s needs because they are so worried about not getting it right.
