breast milk

Breast is best. We've all heard it, now let's talk about it. Today the Milk Minute is honored to have Victoria Facelli, author of "Feed the Baby: an inclusive guide to nursing, bottle feeding, and everything in between" on the show to discuss her incredible book. This is the kind of book that Heather and Maureen have dreamed of writing and is the perfect step-by-step guide to feeding your baby, complete with illustrations and videos. 

Victoria Facelli is an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant, but not the kind that hates formula. She wrote this book to cut through a lot of the misinformation that parents are faced with, as a resource to empower parents to feed their babies in whatever way works for them!

Breastfeeding in the first 3 days postpartum can be both challenging and magical. It's normal for mothers to face difficulties in the initial days, but important to recognize and appreciate the progress you're making in your breastfeeding journey. Even when you’re doing everything right it can feel like it’s not working or it’s going wrong. Maureen and Heather are here to make you feel better and give you some guidelines and key indicators that you are in fact…crushing it.

We are still on a break and wanted to revisit this popular topic. Popping on and off the breast is one of the biggest problems we see in lactation and we're here to help. P.S. - If you want to hear Heather's birth story and every other week of Beyond the Boob there’s still time to subscribe on Apple Podcasts or on our Patreon at www.patreon.com/milkminutepodcast!

One of the most common breastfeeding problems is when baby just won’t stay latched! Popping on and off through feeds is frustrating for both parent and baby. Today we chat about how we manage this issue in consultation and what some possible causes and solutions are.  This problem is complex, but your friends at the Milk Minute are here to help!

Y’all know we can tell a good story, and this is one birth story you need to hear. So head on over to Apple or www.patreon.com/milkminutepodcast and sign up today!

WE MADE IT TO TERM! Welcome to week 37!

Our episode today goes through a lot of feels. Heather digs deep into a lot of her fears around meeting her new baby and surviving the postpartum. We're embracing the reality that hope and fear can exist equally in the same body and we're trying to be ok with that.

Maureen walks us through routine prenatal cervical checks; why you might want them and why you might prefer to decline. What information can we get from the cervix anyway?  Your podcast midwife also walks us through some methods for encouraging labor at home and preparing your body for giving birth. Let's chat about food, hormones, teas, and more.
