Why it's Important to Normalizing Formula Feeding with Jayne Freeman
from Yoga Birth Babies · host Deb Flashenberg and Independent Podcast Network
Have you considered the different choices there are when feeding your baby? Offering choices and education is something we value here at PYC. Our job is to support your choices for birth, however you choose to birth. When it comes to feeding baby, nevertheless, not all parents feel this support. Many parents sense judgement from others when they opt for formula feeding or bottle feeding. In this conversation, Jayne Freeman talks about the need to normalize formula feeding. She shares how the current breastfeeding narrative may contribute to anxiety, lack of confidence and postpartum depression. Jayne gives some practical information on how to choose formula if that’s the path you opt to take. On this episode of Yoga|Birth|Babies, we welcome Jayne Freeman to have this discussion. Jayne Freeman is a CEA/MNY certified childbirth educator, breastfeeding counselor and postpartum doula specializing in mood disorder prevention. After the birth of her two daughters, Jayne started a public access show about birth and parenting, titled “Mamarama.” More recently Jayne’s area of focus has been on postpartum mood disorders and she is working on advanced certifications for perinatal mental health. Her current mission is to shift our feeding paradigm to one of choice and inclusion. Expectant parents put so much emphasis on how they will be taking care of the baby and they do not consider how they will be taking care of themselves. New parents would benefit from being better prepared when it comes to taking care of themselves during the postpartum period. It’s important to acknowledge that when something is not working, such as breastfeeding, it’s okay to transition to an alternative without feeling any sense of guilt.
