Most expecting moms think
breastfeeding happens naturally.
Truth is - while it is natural, breastfeeding is rarely easy.
Our babies are born without immune systems or the ability to create them on their own. Our breast milk is their only real defense against the outside world.
But, here's the thing about breastfeeding: It can be soul-crushing for moms who don't have proper knowledge and support. I know, because I was one of them.
As a registered nurse and certified nurse-midwife, my job was to deliver babies. Yet, when I gave birth to my first child, I was shocked by how wildly unprepared I was to breastfeed her.

COVID-19 has created a lot of concern and worry for new and expecting moms.
BREASTFEEDING HELPS KEEP YOU AND YOUR BABY HEALTHY
Breast milk is the foundation for
Stronger Immunity
When you breastfeed, you pass along antibodies and healthy bacteria that protect your baby from all sorts of infections from the past or that you're both exposed to in the present.
Boosted Development
Your baby will experience better tooth, facial, and muscle development with breastfeeding, often equating to advanced speech capabilities and less chance of needing orthodontic care.
Higher IQ
Studies indicate that breastfeeding has a positive effect on a baby's brain and nervous system development, resulting in higher IQ scores and fewer behavior and learning problems as they grow older.
Reduced Health Risks
Breastfeeding reduces your baby's risk for short- and long-term issues, such as gastrointestinal problems (gas, diarrhea, reflux), asthma, eczema, food allergies, and even leukemia and SIDS.
everything.
It can be life-saving for you, too.
When you breastfeed your baby, you may experience decreased postpartum bleeding, easier weight loss, a reduced risk of postpartum depression, and cost savings of up to $3000 per year in formula costs alone.
Breastfeeding is also associated with a risk reduction of certain types of cancer in women, as well as many other chronic and life-threatening diseases.
What should I know about breastfeeding + COVID-19?
{Insert response from Shari}
-Should I breastfeed if I am COVID-19 positive?
-Shortage of formula-Lactation consultants are non-essential
Will the course help me learn everything about breastfeeding? Will it replace a live course that was canceled due to COVID-19?
Yes! Simply Breastfeeding is a comprehensive course that covers nearly everything you need to know about breastfeeding along with visual demonstrations so you'll know you're doing it right.
Won’t help from the hospital nurse or midwife be enough to help me breastfeed?
Even under normal circumstances, nurses aren’t trained adequately about breastfeeding and can even give incorrect advice and create unrealistic expectations that lead to breastfeeding problems in the future. Even if you are fortunate enough to get good help, you will be sent home before many of the potential difficulties occur.
That’s precisely why we created this course. While most parents prepare for the delivery, very few prepare at the same lengths for feeding their babies. With proper training and dozens of videos of real moms breastfeeding at your fingertips, you’ll be fully prepared to overcome any challenges you might face. Knowledge is power, mama!
Couldn't I just read a book instead?
There are lots of good books about breastfeeding. What they lack, though, are video tutorials and demonstrations of moms breastfeeding correctly. In my three decades of experience, it’s these visuals that make all the difference in successfully equipping moms to breastfeed.
Should my spouse or partner watch the course with me?
Yes, yes, yes!! Partners often feel helpless when moms struggle to breastfeed their babies. By sharing this knowledge with them, they feel empowered to help. And, frankly, they often have a better angle to see what’s gone awry. We encourage couples to treat this course just as they treat a birthing course: It’s absolutely essential.
What if I’ve already had my baby? Is it too late for this course?
Absolutely not! You will find tremendous value in working through the modules, no matter what phase of breastfeeding you're in. In only two hours, we expect you’ll find just what you need to overcome any obstacles you’re facing, helping you stay on course to achieve your breastfeeding goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Giving birth during uncertain times feels scary, but
you can protect your baby.
