Podcasts about breastfeeding support

If you have been told to stop breastfeeding because your baby is experiencing eczema, reflux, colic, or digestive struggles, this episode is for you. We are breaking the cycle of blame and reclaiming the truth. Your body is not broken. Your milk is not the problem. And if your supply is low? This episode will change everything for you.In this powerful episode, I share why challenges during breastfeeding are not a reason to stop but an invitation to heal. You will learn how gut health, nutrient absorption, and inflammation affect milk supply and your baby's symptoms. I will teach you about how rebalancing is not only beautiful while breastfeeding, but essential for healing both you and your baby from the inside out.If you are ready to understand the real story your body and your baby are telling you, and to step into a new level of independent health and trust in your healing journey, this conversation will show you the path forward.Thanks for listening!

Hi friend, I'm Christine, an IBCLC in California. Here, on my Substack, I share what I've picked up over my 23+ years working and volunteering in lactation care & support. I write and record a podcast about my personal stories of motherhood, my professional insights from teaching and coaching hundreds of aspiring and current lactation care providers, and things I think can help you on your journey to making breastfeeding and lactation better for others. Come on in, sit a while and read or listen, and join me in musing about how we can change the world a little bit at a time. It's better when we do this work together.There's no substitute for learning about breastfeeding and lactation in a peer breastfeeding support group.Facts and knowledge are critical.Clinical experience one-on-one is critical.A background in another health discipline can make a great entry point, though not necessary.But if you've never sat in a breastfeeding peer support group, listening and observing, all of those things aren't fully integrated. If you don't know the people in your own community who support your patients and clients AFTER they get lactation support from you, you're missing a crucial piece of information.You don't know what you're missing. Take a listen to this episode to hear more about why this learning opportunity is not to be missed by anyone who is entering the field, new to the field, or needing a refresher after years in the field.

Women in Clare who experience difficulties around breastfeeding are being reminded of the supports available to them this week. National Breastfeeding Week kicks off tomorrow and a number of events will be held throughout the country under the theme of "supporting you from bump to baby and beyond". As of 2022, only 44% of Irish babies were fed breastmilk exclusively once they left maternity services and UNICEF has warned that this is "far behind" other developed countries during the first six months of a child's life. Clare resident and National Breastfeeding Coordinator for the HSE Laura McHugh says although certain women face particular obstacles, there are services that they can access within this county.

Janet Jones and Lauren Reyes, IBCLCs and co-founders of Breastfeeding Success, join us to talk about how breastfeeding support has evolved and changed over time. We talk about the ancestral practices and how they differ from modern practices. Breastfeeding Success is a minority and woman owned company established in 2014 with the mission to provide access to high quality lactation care and education to all families regardless of income or insurance. Because of this mission, they never turn any family away. In 2023, close to 50% of the service they provided was uncompensated care. They are the largest provider of lactation services and employer of IBCLCs in the state of Texas with services spanning from Dallas/Fort Worth to Kyle Texas. On average, they serve 4,000 families each month with compassionate, evidence based, patient-centered care. JANET JONES, IBCLC, RLCCo-CEO, Chief Culture OfficerAn International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) since 2009, Janet is a former Breastfeeding Peer Counselor and Women Infants Children (WIC) participant. She cares deeply about equitable access to lactation care, and strives to remove barriers to lactation care — both for families who need it and for a diverse field of individuals who feel called to provide it. Janet serves the International Lactation Consultant Association (ILCA) as Treasurer, and has four breastfed children. She enjoys nurturing all sorts of growing things, from families and babies to her backyard garden and sourdough starter. LAUREN REYES, IBCLC, RLCCo-CEO, Chief Innovation Officer Lauren has been in the lactation field since 2004 and an IBCLC since 2009. Proud to have started her career as a WIC Breastfeeding Peer Counselor, Lauren believes that the lactation profession is strongest when providers reflect diverse education and demographic backgrounds. Lauren is a past board member of United States Lactation Consultants Association (USLCA) and a breastfed breastfeeder of five beautiful sons. On weekends, you'll find Lauren driving kids around Central Texas, training for her next half-marathon, and learning about new tools for her various home improvement projects. Website: www.BFSuccess.comHotline 512-8080-BFS (237) This episode is sponsored by Cheryl Reeley, LCSW.

Today on the Milk Minute we wanted to give a nod to all of our breastfeeding friends who are dating and doing their best to find a balance as a single parent. This shit ain't easy and no one is talking about it. Heather became a single parent when her first child was 10 months old and he had self-weaned. However, dating with an infant was extremely challenging. Add breastfeeding onto that and it's a whole new level. We wanted to read some stories of brave listeners who dated and lactated at the same time and give you a glimpse into that world. Enjoy!This concludes our season of Milk Minute Podcast.
