Podcasts about Breastfeeding

Breast Pump Ban: It may sound like a headline from another era — but it happened to Dr Elise Turner this week in Melbourne when the mum of twins was told to leave an airport lounge for daring to express milk for her babies. But there’s one crucial detail that most of us missed and which Mia, Jessie and Amelia needed to dig deep into on today's show. And, an update on Bruce Willis’ condition from his wife in her confronting new memoir that hits home for anyone touched by dementia. Jessie shares her personal experience and unpacks the backlash Emma Heming Willis is getting online for the decisions she's making on behalf of her celebrity husband. Plus, Births, Deaths & Marriages. Mia’s got a new segment and a lot to say. From celebrity babies to red carpet chaos, she’s tying it all together… loosely, but entertainingly. Is it an excuse to (scurrilously) gossip about celebrities? Absolutely it is. Does she seamlessly segue into a controversial red carpet analysis? Of course she does. We also cover Trump: The Dibber Dobber and the 17 household habits that will clear mental clutter as much as they will your kitchen bench tops. Light and shade, friends. Light and shade.

 In this episode, Stef and I sit down with Ryan Woodbury, co-founder of Needed, to unpack what most women aren't being told about nutrition for fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum. We discuss what's missing from standard prenatals, why nutrient needs skyrocket (and stay elevated) long after birth, and how to actually support your body through each phase. If you've ever wondered whether your supplement is doing anything—or why you still feel depleted postpartum—this one's for you. Timestamps:[1:52] Intro [4:08] Welcome [7:44] Can you talk to me about Choline and other specific nutrients that may be missing from common prenatal supplements?[11:48] Is there a sense in which we have to double nutritional needs if we want mom and baby to be healthy?[15:27] How does this impact age? [25:54] Do you think most prenatal vitamins on the market are actually meeting the needs?[38:09] Talk to me about other key nutrients you wish every women would focus more on during pregnancy.[40:46] What is the ideal protein range for pregnancy and do protein needs go up?[43:27] What are we focusing on postpartum and how long should we be taking the prenatal?  How can we manage stress and stay nutritionally sufficient in stress?[50:15] So I need to be tracking my macros during pregnancy? [55:03] Is collagen safe in pregnancy?[55:43] How long does it take the to bring the body back to optimal nutrient stores postpartum?[57:10] I'm curious about nutrient testing: is it worth it to do while nursing?[1:05:01] Anything that can help with hair growth after postpartum hair loss?Episode Links:Go to https://thisisneeded.com/  and use coupon code WELLFED for 20% off your first order.Sponsors:Go to wellminerals.us/chill and use code WELLFED to get 10% off your order.Go to boncharge.com/WELLFED and use coupon code WELLFED to save 15% off any order.Go to http://mdlogichealth.com/whey-protein, and use coupon code WELLFED for 10% off.

In this episode, we're talking about how to approach a redemptive breastfeeding journey—one where you feel prepared, supported, and confident. We'll cover common challenges that make breastfeeding harder than it needs to be, practical steps you can take to set yourself up for success next time, and the one often-overlooked factor that can make all the difference in your lactation experience.

In this episode, we dive into the often-overlooked role of men in the birthing process and the profound rite of passage it represents for fathers, mothers, and children alike. We explore how devotion, presence, and embodied masculinity can transform not only the birth experience but the entire foundation of family life. From challenging the medicalized narratives that strip away natural sovereignty, to honoring birth as a spiritual initiation that shapes identity, resilience, and connection, this conversation is a call for men to reclaim their rightful place as protectors, anchors, and conscious participants in one of life's most powerful thresholds.Time Stamps (00:00) Episode Teaser(00:39) Intro(06:26) Simon Esler's Personal Journey and Creative Pursuits(18:53) Navigating Sociopolitical Differences in the Arts(29:32) The Role of Masculinity in Birth and Pregnancy(42:18) Success Stories of Alternative Medicine(45:02) The Role of Fathers in Birth and Family(47:33) The Rite of Passage in Birth(49:51) Impact of C-Sections on Birth Experience(52:06) Challenges and Pressures in Modern Birth Practices(57:41) Breastfeeding and the Family Unit(01:03:14) Fatherhood and Devotion(01:15:43) Balancing Work and Family as a Father(01:23:18) Balancing Chaos and Parenting(01:24:07) Understanding Human Design in Family Dynamics(01:26:58) The Importance of Devotion and Presence(01:30:17) The Transformative Power of Birth for Men(01:36:06) Navigating Birth Experiences and Medical Systems(01:43:46) Reclaiming Birth and Cultural Conditioning(01:48:55) The Reclaiming Birth Conference(01:53:44) Final Reflections and Community EngagementGuest Linkshttps://www.simonesler.com/ https://www.reclaimingbirthconference.com/simon-esler (use code SIMON15 for 15% off your ticket)https://www.instagram.com/simon_esler1111/ Previous episodes with SimonConnect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links

