Recall alert!

RECALL ALERT!!!! PLEASE SHARE TO SPREAD THE WORD

Maxi-Cosi Is recalling 83,000 of their Pria 85 seats.

"The Dorel Juvenile Group has recalled 83,000 Maxi-Cosi Pria 85 convertible child car seats because they may not adequately protect larger children in a crash.

According to documents posted on the website of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), children who weigh 65 pounds or more could suffer a head injury in a crash when the seat is in the forward-facing position and secured using the lap belt without also using the top-tether strap. The child’s head could come in contact with the vehicle interior during the crash, which could result in potential head injuries, the NHTSA notice says.

This noncompliance recall is because in testing the seat failed to properly restrain the test dummy, thereby not conforming to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 213, which covers child restraint systems."

***EDIT: according to the Maxi Cosi IG this affects Pria 85 AND Pria 85 Max seats***

Have you tried the koala hold breastfeeding position?

The koala hold is a lesser known breastfeeding position that may be helpful with forceful letdown and for babies with reflux or muscle tension, healing from tongue tie revision, or tend to cough and sputter. This hold can also facilitate a more laid back breastfeeding position which may help deepen the latch and manage forceful milk flow. It can also be useful in changing positions to effectively drain a clogged duct.

(Love TLB? Get more here: https://bit.ly/300FPrL)

To do the koala hold, sit in a supportive chair or on a bed with ample pillow support and sit baby on your lap with them straddling you or with their legs crossed or “froggy style” (depends on the baby's preference and size). You may want a little support under their bum (pictured here with a rolled up Goosewaddle swaddle blanket). With the baby facing you supporting them at the back of the neck allowing the freedom of mobility to tilt their head, bare the breast, and support the breast with the other hand. Aim the ni**le toward the nose and gently bring the baby to the breast. Tickle their top lip with the ni**le the encourage them to tilt their head back and open wide. When their mouth is wide open, bring them into the breast for them to take in as much of the ar**la and breast tissue as possible. If desired, lean back or slide down for a more laid back breastfeeding position.

For those with arm, back, neck, or nerve pain or strain, the koala position may be a supportive position that provides relief and eases discomfort.

Depending on the baby, the koala hold can work from newborn on up. It is pictured here with a 4 week old.
