Struggling with low milk supply can feel overwhelming, isolating, and confusing. In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker talks with midwife and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant Katie James to demystify the realities of low milk supply. Together, they explore the hormonal, medical, and systemic factors that can affect lactation, as well as the critical importance of early postpartum support. Katie shares how birth interventions, lack of education, and misinformation can interfere with lactation—and how reclaiming knowledge, honoring instinct, and receiving timely help can make all the difference.

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.

Send us a textWelcome to our second 'Breastfeeding Q&A' episode with Trisha & Cynthia. We open with an inspiring success story of a mother whose baby did not start breastfeeding for the first time until around five months of age. Additionally, we answer the following questions:I tried everything to increase my supply and stumped every lactation consultant I met with; is this going to happen to me again and what could have been the cause of my low milk supply?I have low milk supply and recurrent plugged ducts. My lactation consultant told me to pump after feeding but won't that increase my plugged ducts? How do I increase my supply and prevent plugged ducts?From a nurse: In my hospital, we teach moms that babies are sleepy in the first 24 hours and won't eat very much, but also we tell them to wake the baby every 2-3 hours to feed them so they don't get low blood sugar. Help! I feel like I am confusing mothers. Lastly, we answer quickies including: what are the best breastfeeding snacks, are nipple shields harmful, does milk supply drop in pregnancy, how do I increase milk supply on one side, how to prevent thrush, what's the best breast pump, and more!Listen here to the May 2024 Breastfeeding Q&AJaundice & Breastfeeding: When grouped by number of breastfeeds in the first 24 hours, exaggerated jaundice on day six occurred in:28% who breastfed 0-2 times24.5% of babies who breastfed 3-4 times15% of babies who breastfed 5-6 times12% of babies who breastfed 7-8 times0% of the babies who breastfed 9-11 times(Yamauchi and Yamanouchi, 1990)Thanks to everyone who called in!

In this episode, Lindsay discusses why nursing and lactation often fail in modern society. She explains that the high rate of complications in birth and low nursing rates can be attributed to the disruption of the natural mammalian biology of birth. Lindsay emphasizes the importance of immediate bonding and imprinting between Mother and baby after birth, and how this process is often disrupted in hospital settings. She highlights the permanent negative impact of separating Mothers and babies, and the need for a supportive and non-disruptive birthing environment to ensure successful nursing and milk supply.Key Takeaways:1. Nursing and lactation often fail due to the disruption of the natural mammalian biology of birth.2. Separating mothers and babies after birth disrupts the bonding and imprinting process, leading to low milk supply and difficulties with latching.3. Hospital settings and routine procedures in obstetrics contribute to the disruption of the natural birthing process.4. Mothers should advocate for a non-disruptive birthing environment and immediate bonding with their babies to ensure successful nursing and milk supply.Quotes: "The number one cause for low lactation rates, low milk supply, and low nursing rates is disruption." "If we disrupt the environment where we give birth and the people within that environment, we sabotage the imprinting process that is essential for successful nursing and milk supply." "Our nursing rates and lactation problems are a result of the disruption caused by hospital birth and the lack of support for the natural mammalian biology of birth."

We are kicking off this first episode discussing Pitocin and how that affects Mothers and babies during labor, birth, and even afterwards. Often when Pitocin is administered to induce or augment labor, women are not fully informed on the risks associated.In this first episode, we cover:• how oxytocin and pitocin relate to one another• the difference between pitocin and oxytocin• the relationship between oxytocin and adrenaline• the affects of pitocin on a laboring uterus•the affects of pitocin on a baby during labor• the affects of pitocin after birth• the relationship between pitocin and postpartum hemorrhage• the affects of pitocin on lactation and nursingSomehow all other mammal species birth babies every single day without the use of Pitocin. Humans are mammal and we are designed to birth as mammals. Questions?Looking for further support during pregnancy?Reach out at join@birthlikeamammal.com for birth support and other resources.

In this episode of the Birth Like a Mammal podcast, Lindsay discusses the responsibility of Mothers during birth, specifically focusing on the choice between home birth and hospital birth. She emphasizes that the debate between the two options is unnecessary and unproductive, as it ultimately comes down to personal responsibility and where the mother feels most comfortable placing that personal responsibility. Lindsay shares her own experience of choosing home birth to maintain control and personal responsibility over her birth process. She highlights the importance of feeling safe and comfortable during birth and the lifelong impact of taking or handing over personal responsibility.Key Takeaways:1. The debate between home birth and hospital birth is ultimately about personal responsibility and where the Mother feels most comfortable.2. Handing over personal responsibility during birth can lead to disempowerment and trauma, while maintaining personal responsibility can result in confidence and empowerment.3. Birthing like a mammal means believing in your innate ability to give birth without outsourcing or doubting the process.Quotes:"Humans are mammals and we are designed to birth like mammals." "The idea that we would debate that there's only one way or one place or one person to have there and only one way to do this is absurd.""The power and confidence that comes from keeping your authority and autonomy during birth is lifelong."

Mom fatigue is something I see in my patients and practice all the time. In this episode I discuss the top three things you can do if you feel endlessly exhausted. The first thing I do when I see a patient who is lacking energy is an energy assessment. Tune in to hear the actual questions I ask my patients and the most common responses I get.Distinguishing the difference between fatigue and tiredness is important. I discuss how to tell the difference and recommend some questions to ask yourself if you are struggling to determine where you're at. I discuss the biggest cause of fatigue in women that is often not talked about and that is sleep apnea. I explain who is at higher risk for this and what to do if you think you might be suffering.Iron deficiency is a major cause of fatigue in women. I discuss what the common symptoms are of iron deficiency and the proper way to supplement iron in order to get the results that you want. Thyroid dysfunction is another reason you may be feeling tired.