Most states in the U.S. have laws that protect breastfeeding mothers, allowing them to nurse their babies in public. But that doesn't mean the laws are always upheld and the result can be devastating to a mom who simply needs to feed her baby. Organizing a nurse-in is one way to raise awareness about these discrepancies and to encourage change. So, what exactly happens during a nurse-in? How are they organized? And do they really make a difference? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're looking back on our first year as parents (Tate is 1 in T-1 week!!!). From the best and hardest moments to the products we swear by (and the ones we regret buying), we're breaking down everything we've learned over the past 12 months. Plus, we get into food under one year old, the advice we wish we had about breastfeeding and pumping (PS im officially done!!!!) , and what helped us thrive year one as a couple. And of course, the fun stuff: in Things We DMed - a high school's “Rejection Therapy” assignment (yes, kids literally asking to do the chicken dance for free food) and the frat prank that convinced a pledge he won the $1.8 billion Powerball (best prank ever or is this just mean??). And in This Week We Learned: “placebo sleep” is actually a thing… and it might change the way you think about a bad night's sleep. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!

It is common for partners to have different opinions about pregnancy, birth, or parenting. These differences can create tension, especially when decisions need to be made. As doulas, we play a vital role in navigating these situations with professionalism and care. It is important that we equip ourselves with strategies to support both individuals without taking sides. We can more effectively help them communicate by asking questions that invite open communication and help uncover the underlying values or fears behind each perspective. Understanding where each person is coming from creates space for empathy and problem-solving. Guiding partners toward common ground by encouraging collaboration and fostering mutual respect is critical. By remaining neutral and supportive, doulas can help families approach these challenges as a team rather than opponents. Join us for a practical conversation on how to maintain balance, build trust, and support healthy communication when clients and their partners see things differently.

In this rerun of the Midwifery Wisdom Podcast, Augustine sits down with Elke and Charlotte to tackle a timely question: how does technology help—or hinder—midwifery practice? From cybersecurity risks and data privacy to the practical tools shaping daily care, the conversation dives deep into both the promises and pitfalls of modern tech.You'll hear candid stories about electronic charting, breaches, and the financial risks small practices face, balanced with a hopeful look at innovations like handheld ultrasounds, continuous glucose monitors, and integrated lab tools. The trio also explores how midwives can harness social media and AI—like ChatGPT—to expand influence, streamline documentation, and amplify their voices in a system that too often silences them.Whether you're tech-curious, tech-cautious, or somewhere in between, this discussion reminds us that while technology can never replace the human essence of midwifery, it can support us in practicing more safely, efficiently, and visibly.Interested in learning more? Augustine will be teaching a course on AI and Midwives at this year's WARM conference. Sign up on our website www.midwiferywisdom.com

Send us a textWhat does it really mean to be a "selfish mom"? In this raw and candid episode, I open up about my recent Hashimoto's diagnosis and why it's become my wake-up call to prioritize my health again. After years of putting everyone else first, I'm embarking on a 30-day journey eliminating gluten, dairy, and sugar—not from a place of restriction, but with the hope of reclaiming my energy and feeling like myself again.Many of you have noticed my recent weight changes and asked if I'm using GLP-1s. The answer is no, but I share my honest thoughts on weight loss aids and why sustainable habits matter more than quick fixes. I also tackle the uncomfortable truth that losing weight doesn't automatically make you content with your body—something I've learned firsthand after losing over 50 pounds.The reality of life with three boys ages 11, 7, and 2 isn't always Instagram-perfect. I confess to moments of disassociation, feeling overstimulated, and sometimes sitting in my car before entering the house just to catch my breath. These aren't failures—they're necessary adaptations when you're stretched thin. The secret isn't doing it all perfectly; it's getting back in the driver's seat of your life rather than letting life happen to you.For those struggling to find themselves amid the chaos of motherhood, I'm launching a six-week Selfish Mom Method coaching program designed to help you prioritize your mental and physical health while creating sustainable routines. Because here's what I've learned: taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it's the foundation that allows you to show up fully for everyone else.Ready to redefine what being "selfish" really means? This conversation might be exactly what you need to hear.Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Ireland has one of the lowest breastfeeding rates among high-income countries, influenced by social, cultural, and systemic factors. Around 60% breast feed early on but this drops to around 40% within 3 months and plummets to less than 10% at 6 months. How breast feeding provides significant benefits to the baby's immune system. All to discuss with Professor Luke O Neill , Professor of Biochemistry at the school of Immunology, Trinity College.

