Ep 63: Breastfeeding Tips and Resources

Send us Fan MailIn honor of World Breastfeeding Week (which is August 1-7), Dr. Shannon and doula Rachael sit down and chat about their own breastfeeding experiences.  And although through both of their experiences they were able to nurse their 2 children for ~ 2 years each, their journeys were very different.  From battling cesarean recovery to bottle refusal to mastitis and forceful letdowns, they share what worked for them and what helped in their breastfeeding experiences.  They then share what tips and resources they offer their patients, pulled from their own experiences, from the experiences of the moms and families they work with, and other birth professionals and lactation experts in the community.  These tips and resources are not exhaustive though!  One key aspect to having a satisfying breastfeeding journey is finding the support and help that you need, and a key factor that both Dr. Shannon and Rachael agree on is taking breastfeeding and lactation support classes while pregnant and connecting with a lactation consultant.  Resources:Watch your posture! - Ep 31: Why is nursing posture important Ep 57: Pediatric Chiropractic Care and Cranial Adjustments - Interview with Dr. Martin RosenBadass Breastfeeding PodcastThis podcast was created from a desire to share conversations and interviews about topics from pregnancy and birth to motherhood and the importance of a healthy body and mind through it all.  Our goal is to bring you fun, interesting, and helpful conversations that excite you and make you want to learn more.  We hope what we share will make an impact and help someone else along their journey.  We believe that when you are aligned in body, mind, and your intuition, you can conquer anything!  If you like what you are hearing and you don’t want to miss our newest episodes, be sure and tap subscribe.
