Episode #50: We're joined by Laura Vollset & Maggie Muir to discuss Perinatal Depression & Anxiety (PPD). While this is one of the most common complications of pregnancy, it is often unrecognized and under-diagnosed. Laura shares her experience of having had debilitating PPD after the birth of her twins.

Being a new mom can be extremely challenging with lots of “firsts” and things to learn. Breastfeeding is definitely one of the things that many new moms aren't prepared for. Sometimes breast feeding can be a joyful bond between baby and mom, or it can be a painful experience depending on many different factors. I sat down with Beth Iovinelli today to discuss all things about breastfeeding, what to expect when things go awry, and how to best prepare. Beth is a Registered Nurse and Board Certified Lactation Consultant with nearly 28 years of experience in the field of maternal child health. She has worked as a labor and delivery nurse, postpartum nurse and patient educator in the hospital setting and as the coordinator of newborn services and lactation in a pediatric office. Beth is now the owner of Milk Street Lactation Support Center in East Norwalk, CT. Milk Street is a storefront, community based center that provides prenatal education and postpartum support and education. On today's episode we will walk you through how to prepare for breastfeeding, what to expect during the first few weeks, tips and tricks, and a discussion about milk undersupply and oversupply. In this episode we discuss: Why baby led latching is okay for breastfeeding. What prenatal hand expression is, and how it can be empowering and beneficial in your third trimester. Shallow latching and other common issues. The common myths about milk production. Saving your milk without preventing an oversupply. Common issues that occur while breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding is one of the most challenging parts of motherhood. When I became a first time mom, (I am embarrassed to admit this) I didn't even know what a nursing bra was and I didn't own one when he arrived!! That's how little I knew about breastfeeding and how much work it was going to take. Especially if you don't have someone there to guide you and help you understand what your baby needs when they: don't latch good your nipples are cracked and bleeding your baby won't stop crying you feel like you have low milk supply If you're a mom that has or is experiencing this, don't lose hope and don't let the next mom you encounter go through what you went through! If you're the one that finds yourself suddenly having graduated from maiden to mother and feel like you're losing yourself in the process don't hesitate to reach out! You are losing yourself, but in a good way. Motherhood makes all of us die to ourselves and come alive in a more selfless way. Do not give up. You're doing a great job!

Today Dr. Morgan McLeod, Asst. Professor of Pediatrics and Internal Medicine at UMMC, discusses breastfeeding and answers your questions with Marcy Talbot, Board Certified Lactation Consultant.

"Having a miscarriage and experiencing that with her (Jennifer's midwife) totally, just radically changed what that relationship should be like. You know, between a woman and her caregiver. And that solidified it. I mean if I wasn't sure if I wanted to have a midwife, or a home birth or birth center, that..... and my husband was really impressed too because......she really ministered to him during that time so that was important. And you don't think about that because you're grieving yourself. But she also prioritized him so that was special." Jennifer is a Board Certified Lactation Consultant, a family friend that has been there for me when I needed help with breastfeeding, and knowledgeable in so many areas when it comes to making decisions for your body and baby. She is very passionate about her work and wants to get to the root of things. Jennifer's perspective changed so radically about birth from her first child to her third child that she went from lying about her epidural wearing off to embracing an all natural home birth where pain meds weren't even an option. She gave birth to her first child when they were still giving episiotomies as though they were mandatory and despite her wishes of not wanting an episiotomy or Pitocin with her second child, she ended up being given both right after having the conversation with the OB. Oxytocin is a hormone that causes us to trust, become vulnerable and to become submissive (ok, not in a bad way ladies!) to those around us who are supposed to be taking care of us. You're not in a place to advocate for yourself due to oxytocin. Because of this natural hormone and the state of vulnerability women are in, there can be a breech of power from caregivers who want to speed up a process that is working just fine, even when the birthing mom says she's ok with longer labor and doesn't want the extra meds. I love how Jennifer explained oxytocin and its effects on women during labor. It has given me an even broader perspective on the vulnerable state women are in while bringing their child into the world. Find Jennifer on Facebook Connect with her on IG