Toni shares her personal journey from an unexpected C-section to uncovering how birth methods, antibiotics, and feeding choices shape immunity, metabolism, and risk of chronic disease over our lifetime.Key Points Discussed Include:Why vaginal birth, skin-to-skin contact, and early exclusive breastfeeding are the gold standard for seeding a healthy microbiome;How C-section birth changes microbial exposure—introducing hospital and staff microbes instead of the mother's;Why even a single bottle of formula can shift the gut microbiome, and how exclusive breastfeeding and skin-to-skin can help restore balance;The fascinating recent research about vaginal seeding during C-sections...is it actually effective?The impact of newborn exposure to maternal gut microbes at birth;How the microbiome begins to “lock in” by age 2–3, and ways to keep building resilience through early childhood.Buckle up for some mind-blowing ideas in this episode!

OSU Professor David Rothwell, MSW, PhD, joins the Exchange.

This week, we're revisiting a Season 3 episode of the Midwifery Wisdom Podcast with Aubre Tompkins, CNM and author of Midwifery for Expectant Parents. At the time of recording, Aubre was Director of Midwifery at Seasons Midwifery and Birth Centre and President of the American Association of Birth Centers where she now continues to serve on the Executive Committee.Augustine and Aubre unpack the dangers of pregnancy in the U.S.—especially for BIPOC communities—revealing how poor outcomes stem from the hospital-based, physician-led system rather than midwifery care. Yet, the for-profit model of healthcare continues to suppress the most obvious solutions. This conversation, as urgent today as ever, is also a call to action—for midwives and consumers alike—to raise their voices and demand meaningful change in U.S. healthcare.Keep the conversation going on skool.com/midwiferywisdom

Breastfeeding can be an important part of a baby's health and development. But what about families who are affected by substance use disorder?  this episode, a partnership with Project CARA, Dr. Amy Marietta, MD, Family Medicine and Olivia Caron, Pharmacist Practitioner, and Georganna Cogburn IBCLC, will talk about how to support lactation and infant feeding in patients who use substances or are being treated for SUDs.  Using the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine guidelines as a key resource, they will discuss the latest findings and what they mean in the real world of infant feeding.

In this episode of Empowering NICU Parents' Podcast, Elisa Doherty and Lisa Kleinz share practical strategies that care teams can use to promote breastfeeding during the “breastfeeding window”—along with ideas any hospital can adopt to better support families, even if they have not implemented  the Infant-Driven Feeding™ (IDF) Program.We then explore the powerful role of the Infant-Driven Feeding™ (IDF) Program in supporting breastfeeding and empowering families in the NICU. We discuss new research that demonstrated how a hospital system that has implemented IDF™ not only improved breastfeeding success rates in the NICU, but they also had an increase in sustained breastfeeding rates after discharge.Elisa also reflects on the lessons learned and the rewards of building a successful feeding clinic, offering inspiration for other clinicians who may want to create something similar in their own communities.This episode is filled with practical strategies and heartfelt perspectives from clinicians dedicated to providing a holistic, family-centered approach to infant feeding—making it an essential listen for both NICU parents and clinicians committed to empowering families and improving outcomes.Dr. Brown's Medical: https://www.drbrownsmedical.com  The Infant-Driven Feeding™ (IDF) Program: https://www.infantdrivenfeeding.com/Our NICU Roadmap: A Comprehensive NICU Journal: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicujournal/  NICU Mama Hats: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/hats/  NICU Milestone Cards: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicuproducts/  Newborn Holiday Cards: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shop/  Empowering NICU Parents Show Notes: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shownotes/  Episode 73 Show Notes: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/episode73  Empowering NICU Parents Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/empoweringnicuparents/  Empowering NICU Parents FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringnicuparents  Pinterest Page: https://pin.it/36MJjmH

Meal planning and preparation services can enhance the doula support options you provide to clients. However, doulas must consider regulations, logistics, and business implications before jumping in. Understanding the difference between meal planning and meal preparation is essential. Each service offers unique benefits for families. It is critical to understand the local cottage food laws and regulations in your community. These rules directly affect how and where meals can be prepared. It is also important to weigh the pros and cons of preparing meals in a client's home versus preparing them in your own when legality is not a factor in this decision. Tax implications, such as transaction privilege tax, are another factor to consider. These details can significantly impact the pricing and profitability of the meal services you offer. Join us for a practical conversation that explores opportunities, responsibilities, and business realities when offering meal planning and prep services.