Nothing like giving birth in a pandemic, amen? It's going to be ok and it's not. What I mean is, COVID-19 is going to exasperate problems that already exist in labor and delivery units around the nation. Pre-pandemic, nurses didn't have enough time to spend with moms during the earliest, most defining moments of their breastfeeding journeys. They have even less time now. Which is crushing, because —
Breast milk is the best way to protect babies from COVID-19
How long should I invert? / 該倒吊牽引多長時間?
Approximately 3-5 minutes of inversion is necessary to effectively decompress the weight bearing joints; however, this depends on the ability of your muscles to relax and release.
初試者應形成倒立治療的習慣，一開始的時候，一個療程1到2分鐘，直至適應才開始增加時間。請記住：拉伸和重新校正身體的時候，就和其他鍛煉項目或者緩解背部疼痛的方法一樣，在一開始，您有可能會覺得疼痛。如果感覺疼痛，請降低倒吊的角度或者時間，逐步地進行練習。另外，也可以參考我們的4星期療程指引。
How often should I invert? 倒吊牽引的次數？
To achieve maximum results, we recommend routinely inverting with the Teeter several times a day.
To what degree should I invert? 需要倒吊到什麼程度？
Beginners should start at a mild angle (approximately 20-30 degrees beyond horizontal) for the first few weeks until you become comfortable with the operation of the equipment. You should be able to completely relax your body at this angle before you invert to greater angles.
20 - 30 degrees: At this angle, muscles and joints begin to experience mild stretching with improved circulation and lymph flow.
60 degrees (parallel with the rear legs of the table): According to the Nachemson medical study, which surgically implanted pressure sensors in the third lumbar disc and compared pressure at different body positions, a pull of 60% of the patient's body weight is necessary to decompress the lumbar. This roughly equates to 60 degrees on a Teeter. To experience the full benefits of inversion, take your time and work up to the 60 degree angle.
90 degrees (full inversion): Although advancing to 90 degrees is not required to get the decompressive benefits, our survey shows that nearly half of all users do fully invert, enjoying the added freedom for stretches and exercises offered at this angle.
呈20°至30°角度倒吊：肌肉和關節開始輕微地拉伸，同時也加強（血液）循環和促進淋巴流動。
60°（和倒立機的後腿平行）：根據納克姆松的醫療研究所示，通過外科手術在第三節腰椎間盤植入壓力感測器，比較不同姿勢下，腰椎間盤內的壓力。給腰部減壓，牽引力需達到患者體重的60%。在Teeter倒吊器上大約需要60°的角度。為了能夠充分受益於倒吊，慢慢來，逐步增至60°。
90°（完全倒立）：雖然不必要呈90°倒立來給身體各部位減壓，但是我們的調查顯示，將近一半的使用者喜愛在完全倒吊時，能用來進行各種伸展的動作和強化的鍛煉。另外，也可以參考我們的4星期療程指引。
Isn't all the blood going to go to my head? Are there any risks? 是不是所有的血液都會流進我的大腦？會有任何危險嗎？
The body accommodates for the changing blood pressure by dilating the vessels and capillaries and increasing the cerebral spinal fluid to support the vessels. Will you feel increased pressure and will your face turn red? Probably. The redness is a result of the increased blood flow and dilation of the capillaries, which actually brings more oxygen to the brain, eyes, skin and hair. That feeling of pressure (caused by a reversal of the hydrostatic column) actually occurs outside of the skull in the face and eyes. Inside the skull, there are compensating pressures, as discussed above.
The increased circulation and therefore nutrients to the brain can actually be good for you! One preliminary study showed that the brain runs 7% faster and 14% more accurate while inverted! Any discomfort caused by the superficial pressure changes usually lessens over time as you become accustomed to inverting.
