E14: Discovering the Support Systems for New Nursing Mothers

Send us Fan MailThe journey of breastfeeding often presents unanticipated challenges that demand learning and perseverance, akin to a baby learning to walk. By recognizing breastfeeding as a learned skill rather than an automatic function, we aim to empower expectant parents with the knowledge and resources necessary for a successful experience. We delve into the critical role of pediatricians, Baby Cafe support groups, La Leche League, WIC peer counselors, and especially International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs). You'll gain insight into the reassurance that comes from weighted feeds, the strides taken by the Lactation Network to ensure insurance coverage for lactation consultations, and the plethora of video resources and virtual support available on birthlearning.com. Tune in and equip yourself with the tools and confidence needed to navigate your breastfeeding journey.Visit our website, here: https://hatchednlatched.com/Follow us on Facebook at Hatched & LatchedFollow us on Instagram at @hatchenlatchedShow CreditsHost: Angie Rosier Music: Michael Hicks Photographer: Toni WalkerEpisode Artwork: Nick Greenwood Producer: Gillian Rosier FramptonVoiceover: Ryan Parker
