So true. Many colleagues dismiss clients who Google everything, but the fact is that people learn things they need to know and need to hear by reading online! #MarchForMoms

#PostpartumDepression is not a failure to recognize “how lucky you are,” nor is it a failure to “just be grateful.” It is a physiological situation with many symptoms and many potential treatments. #MarchForMoms

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

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

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

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

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

#Breastfeeding is often treated as a throwaway “choice” when #mothers have complications. However, some later grieve losing that opportunity when the dust settles. #IBCLCs can really help with info about integrating #lactation. #MarchForMoms

Also, don’t forget that normal-term #breastfeeding empowers women to control their own #birthspacing - it’s not only about #contraception #marchformoms @MarchForMoms

Many #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

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
