This week we delve into the world of breastfeeding advocacy with none other than the Badass Breastfeeder herself, Abby Theuring. It feels like no matter where you turn today, breastfeeding has become politicized beyond belief, and the voice of those whom breastfeeding directly impacts is left out. Whether it's women sharing stories of feeling shamed or bullied into breastfeeding or the polar opposite of the fed is best movement that moves us away from the support that individuals need to reach their breastfeeding goals, advocacy today is a landmine. Luckily it's one Abby is willing to enter and one that we explore in this hour. Join me as we get talking about breastfeeding advocacy.

“Honey, I was listening to the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast this morning. Dianne and Abby were talking about boundaries. I think that’s something I need.” “Honey, what do you mean by boundaries? Do you want me to stay away from you?” “Honey, not boundaries from you. Boundaries with breastfeeding. I have thought about this on days when I feel like I want to wean because I am just so overwhelmed. But I always feel guilty. Dianne and Abby explain it in a way that makes a lot of sense. I think we need this.” “Ok honey. I will listen to the podcast today and get the details. Then I can help support you if this is what you want.” This week on the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast, Dianne and Abby are discussing breastfeeding boundaries.

“Honey, how long has this milk been sitting out?” “Umm…about 4 hours I think.” “WHAT?? 4 hours? Did you forget about it? Should I throw it away?” “HONEY! NO. Never throw milk away. Human milk can sit out for more than 4 hours! I thought you knew that?” “I did not know that. All I know is that you can freeze it. Where can I find information about the rest?” “Well, lucky for you Dianne and Abby are talking about milk storage on the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast this week. You will get all the information you need about milk storage just from listening.” “Perfect! I’ll do that now!” Confused about milk storage?

This week we are taking a vacation to spend the holidays with our families! We will be replaying episode 24 Alcohol Consumption and Breastfeeding, our most popular episode. We will be back next week with an all new episode!“Honey, Is that a white wine you are drinking with that fish and broccoli?! What are you doing? I thought you were a breastfeeder!!” “I didn’t know!! Is that bad? It was only one glass!” Listen this week as Dianne and Abby talk about alcohol consumption during breastfeeding. After you listen, maybe you can relax with a glass of wine! P.S. There is a difference between having a glass of wine or a beer, and getting trashed. Drinking too much leads to bad decision-making.

“Honey, our pediatrician told me that our little guy shouldn’t be eating as much as he is. And, I saw my OB/GYN today and he said I need to wean if I want to think about having another baby. I didn’t think that was something I needed to do. I am not ready to wean him yet, and I didn’t think he was eating too much – until today. I am so confused.” “Honey, wait a minute. Why did the OB tell you that? We haven’t even talked about having more kids yet. Don’t even worry about that! And I’m pretty sure you don’t have to wean.” “Really? UGH. I am just so tired of the mixed messages.” “Honey, I listened to the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast this week. Did you? Dianne and Abby are talking about doctors, and how sometimes information can be confusing.” “HA!! If Dianne and Abby are talking about doctors and breastfeeding, I’m sure they said more than that. I will tune in, I bet it will clear some things up for me.” This week on the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast, Dianne and Abby are discussing how information from doctors can be misleading, confusing, and downright incorrect.

“Honey, at the holiday party tonight my aunt told me that the baby is using me as a pacifier. She said that he is feeding too often and he is just pacifying and I shouldn’t let him do that. Am I doing something wrong?” “Honey, not at all. Before we had our little guy, I may have thought that too. But now, I know better. I was listening to the podcast yesterday and Dianne and Abby were talking about this exact thing! I wish you had listened before the holiday party, you would have felt much better about the whole thing.” “I’m going to go listen right now. I hate doubting my instincts when it comes to our baby.

“Honey, I am so glad our little guy didn’t have jaundice.” “Honey, what the heck is jaundice, anyway? I remember the doctor saying that he looked a ‘little jaundice’, but nothing to worry about. I never asked what all that meant.” “I’m not really clear on all of it either, but I do know that it can make breastfeeding pretty difficult.

“Honey, my friend just had a baby and she is really struggling. You should hear the crazy advice she is getting from people!” “Honey, remember when our little guy was brand new? You were receiving some pretty crazy advice too.”“I know, but I feel like this is worse. Someone told her that some babies will never breastfeed, that they just prefer bottles from the start. That just doesn’t make sense to me!” “That is weird. Hmm. Maybe you should have her listen to the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast.
