Podcasts about Breastfeeding

Although your newborn is hard-wired to breastfeed, breastfeeding doesn't always come naturally or go perfectly from the start. In reality, breastfeeding can take practice and patience as you and your baby navigate your nursing relationship. Many challenges can arise in the first few days and even months into your breastfeeding journey. The more you know about potential speed bumps, the better prepared you will be to address minor issues before they turn into bigger problems. Issues can include symptoms in your breasts like leaking, sore nipples, nipple shields, pain during breastfeeding or pumping, vasospasms, blebs, plugged ducts, mastitis, and engorgement. Or issues that affect your baby like jaundice, tongue-tie, thrush, food allergies or sensitivities, nursing strikes, cluster feeding, growth spurts, and spitting up. This episode will help you learn how to recognize and troubleshoot common breastfeeding challenges to make feeding your baby a more comfortable and successful experience.

In this episode Nancy and Barbara discuss the latest findings on relacation and induced lactation. According to University of Western Australia's LactaPedia, an online comprehensive glossary of human lactation terms freely available to professionals and parents (https://lactapedia.com/lactapedia-site/homee), relactation is defined as the re-establishment of lactation after the immediate post-birth period. This restricts relactation only to… The post All Things Breastfeeding Episode 98: Relactation and Induced Lactation appeared first on The Breastfeeding Center of Ann Arbor.

You may think that postpartum depression covers all aspects of perinatal mental health issues that new mothers face. The fact is that there are other kinds of mood changes, some that are talked about and some that are relatively unknown and uncommon. Today's show focuses on one specific problem that some mothers experience: it's called D-Mer, which stands for Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex.  Heidi Koss, MA, LMHC, is a psychotherapist in private practice in Redmond, WA. She specializes in perinatal (pregnancy and postpartum) mood disorders, birth trauma, sexual abuse, and parent adjustment issues. Heidi has been the WA State Coordinator for Postpartum Support International ⁠www.postpartum.net⁠, and has volunteered for over 20 years with Perinatal Support Washington ⁠www.perinatalsupport.org⁠. She served as past board member for PATTCh – the Prevention and Treatment of Traumatic Childbirth, ⁠www.pattch.org⁠. Heidi is active leading trainings for clinicians on appropriate assessment and treatment options for perinatal mood disorders and birth trauma. She leads monthly clinical consult groups mentoring mental health care providers to develop their competency and expertise in perinatal mental health issues.  Heidi was a co-founder of the Northwest Association for Postpartum Support (NAPS, ⁠www.napsdoulas.com⁠) a postpartum doula organization as well as the recipient of the Doulas of North America (DONA) Penny Simkin Doula Spirit and Mentorship Award. Prior to her psychotherapy career, Heidi was a Postpartum Doula and Certified Lactation Educator for 12 years.  Show Highlights: Heidi's work as a mother and perinatal mental health therapist and lactation educator: ”Helping moms with mind, body, and breast” Why D-Mer is not often talked about and often misunderstood What D-Mer is: Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex. It occurs when milk onset/letdown happens and lasts a few seconds or minutes D-Mer is a strange emotional phenomenon with negative emotions of sadness, dread, despair, nervousness, anxiety, and irritability D-Mer can be severe, with fleeting suicidal thoughts and urges for self-harm The biochemical connection is with two hormones, dopamine and oxytocin, in which they “go rogue,” misfire, or become overactive No studies have shown who is more predisposed to experience D-Mer For some women, D-Mer symptoms ease as the baby ages, but some have no change until weaning D-Mer symptoms might be harder to treat and control in women who already have a diagnosed anxiety or depression disorder What D-Mer is NOT: nausea, postpartum depression, anxiety, breastfeeding aversion---”It's NOT the mom's fault.” The best treatment is to educate women about D-Mer How some women can “talk themselves through” D-Mer episodes Ideas for easing symptoms include rewiring the stress hormones, making positive associations with breastfeeding, and positive touch (massage) General good habits for life will ease D-Mer symptoms, like mindfulness, meditation, good sleep and self-care, reduced stress, and managing blood sugar fluctuations To target dopamine, nursing locations should be aesthetically pleasing to make a pleasant mental and physical experience for the mother Some women find D-Mer intolerable and decide to wean, while some can deal with the symptoms and continue to breastfeed Wellbutrin works for some women to ease the symptoms How to find support: Find a lactation consultant and pursue therapy with a perinatal mental health therapist  Resources: ⁠www.d-mer.org⁠ ⁠www.heidikoss.com⁠ Email Heidi: ⁠heidi@heidikoss.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Breastfeeding is so often portrayed as natural and instinctive but for many mothers, the reality is far more complex and painful. That's according to Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett, Author and Journalist who spoke to Newstalk Breakfast.

Think your pediatrician has all the breastfeeding answers? The truth is, most don't and that's not a knock on them. It's a reflection of the limited lactation training in pediatric residency.

