On Friday, I was activated with the North Carolina Army National Guard in response to Hurricane Helene alongside FEMA, DoT, military units across several other states, and dozens of other organizations. Over the past 19.5 years in the military, I've been a part of Emergency Response in 4 different states and one thing remains constant: I am always awestruck seeing our communities rally for one another. My heart goes out to every family impacted by Helene and to those bracing for Milton. It breaks my soul to see my friends and family in Florida suffering and I wish you all safety in the coming days. In response, Free to Feed has reopened our Human milk and formula sharing program at freetofeed.com/share If you have frozen milk you can donate, especially elimination diet milk, or extra unopened formula, please check out the page and submit a give form. If you are in need, please read the program details and submit a receive form. Our community is absolutely the best at supporting one another and the Free to Feed team is honored to help facilitate that in any way we can.

😃☕️🍼 International Coffee Day and baby reactivity? Let's talk about it! 👶☕ Dr. Trill dives into the science behind coffee and infant symptoms. Turns out, it's not always the caffeine! 😲 Key takeaways: - Rule out other factors: Creamers, dairy, soy, nut, and grain-based add-ins can be culprits. - Minimal caffeine transfer: Caffeine in coffee is shown to transfer in minuscule amounts to breast milk. - Protein breakdown: Coffee's roasting process breaks down proteins, making it less likely to cause reactions. - Histamine sensitivity: Coffee is high in histamine, which can trigger reactions in individuals with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). - Gastrointestinal factors: Maternal coffee consumption can impact the gastrointestinal system, potentially affecting the transfer of dietary proteins.

This week we are wrapping up World Breastfeeding Month by honoring Semana de La Lactancia Latina, or ****Latina/x Breastfeeding Week (September 3-9)! This Year’s theme is: “*Reclaiming Culture Through Lactation”* Semana de La Lactancia Latina was created in 2023 by the Union de Lideres de Lactancia Latino (Latinx Lactation Collective) and is celebrated annually on the first Tuesday following Labor Day to the following Monday, this year September 3-9. The observance aims to uplift voices from the Latino/x community, and celebrate the diverse cultures and resilience of Latino communities. The collective also strives to bring awareness to the unique barriers faced by these communities and advocates for language justice. At Free to Feed, we respect and support all paths of infant feeding. We firmly believe that we all have a collective duty to uphold and support maternal rights and needs. It is crucial for everyone to contribute to infant nutrition and food security. This includes ensuring access to lactation support, supplies, accommodations, donor milk, and formula. Infant feeding challenges can become even more overwhelming for those navigating food allergies. Here are a few of the obstacles families face: 👩🏽🍼Cultural Stereotypes: In some Latino cultures, there are myths and misconceptions about breastfeeding, such as the idea that it can spoil a person's figure or that it is an activity for low-income individuals. These stereotypes can discourage individuals from breast/body feeding. 👩🏽🍼Lack of Information: Parents may not have access to accurate and comprehensive information about the benefits of bfing, the proper techniques, and how to overcome common challenges. 👩🏽🍼Language Barrier: If Spanish is their primary language, they might face difficulties in understanding English language resources or communicating with healthcare providers who do not speak Spanish. 👩🏽🍼Work-Related Challenges: Parents often return to work shortly after childbirth due to financial necessity, making it difficult to continue breastfeeding. In addition, workplaces may not provide suitable facilities for pumping and storing breast milk. If you’re comfortable, please share your infant feeding story in the comments below, or simply share your support by commenting with a ❤️. #SemanadeLaLactanciaLatina2024 #LatinaCBreastfeedingWeek2024 #LatinXBreastfeedingWeek2024 #LatinX #FreetoFeed #NationalBreastfeedingMonth #WorldBreastfeedingWeek #InfantAllergies #Breastfeeding #Nursing #Lactation #FoodAllergySupport