With 60 years of combined experience between them, Michelle and Kathy Bradley, IBCLC discuss the key things for parents to consider when hiring a doula. Doulas provide non-medical educational and emotional support to birthing families. Doulas can help navigate information overload and differing opinions that expectant parents often face. Kathy and Michelle suggest exploring: What do I want for my birth experience and who is going to help me to get that? How do I want to give birth? Are there any fears (mine or others) that are influencing my decisions for my pregnancy and birth? What a doula is and isn't? (check out episode 117 with Kathy) What are my expectations for my birth when hiring a doula? What am I hoping a doula will do for us? How will hiring a doula impact my birth experience? Do I need more prenatal or postpartum visits or care?  Are these expectations realistic or unrealistic? List out ten things that are important to you for your baby's birth. Narrow it down to your top 5.  Some questions to ask when interviewing a doula: What's your philosophy of birth?What motivated you to get into this field? How long have you been practicing and where do you see yourself now? Do you feel comfortable in the location I will be giving birth in? Are you a solo practitioner or do you work as a team with another doula? What can I expect as far as the call schedule if you have a doula partner? Who is your back up? May I meet them beforehand? How often have you needed back up?What is your specialty, if any? What is your style of advocating for clients?  Ask yourself when interviewing: Is the doula addressing them my top 5 important things?Do I resonate with them? Do I feel peace of mind in their presence? About Kathy Bradley:Spanning a 30+ year career in the maternal health field, Kathy is the visionary behind Childbirth Concierge.

今天CC邀請到台灣第一批國際哺乳顧問之一的楊醫師，情人節這天請她跟我們分享她為什麼成為哺乳顧問，還有復健科對哺乳媽媽，能夠提供甚麼幫助呢?

In this podcast Linda & Jessica talk with Mariana Bigio, a Board Certified Lactation Consultant. As nursing moms we always hear lots of different myths about breastfeeding; can I drink caffeine? Can my baby still sleep through the night while I breastfeed? Mariana, also a nursing mom of 3 boys, helps us bring answers to these questions and more! Mariana is a Board Certified Lactation Consultant. She was born and raised in Venezuela and currently lives in Miami, Florida, together with her husband and her three little boys. She is the founder of Mamalactea, an organization dedicated to supporting families along their lactation journeys that go from pregnancy all the way to weaning. At her practice, she counts with a multidisciplinary team of professionals that work together to face breastfeeding challenges. Her private practice offers one-on-one consultations, prenatal breastfeeding classes, and support groups. She works every day to bring evidence-based information on lactation matters through her blog @Mamalactea. Mariana is a member of the Lactation Consultants Association (ILCA). She also holds a number of accreditations that reflect her interest in tongue-tie and oral restrictions. She's passionate about advocating for women's right to an extended and fair paid maternity leave and the assurance of their jobs. In 2020, she was invited to join a pediatric practice, one of the pioneers in South Florida to offer patient lactation care services. She enjoys spending time with her boys in outdoor activities and baking. You can find her at any of these places below: IG: @mamalactea mariana@mamalactea.com (786) 651-6673 https://www.mamalactea.com/

Join Christina and her extraordinary guest Abha Sharma as they discuss her personal journey into the world of movement. Abha is a Health and Wellness Coach for Professional Working Moms. Her passion is helping working moms glow up utilizing hormone health, and living a holistic lifestyle. She is a Paediatrician, Board Certified Lactation Consultant, and the host of The Health Has No Finish Line Podcast. This weekly podcast dives into subjects concerning: body image, emotional eating, mind-set, and healthier living. Learning what you are capable of Before sharing her story, Abha empathetically speaks to parents, especially mothers about the struggle that comes with parenting, and how sometimes they neglect to see their own abilities and strengths. She reminds listeners that they are capable of doing great things, whether it is taking care of their health, or even making time for themselves. Sharing when you're on the other side of the rainbow Both of Abha's parents emigrated from India, and she describes the pressure that comes with being a child with immigrant parents, where there s a need to work really hard, especially when it comes to your academics. Knowing that your parents or grandparents immigrated for better educational opportunities. Her mother cooked a variety of foods, with some being very carb heavy, so when she was younger, Abha dealt with fluctuating weight issues. By the time she was nine or 10 she got teased, and this continued through most of her childhood and teen years. She also wore a back brace for scoliosis, which excerbated things. “Okay, I can try this!” Steps towards Healing As she got older, Abha began to take charge of her life in a definitive way. She began to read health magazines, ripping recipes and workout tips from them that she could utilize in her day to day. She would go to Marshalls and find indoor workout VHS and DVD's. It became fun for her, and she felt comfortable working out this way because she didn't have to worry about anybody judging her. She was still triggered by what she had experienced on the playground when she was younger. Even the small change can make a big difference Abha was able to maintain her healthy in Detroit during her pediatric residency. Despite the long hours, Abha was able to balance her diet by making better food choices. Instead of Lean Cuisine with all the artificial preservatives, she traded those meals in for Trader Joe's bowl that had more whole ingredients and fewer preservatives. What 10,000 steps will really get you! Abha began to learn more about the benefits of walking and she learned that 10,000 steps was a marketing strategy that originated from Japan. A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that at 4400 steps per day, women had significantly lower mortality rates compared to least active women. If they did more, their mortality rates continued to drop until they reached about 7500 steps, at which point the rates levelled out. Changing the language around food Abha and her husband have made considerable efforts to change the language around food in their home. She is careful about using the words “Good food, or bad food,” around her daughter. If she is making non-restrictive changes in what she eats, she will just do it, but not explain it, especially when her daughter is around. She demonstrates balance by eating what she wants in moderation. CONTACT US Abha Sharma Instagram Matters of Movement Online Studio

