Ep 63: Breastfeeding Tips and Resources

In 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.
