Pumpkin fun
Turn your fall pumpkin into a fun, hands-on learning activity! 🎃

Try one or more of these ideas together:
• Predict how many seeds are inside, then count them
• Measure the pumpkin’s height and circumference
• See whether it sinks or floats
• Explore and describe the different textures
• Compare the sizes, shapes, colors, and weights of several pumpkins
• Use the pumpkin to bake muffins, bread, or another fall treat

Younger children can practice counting, sorting, and describing. Older children can record their predictions, measurements, and results.

A little curiosity can turn an ordinary pumpkin into a family science experiment, and a whole lot of fun.

Breastfeeding shouldn’t feel like a test of endurance.

Finding the right position can make a big difference in your baby’s latch, milk transfer, and your overall comfort while feeding.

There isn’t one “best” breastfeeding position.

The cradle hold is a classic choice, while the cross-cradle hold can give you more control of your baby’s head when working on latch. The football hold can be especially comfortable after a C-section or for moms feeding twins, and side-lying can provide a more restful position once breastfeeding is established.

Pillows, rolled blankets, and good back and arm support can also help bring baby to the breast rather than having mom lean forward throughout the feeding.

Some tenderness can happen as you and baby learn, but persistent pain, cracked or bleeding ni***es, clicking sounds, difficulty staying latched, or concerns about baby's weight gain are reasons to ask for help. Sometimes a small adjustment in positioning or latch can make a big difference.

Have questions about breastfeeding?

We are happy to help. We can answer your questions and also get you any support you may need. Call to schedule an appointment today.
