Protecting maternal health during #postpartum period means improved infant health, including higher #breastfeeding rates. #MarchForMoms @MarchForMoms @USLCA #IBCLC

In our nation, #breastfeeding rates are severely restricted by the failure of society and the health care system to adequately facilitate #parents to feed their babies and raise them the way they feel is best. #MarchForMoms @MarchForMoms @USLCA

Very happy to see that @PostpartumHelp has an insert in the conference bag at #ILCA18. This is an excellent resource with which every lactation care provider should be familiar. Keep their info handy! #4thTrimester @MarchForMoms #MaternalMentalHealth

Some #mothers who have suffered #PPMDs say that being told to wean their babies made their experience worse and increased their amount of time to healing. #MarchForMoms @MarchForMoms @USLCA

Research on #maternalmentalhealth and #breastfeeding demonstrates that there is a complicated relationship between the two, but it does not point to ceasing breastfeeding as the solution for all who suffer from #PPMDs. #MarchForMoms @MarchForMoms @USLCA

Creating better systems for monitoring #postpartum health includes integrating your local #IBCLCs and other lactation care providers into the network. We are an important link in this circle of care. #MarchForMoms @MarchForMoms @USLCA

There has been a significant lack of mention of #breastfeeding today during the #MarchForMoms. Lactation is a reality for a majority of #postpartum women. How can this be a tiny little aside? @MarchForMoms @USLCA

Thank you @ProPublica for raising the voice of #marchformoms

Women’s Health includes access to skilled #lactation care. #IBCLCs are the national standard in clinical lactation care, but providing accurate info about #breastfeeding is EVERY health care provider’s responsibility. #MarchForMoms @MarchForMoms @USLCA

“Who are these lost #mothers?” “Why did so few people and so few institutions seem to notice or seem to care? #marchformoms

#marchformoms: system places higher priority on health & safety of baby than those of his mother
November 24, 2024 at 12:15 PM
#marchformoms is happening now and giving voice to those who have died during #childbirth or during #postpartum period - yes, here in America this happens literally EVERY SINGLE DAY in 2018
November 24, 2024 at 12:15 PM
We know our healthcare system prioritizes #babies over #mothers - during #postpartum period, mothers aren’t seen until 6-8 weeks, while babies are seen within days of leaving #hospital. Is one more important? #MarchForMoms @MarchForMoms @USLCA

When we ask “was this maternal death preventable,” we should be sure to ask “were these birth interventions medically necessary.” #marchformoms #maternalhealth is not just about preventing #postpartumhemorrhage

Yes, #heartdisease during 1st yr after #pregnancy. One of the most important and best mitigators is #breastfeeding. #marchformoms #IBCLC

Many #IBCLCf="/hashtag/IBCLCs" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#IBCLCs do this work because they want to see more #babies breastfed. I became an #IBCLC because I learned firsthand how disrespected #mothers, #fathers, & #parents are during #pregnancy, #childbirth, & #postpartum. #marchformoms

#marchformoms: Placenta Accreta affects too many #mothers - a specific risk of #cesarean birth that is not always made clear to women considering cesarean.
November 24, 2024 at 12:08 PM
#marchformoms: OB/GYN speaking now, talking about finding the sweet spot where we are doing just enough #cesarean birth to save lives but not so many that we increase risks
November 24, 2024 at 12:01 PM
Also, don’t forget that normal-term #breastfeeding empowers women to control their own #birthspacing - it’s not only about #contraception #marchformoms @MarchForMoms
November 24, 2024 at 12:01 PM
There’s so much we can do when we #collaborate - please include #IBCLCs in this conversation because we have close and frequent contact with #postpartum women #MarchForMoms @MarchForMoms @USLCA
November 24, 2024 at 12:01 PM
We should not forget the many #nurses & other hospital staff who may be the front-line in picking up signs & symptoms of complications in immediate #postpartum #MarchForMoms
