Born to be Breastfed

20

Every new mother hears that breast is best. Many decide to breastfeed so their baby has the best. But soon after birth, the days are often fraught with sleep deprivation and conflicting messages from peers, family members, and health care professionals. Later, negative messages from the media and critical comments from family members and others may trigger mothers to question their decision. Feelings of inadequacy, intimidation and societal pressure to wean can cause mothers to give up breastfeeding before meeting their goals.The aim of this show is to empower parents to overcome the barriers that keep them from beginning or continuing to breastfeed. Through discussion of hospital practices, milk supply, medications, returning to work, milk storage options, and more, this show will provide an informed and supportive voice for new families and established families, so that they can take charge of their breastfeeding experience from conception through weaning.

    A must listen to series
    I adore this podcast series! Marie is constantly bringing on the biggest names in breastfeeding while simultaneously making the topics easy to understand for both mothers and medical personnel. I will be sitting for the IBCLC exam soon and I have found this podcast series invaluable!

    ACES show
    This show was difficult for me to listen to and I worry about parents who may not have the resources I have in my life. Maybe a trigger warning but at the very least she should listen to herself because Marie sounds really flippant when discussing some very difficult, painful experiences.
