Spilling the Milk: Breastfeeding Chats
A series of casual breastfeeding chat sessions about the triumphs and tribulations of keeping tiny humans fed. Put on your yoga pants (oh wait, you're already wearing them!) and tune in. The most powerful way for mamas to support each other is to share that we're not alone. Click the link for your favorite podcast app to Listen & Subscribe!
Spilling the Milk: Breastfeeding Chats
Lauren - Lip Tie Surprise
My guest is Lauren, a wife and mom of two little girls, Elliana who is 2 ½ and Charlotte who is 7 months old. She is also a social worker who works with adults with developmental disabilities and is trying to balance it all, just like everyone else.
We discuss painful nursing in the beginning, the barriers to meeting with a lactation consultant (emotional, mental, and logistics), finding out two years later that baby has a lip tie, comparing baby 2 to baby 1 and the guilt that comes with that, the amazing Haakaa (with lid!), dwindling supply, and more.
