053 Homebirth, Breastfeeding, and COVID-19 with Jen Torres

Listen in as Michelle and Jen dig deep into the impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic, the dynamics of blended families, her homebirth, bonding, and breastfeeding. They discuss the importance of finding good lactation support, oral motor issues in babies and children, thrush, the sexualization of breasts in our culture, and why it is vital for each family to find what works best for them regarding the feeding and care of their children. 

"There's so many factors and layers that are out of our control that at a certain point you have to learn to let go — not stress about it. And that's the biggest take away I've had. [...] And I realized that whatever will be, will be. You know, obviously there are certain precautionary measures I take. But I am not going to sit and worry myself to death, because that isn't going to help anyone."—Jen Torres
