Episode 59 Avoiding the Resentment of Being Needed with Sarah Bivens

Do you feel the resentment of all the ways you are needed as the person who is keeping your baby alive with milk from your body? Does it feel like you can never get away or catch a break? Do you find yourself automatically pulling your shirt up every time your baby cries and feeling angry about it?In this episode Sarah Bivens of The Doing it at Home Podcast shares how she is constantly learning to ask herself if she needs to change the way she is approaching motherhood OR change her attitude toward it. We hear her talk about how she set her intentions around birth and how that positively impacted her breastfeeding experiences, even when she did not explicitly educate herself on this topic. She also shares how she is approaching preparation for her new baby 6 years after becoming a mom for the first time.To get individualized lactation support from me, Lo, go here.To hear my story of home birth on The Doing it at Home Podcast listen here.Head to Apple Podcasts or Spotify for more Doing It At Home episodes!Head to Apple Podcasts or Spotify for more Milk Making Minutes episodes!Learn more about the Doing it at Home Resources on their website!Join The Milk Making Minutes Facebook Group to talk about the structural barriers that make breastfeeding so difficult and work together to chip away at each one.To buy books about pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and parenting, and to support the show while doing it, go to my bookshop!Follow me on IG @milkmakingminutespodcast to laugh about breastfeeding and to see photos of guests!