In this replay episode, Michelle is incredibly honored to feature one of her mentors in the birth field, Kathy Bradley. With 50 years of combined experience between them, Michelle and Kathy discuss the ways that a doula can reduce stress and fear during the childbearing year. Kathy explains what a doula is, the history of the profession, and the continuity of care doulas provide. She stresses the importance of taking into consideration a doula's birth philosophy as it compares to your desires for your birth, as well as the value her years of experience can bring to you. Kathy shares a powerful technique to help release any negative and limiting beliefs someone may have regarding their ability to give birth. “There is so much fear and so much unrest. And I believe we are in process of women recognizing that through the ages somewhere our voice has been diminished. Our ability to believe in ourselves has been stolen. And so we are working to reclaim that we are powerful human beings. That we can choose powerfully. That we know what our body needs... Because our ability to believe in ourselves and our ability to give birth has been stolen from us. We are in the process of reclaiming that back.”  —Kathy Bradley About Kathy Bradley:Spanning a 30 year career in the maternal health field, Kathy is the visionary behind Childbirth Concierge.

Breastfeeding may be a natural process but it doesn't come naturally to all mothers and babies. That's why MarinHealth Medical Center offers breastfeeding education and assistance for new moms and their little ones.MarinHealth Medical Center's Anne Hauss Davies discusses the training she underwent to become a Board-Certified Lactation Consultant.

Michelle and Kathy Bradley, owner of Childbirth Concierge, discuss Kathy's upcoming book, "Creating a Positive Experience". Together they explore what the concept of a positive birth experience can mean, what shapes it, and how the process can begin even before the baby is conceived. "I really am hoping that people that read this book can feel empowered enough to trust their innate wisdom and what they need to do to process through and be able to just let go of anything that is shameful, whatever those cases may be. That they can feel good about the decisions that they're making for their birth."—Kathy Bradley  About Kathy Bradley, IBCLC:Spanning a 30-year career in the maternal health field, Kathy is the visionary behind Childbirth Concierge.

As COIVD-19 has taken our communities by storm, we've had the honor of bearing witness to women's strength, flexibility and generosity as they care for their families and communities. Within the swirl of news and so much changing day-to-day, our community of moms have shared their worries and important questions, like: Can I keep breastfeeding if I've been exposed to Coronavirus? What safety precautions do I need to take when pumping out of the home? How do I find time to feed with both a full family and a full load of work at home? To get answers, we sat down with friend and lactation consultant Kara Kaikini. Kara is the president of the Maine State Breastfeeding Coalition, a trusted breastfeeding educator at Maine Medical Center, and a really lovely mom to two.

Listen in as Michelle and Kathy Bradley explore the sources of fear and stress that can create doubts surrounding the ability to breastfeed our babies and trust ourselves as parents. They also discuss the importance of reducing the shame present in our culture regarding breastfeeding and the guilt a mother can feel if she needs to supplement, is unable to breastfeed, or decides to bottle and/or formula feed her baby. “We are getting the messages in our culture that breastfeeding is best, but it's not being modeled. So in an unconscious, non-verbal way we are getting two different messages that we are diabolically opposed.” —Kathy Bradley About Kathy Bradley: Spanning a 30 year career in the maternal health field, Kathy is the visionary behind Childbirth Concierge.