就似瑜伽一直提倡倒立，是因為倒立可以增加腦部血液循環，供給大腦養分對您其實有益。一份初步調查研究顯示，大腦在倒立的時候運轉比正常要快7%，而且準確性比正常高出14%。任何由外來壓力而引起的不適，通常會在您適應倒立後，在一段時間內會有所減輕。如果您是初試者，對這種感覺感到不適的話，起來休息一會再重復。這稱之為間歇牽引（直立和倒立相替換），有助您適應倒立。您也可以在倒立時嘗試搖動，有規律的前後搖晃，也能幫助舒緩適應前的不適。
Can inversion help children with scoliosis? Does age matter? 使用倒吊牽引療法能否幫助患有脊柱側彎的兒童？年齡是否是個問題？
Our medical advisor prefers to get patients involved with inversion as early as possible. Using inversion to help slow or reverse the effects of scoliosis is helpful at any age, but especially before the bones fully harden at ages 12-14. The size of the equipment may be an issue, so younger children will need an attendant.
There are many causes of scoliosis. Some causes may be problematic for inversion (bone infection, cancer, compression fracture). Most scoliosis in children is related to bone anomalies or calcification disorders, both of which do well with inversion. Of course, you should always consult with a licensed physician.
Inversion table suited for elderly? 年老者可否使用倒吊牽引機?
Yes, the tables provide the best back stretch also suited for older people, but we suggested consult your physician who can assist you in planning a program appropriate for your age and physical condition.
Are there health issues that would prevent me from inverting? Contraindications for inversions? 使用倒立機有否一些禁忌需注意?
Practically anyone can benefit from using a Teeter on a regular basis. Most normally healthy individuals are able to invert. Be sure to check with your doctor before starting any exercise program and refer to the contraindications list below.
When will I feel benefits? 多久才能夠感覺到倒吊牽引的好處?
Some may feel the benefits right away, some over a period of 2-3 weeks of routine use. The key is getting your body to relax and release, which may take some time until you become comfortable with inverting.
Will I get dizzy? 因會頭暈所以不能倒吊？
The sensation of blood rushing to your head will ease as you get used to inverting. You can prevent dizziness upon rotating upright if you pause just above horizontal to allow your body to re-adjust.
Do I have to invert to full 90 degrees to get the full benefits? 需要倒立到什麼程度？
No! Benefits start at a mild angle of 20 degrees. To fully decompress the spine, work up to 60 degrees (the angle of the rear legs). The Angle Tether allows the user to easily pre-set the angle of inversion so you never go farther than you want. It’s interesting to note, however, that over half of all Teeter customers do routinely fully invert (“lock-out” at 90 degrees) because they like the way it feels and enjoy the added freedom of movement for stretching and exercise.

What do I do upside down? 倒吊時我應該做些什麼?
Many people simply kick back and relax. Others incorporate movement and stretching to maximize the benefits. Some even exercise to strengthen the core and legs. The Instructional DVD and Healthy Back Routines will show you how!
How does it work? 這產品是什麼原理?
Inverting with a Teeter allows you to target back pain at the source naturally, using your body weight and gravity to elongate and relax tense muscles while decompressing your spine and weight-bearing joints.
Lose my belly by using inversion table? 可以減肚腩嗎?
Inversion table aid the body by releasing pressure on the spine. Doing exercises from the inverted position increases the resistance and provides additional stretching therapy.
My pain has gone, should I keep using my inversion table? 用倒吊牽引機有一段時間，我腰椎的問題已改善了，痛楚也消失了，現在該怎樣？
The best way to maintain a healthy back throughout your life is by getting into the routine of decompressing your spine on a Teeter Inversion Table. Just as you brush your teeth every day to maintain your dental health, you should attend to the health of your spine with a healthy routine. There is no miracle for back pain.
Can an inversion table be harmful to my eyes? 倒吊會否增加患上眼睛疾病的風險?
Since you'll go upside down when using an inversion table, the pressure will focus on your eyes and ears. However, increasing eyes pressure by using an inversion table correctly is not harmful to the eyes if you don't have any condition in these body parts, such as Glaucoma, Glaucoma or Retinal detachment.
