REWIND // Will working out hurt your milk supply? — KELLY KENDALL, RN, IBCLC aka @thebalancedboob

Send us Fan Mail"I don't have enough milk." It's the first place a new mom's brain goes when the baby fusses, wakes early, or pops off the breast. And when you add workouts back into the mix? The doubt gets louder.This week's Summer Rewind brings back one of my favorite conversations, with my longtime friend (and former neighbor!) Kelly Kendall, RN, IBCLC, aka @thebalancedboob. Kelly was an L&D nurse who thought she had breastfeeding figured out. Then she became a mom. Tongue ties, mastitis, postpartum anxiety, all of it. That story is exactly why she does what she does now.We get into:🔹 Why "I must not have enough milk" is usually the wrong conclusion (and what's actually normal) 🔹 The real answer to "will exercise mess with my supply?" 🔹 Fueling for lactation AND training: calories, protein, and why this is NOT the season for a deficit 🔹 The logistics nobody warns you about (pumping in the car counts as a win) 🔹 The hardest part of all: believing you deserve time to move your bodyIf you're trying to nurse a baby and get back to the workouts you love, this one will take a weight off your shoulders. Press play.Find Kelly on Instagram @thebalancedboob or at thebalancedboob.comTime Stamps1:00 introduction4:19 common issues and struggles9:15 where moms struggle when starting to add in workouts11:50 nutrition advice for breastfeeding moms14:15 additional advice for momsCONNECT WITH CARRIEIG: https://www.instagram.com/carriepagliano/Website: https://carriepagliano.comCONNECT WITH KELLYIG: https://www.instagram.com/thebalancedboob/The Active Mom Podcast is A Real Moms' Guide to pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause & beyond for active moms & the professionals who help them in their journey.  This show has been a long time in the making!   You can expect conversation with moms and professionals from all aspects of the industry.   If you're like me, you don't have a lot of free time (heck, you're probably listening at 1.5x speed), so theses interviews will be quick hits to get your the pertinent information FAST!  If you love what you hear, share the podcast with a friend and leave us a 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating and review.
