123. My Milk Supply Survived Hashimotos, Pneumonia, and Getting My Cycle Back: Here's How

from The Well Nourished Mama · host Brooke Harmer

In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing the full story of how I built and sustained a resilient milk supply through one of the hardest years of my life. This wasn’t about pumping around the clock, panicking, or fighting my body. It was about understanding the foundations of lactation, creating a personalized care plan to support my health, and working with my body instead of against it. If you’ve ever feared your period, illness, thyroid issues, or stress would tank your supply, this episode will give you a new lens. Because protecting milk supply isn’t about doing more—it’s about supporting your physiology in the right way. And yes—I made it to one year breastfeeding without needing formula or relying on pumping to maintain supply.