Together, we unpack the myths, the mental load, and the real deal about breastfeeding support that parents deserve but don't always get in those early days. We talk about: Why pediatricians often give confusing (or just plain wrong) advice around lactation How the term “nipple confusion” creates shame instead of support and what's really going on with flow preference How pumping, pacifiers, and supplementation can all fit into a successful feeding planWhy protecting a parent's mental health is just as important as protecting their milk supply To connect with Dr. Lauren Hughes follow her on Instagram @bloomdcp and check out all her resources at https://www.drlaurenhughes.com/ We'd like to know who is listening!

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 8-31-2025: Dr. Dawn interviews Katherine Rockwood and Jess Stevens, both registered nurses and breastfeeding advocates, during International Breastfeeding Month. They discuss community events including breastfeeding cupcakes at hospitals, partnerships with WIC (Women, Infants & Children) nutrition programs, and upcoming festivals featuring educational booths from various healthcare organizations. The conversation covers how these events aim to normalize breastfeeding and provide support resources for new mothers. The discussion explores milk donation programs, with Jess explaining her experience as a milk donor after becoming an "overproducer." They detail the screening process involving health questionnaires, blood tests, and milk quality checks before donation. The conversation addresses the high cost of donor milk at approximately $30 per ounce and insurance challenges, highlighting cases where fundraising helped provide donor milk for babies whose mothers couldn't breastfeed due to medical conditions like cancer. Dr. Dawn comments that breastfeeding a baby is like giving them a $100.00 restaurant meal daily. Katherine and Jess explain the superior benefits of breast milk over formula, particularly for premature babies who face risks like necrotizing enterocolitis from formula feeding. They discuss how the mother's breast milk composition automatically adjusts it's content for premature infants and how there is a 28-day window for establishing milk supply that affects long-term breastfeeding success. The nurses describe their support programs, including Katherine's "Baby Talk" group meetings where experienced mothers help newcomers learn breastfeeding techniques. They explain how group settings provide encouragement and demonstrate proper latching through observation and imitation. The discussion includes practical tips like playing jazz music and creating calm environments to facilitate milk letdown, drawing from Katherine's background in jazz clubs. Dr. Dawn explores the science behind breast milk, including human milk oligosaccharides that feed beneficial gut bacteria and establish healthy microbiomes. The conversation covers how breast milk changes throughout the day, with higher melatonin levels in evening milk, and how the antibody percentage composition shifts when babies are sick. Amazingly, breast milk becomes more yellow in color due to increased antibodies. They discuss how milk adapts for different aged children and even changes caloric content based on baby's gender with males receiving 25% more calories. The discussion addresses workplace and societal challenges for breastfeeding mothers, including the need for proper lactation rooms and supportive employers. They mention legal requirements for lactation spaces in California government buildings and the particular challenges faced by agricultural workers who lack adequate facilities. The conversation emphasizes the importance of community support and reducing guilt for mothers who cannot breastfeed. Dr. Dawn then shares statistics showing increasing breastfeeding rates, with 83.8% of babies receiving some breast milk and 25% exclusively breastfed for six months. The discussion covers additional maternal benefits including reduced breast cancer risk through complete breast tissue maturation, improved bone health through enhanced calcium absorption during breastfeeding, and natural birth control effects. They conclude by encouraging any amount of breastfeeding while supporting mothers who cannot breastfeed for various reasons.

Working with clients who hold status, whether they are medical providers, influencers, politicians, or public figures, can present unique opportunities and challenges for doulas. Supporting high-visibility clients while maintaining the same standards of care, boundaries, and intent you offer every other family may not come as easily as you think. While there are potential benefits of these connections, there can also be stumbling blocks. It can be tempting to hope for public praise or referrals from influencers, but doulas must not bank on that exposure or let it influence their role. Confidentiality is non-negotiable, and these clients deserve the same privacy, respect, and space to be vulnerable without fear of judgment. Join us for a candid and professional conversation about supporting clients with influence, while staying grounded in ethics, integrity, and the heart of doula work.

Thinking about trying Ozempic, Wegovy, or Monjaro? You're not alone. In this episode, Brooke unpacks the pros, cons, and common misconceptions around semaglutide medications for postpartum moms. If you're navigating weight loss, breastfeeding, or just trying to feel like yourself again—this one's a must-listen. What to Listen For: Why semaglutides like Ozempic are not safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding The hormonal impact of semaglutides and why that matters for moms What happens when you stop taking semaglutides without making lifestyle changes Real talk on the side effects—nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and more Why some moms regret weaning early just to lose weight What blood sugar imbalance means and how to fix it without meds When Brooke might recommend a semaglutide—and when she wouldn't The link between protein, blood sugar, and milk supply How semaglutides may decrease milk supply by affecting prolactin and oxytocin Why slow, sustainable weight loss preserves muscle (and feels better) Semaglutides can seem like a quick fix—but for most postpartum or breastfeeding moms, they're more risk than reward. Brooke encourages moms to first nourish their bodies with real food, movement, and sustainable changes. Medications may have a time and place, but not at the expense of your hormones, energy, or milk supply. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day, and getting it right can make a huge difference in your energy, mood, and overall health postpartum.