Send us a textFor two decades, Rachel Gebhardt has navigated the complex terrain of Crohn's disease with a refreshing perspective shaped by her father's experience with the same condition. Where her father let illness define him, Rachel chose a different path—one filled with humor, openness, and resilience—despite her case being more medically severe.Rachel's journey encompasses four bowel surgeries and fourteen hospital admissions since 2020 alone, including a colostomy she affectionately named "Whoopie." With disarming candor, she shares the moment her surgeon showed her a photo of a woman in an American flag bikini with a matching ostomy bag cover as encouragement—a moment that eventually inspired her own celebratory beachside photo years later. Through skin infections, bowel obstructions, and dietary restrictions, Rachel maintains her commitment to living fully and modeling positive coping for her children.The military healthcare system presented unique challenges, but also connected Rachel with Dr. Anish Patel at Brook Army Medical Center, who became not just her gastroenterologist but her advocate and ally. Their relationship exemplifies the profound difference compassionate, specialized care makes for patients with complex conditions. Rachel details her experience with hyperbaric treatments, medication complications, and the surprising remission she experienced only during pregnancy and breastfeeding—highlighting the understudied connection between hormones and IBD.What resonates most deeply is Rachel's transformation from initially viewing her ostomy as "the end of the world" to embracing it as a source of freedom. Now training for a half marathon and hiking mountains previously inaccessible when bathroom urgency controlled her life, she's become an outspoken advocate for ostomy awareness. Her message is clear and powerful: life with an ostomy can be not just manageable, but genuinely good—a perspective desperately needed by those facing similar paths. For anyone navigating IBD or supporting someone who is, Rachel's story offers both practical wisdom and heartening hope.Links: United Ostomy AssociationOur episode with Dr. Anish PatelPregnancy and Crohn's - video from Brigham & Women's IBD CenterPregnancy & Breastfeeding info- Crohn's Colitis UKLet's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're diving into power dynamics in relationships (we call them power points - Jules thought we were talking about Microsoft LMAO), weaning from breastfeeding (T-4 weeks), and what it's like parenting near family (spoiler alert: we're sleeping!!)  Before all that - Air Canada flight attendants were striking (yes, we're still in Vancouver), and we've got some updated Canada recs for your next trip (don't worry, no chains this time… maybe). Then get into the whole process of weaning from breastfeeding/pumping (and if it's the final frontier to feel like yourself again postpartum).  Plus: the age-old stain debate (are you a blotter or a rubber?), Skechers made a shoe with a secret AirTag pocket (actually kind of genius - but the internet is mad), a Ryanair flight meltdown over a crying baby, and the kids' product that somehow reinvented the landline.

In this honest and compassionate episode, Dr. Mona sits down with lactation counselor and mom of two Kaia Lacey to talk about low milk supply, combo feeding, and the emotional weight of unrealistic feeding expectations.

Send us a textDoulas play a critical role in supporting women through childbirth—but their work is anything but easy, and their work isn't for the faint of heart. Many face disrespect from providers and routinely witness coercion, misinformation, and violations of informed consent. Even with their deep commitment to the women they serve, doulas often feel powerless in the face of hospital systems driven by profit and control. Still, many doulas are called to this work—and despite everything, they continue with resilience, purpose, and unwavering commitment.Doulas are indispensable. The evidence is clear: When a doula is present, C-section rates drop -- as do all other routine interventions. Physiologic birth is more likely. Breastfeeding is more successful. And most important, mothers walk away feeling more satisfied and supported. Doulas are, and always have been, the original birth keepers. Their presence makes birth safer, more humane, and more aligned with what women actually want and need.In today's episode, we hear directly from doulas about what they're up against—and why, despite it all, they keep showing up. We also share our reflections on what it means to support doulas as they continue this vital work.**********Our sponsors:Postpartum Soothe -- Herbs and padsicles to heal and comfort.Needed -- Our favorite nutritional products for before, during, and after pregnancy.
