Of Reading Childrens Books
As a writer, with years on a hobby level, I have found myself writing in a plethora of styles; varied according to the purpose I deem inherent; in the writing of whatever subject or style my mind has tended to wander to, and find a worthwhile thread to cling to and follow for a time. As a father of six beautiful children, I find myself drawn toward the beauty and simplicity of children’s books. Having read countless varied styles of children’s books to my own children; and when secretly in my office and no one else is looking, reading them to myself for my own pleasurable enjoyment, satisfying my inner child self; I have discovered varying threads of content within them, and find within this endless category of books a treasure trove like none other in shaping the minds of the next generation; laying the cornerstone and foundation of such philosophical topics as love, personal growth, self-worth, familial stability, tradition, work ethic, character building, creative impassioned enterprise and the like. Of course, some would argue and say that children’s books are written for entertainment purposes only, and that I’m reading between the lines’ so to speak, far too deeply. Perhaps, I am to an extent, and towards this extent I shall continue to explain myself and shall do so unabashedly as I see fit to follow the thread of thoughts my mind has often traversed in silent contemplation.

Increase milk supply
There are several ways to increase milk supply: Breastfeed frequently: The more often you nurse your baby, the more milk your body will produce to meet the demand. Ensure proper latch: A proper latch ensures your baby is able to effectively remove milk from your breasts, which in turn signals your body to produce more milk. Pump after feedings: Pumping after nursing can help stimulate milk production and increase supply. Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water and staying well-hydrated can help keep your milk supply up. Eat a balanced diet: A healthy, balanced diet can provide the nutrients your body needs to produce milk. Get enough rest: Getting enough rest can help reduce stress and promote milk production. Try herbs or supplements: Some herbs, such as fenugreek and blessed thistle, have been used to increase milk supply. Consult with a lactation consultant or your doctor before trying any supplements. Skin-to-skin contact: Spending time skin-to-skin with your baby can help stimulate milk production and promote bonding. Avoid using pacifiers or bottles: If possible, try to avoid using pacifiers or bottles until breastfeeding is well-established, as these can interfere with milk production. Consider power pumping: Power pumping involves pumping for shorter periods of time but more frequently, which can help increase milk production. Use breast compression: Breast compression involves gently compressing your breast while nursing or pumping, which can help encourage milk flow and increase supply. Seek support: Breastfeeding can be challenging, and having support from a lactation consultant, breastfeeding support group, or other breastfeeding mothers can be helpful in increasing milk supply and addressing any concerns or challenges. Switch nursing: Switch nursing involves switching breasts several times during a feeding to stimulate milk flow and encourage milk production. Breast massage: Gently massaging your breasts before nursing or pumping can help increase milk flow and stimulate milk production. Avoid tight clothing: Wearing tight bras or clothing can restrict milk flow and decrease milk supply, so it's important to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Use a breastfeeding-friendly medication: Some medications can decrease milk supply, so it's important to check with your doctor or pharmacist to ensure any medications you're taking are safe for breastfeeding. Try a breastfeeding tea: Some herbal teas, such as fennel and nettle, have been used to increase milk supply. Consult with a lactation consultant or your doctor before trying any teas. Nurse on demand: Responding to your baby's hunger cues and nursing on demand can help stimulate milk production and ensure your baby is getting enough milk. Take care of your mental health: Stress and anxiety can interfere with milk production, so it's important to take care of your mental health. Consider practices such as meditation, yoga, or talking to a therapist. Don't rely on pumping alone: While pumping can be helpful in increasing milk supply, it's important to also nurse your baby directly as much as possible. Consider a galactagogue: Galactagogues are substances that can increase milk production, such as domperidone or metoclopramide. These medications are typically only used in severe cases of low milk supply and require a prescription from a doctor. Experiment with different nursing positions: Different nursing positions can help ensure your baby is effectively removing milk from your breasts and stimulate milk production. Don't give up: Breastfeeding can be challenging, but with patience and persistence, it's possible to increase milk supply and continue breastfeeding your baby.
