DADA’S GEAR FOR BOTTLE FEEDING 🍼

1️⃣ PORTABLE BOTTLE WARMER: Choosing a stainless steel specific one. I avoid using the bottle warmers where it heats it in the plastic bottles or in the milk bags. Personally prefer to avoid heating microplastics in general.

Mekė Baby Milk Warmer is what I use.

2️⃣GLASS & SILICON BOTTLES: Again we wanted to reduce exposure of heated milk with plastics so we would feed her in these bottles. We were gifted some BPA FREE bottles, which we used to store my pumped milk before combining it into the bigger pitcher bottles.

I use New Beginnings Maternity
To give you an idea, a 120ml twin pack was all we needed up until now & ongoing (4 months).

Additionally, just our own observations, we noticed more burping after bottle feeding. Whereas breastfeeding, there was barely any up until 1-2 months (0-1 burp). Then when her digestive system developed more, she started to burp more from b**b (1-2 small burps).

This is not professional advice whatsoever, this is just what worked for me.

HAPPY PUMPING 🐮

There's a crease that can show up on the earlobe, called Frank's sign, and it's been studied more than you'd think in relation to cerebrovascular health.

One theory ties it to beta amyloid, a protein that builds up through the day and is meant to clear during deep sleep, through the brain's own drainage system, the glymphatic system. It's a nudge to look at sleep depth, gut health and inflammation together.

Either way, it's a sign to consider exploring further with a professional practitioner.

Dark circles get blamed on tiredness constantly. Sleep is only part of the story. Liver load, food sensitivities, chronic low grade infections and even mouth breathing all belong on this list too.

Pale nails and a pale inner eyelid are two simple, free checks worth knowing. If either resonates alongside fatigue or heavy periods, ferritin is the marker to ask for, not just haemoglobin.

If this resonates, ask for a full iron panel, not just the basics.
I'm always happy to explain what to ask for. 🩸

Dry skin is so often treated as a topical problem when it's actually a fat intake problem. Your skin needs fat to hold onto moisture from the inside out.

Those bumps on the back of the arms have a name, keratosis pilaris, and a nutrient story most people have never heard. Fat isn't the villain here, it's often part of the missing piece.

If you've always bruised easily and been told it's "just how your skin is," there's usually more going on. Iron, thyroid, vitamin K and stress all belong in that conversation, and women carry more of these risk factors than men do.

Yellow undertones in the skin or eyes are one of the more reliable liver signals the body gives us.

Bile production, in particular, is something almost nobody thinks about until it’s not working properly.

Your skin is downstream of your gut.

If eczema, dermatitis or psoriasis keeps returning no matter what cream you try, the conversation might need to start further up, in the gut lining, not on the surface.

This is the kind of pattern I look for with clients before we ever talk topical fixes.
