“Hey honey, did you start pumping milk for our little guy yet?  You’re going back to work soon, and I know we should probably try and give him a bottle soon.

 “Lucky for you Dianne and Abby are talking about pumping on the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast this week!  Tune in, I bet they will be able to answer a lot of your questions.”

“Hey honey, I feel like it’s been so long since we have been intimate.  I know that it can take a little time to adjust after you have a baby, but it’s been a couple of months now.  What do you think?”<br/><br/>

 “Honey, I’m sorry.  I am just not feeling up to it at all.  I’m so tired, my hormones are all over the place and to be honest, I can’t imagine even being touched right now.  I know that may be hard to understand, but if you listen to the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast this week, you will hear that it is really not uncommon for couples to go through this.”<br/><br/>

 This week on the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast, Dianne and Abby talk about what happens to your sex drive once you have a baby. Will you ever see it again?  Is your libido MIA?  Check out the podcast this week to learn more about what’s really going on.<br/><br/>

“Honey, my cousin’s wedding is in a few weeks and we will have to leave our little guy overnight.  We have never done that before!  I don’t know about this.  How will it work? What do I do about feeds?  Won’t he miss us? What if he cries all day?”

<br/><br/>

“Honey, don’t worry.  It will all work out ok.  He will be with Grandma and Grandpa and they will have a great time.  But as for the feeds…maybe you should listen to the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast this week.  They are talking about leaving your baby and what to expect when you go away without your baby.  Dianne and Abby can help you figure it out!”

“Honey, our little guy hasn’t pooped in a couple days. Is he constipated? Have you been feeding him enough?”

“Honey, the baby is really fussy after you ate broccoli 2 days in a row now. Could that be upsetting the baby’s tummy?” 

 “I don’t think so, Dianne and Abby said that food is rarely the culprit with gassy babies. She’s probably just trying to figure out how to fart! Babies have to learn everything from scratch!” 

 This week Dianne and Abby are discussing gassy babies and putting to rest your worries about what you are eating. Stop reading labels for 30 minutes to get educated on the bowels of newborns and just how difficult it is to pass that normal gas.

“Honey, how was work today?” 

 “It was awful! My boss only let me pump one time and told me I had to do it in the bathroom! Now I am engorged, I’m afraid of getting plugged ducts and I am totally humiliated!”

Even though there are laws that protect pumping and breastfeeding discrimination and harassment still happen often.

“Honey, you’ve been breastfeeding for a long time now. You seemed a bit stressed out. It’s OK to wean now.” 

 “You’re right, I could wean, but I was hoping to keep breastfeeding. I need a plan to keep going while maintaining my sanity. I see Dianne and Abby are talking about boundaries today. I bet they can help!” 

 Yes, we can help you continue to breastfeed and meet your personal goals. It’s totally normal to want to have some boundaries for yourself. Boundaries can help you avoid weaning before you feel ready.

“Honey, I’m so happy we are having twins! But I heard someone say that you won't make enough milk to breastfeed them.” 

 “Not true! Dianne and Abby said that breastfeeding multiples is just as possible as breastfeeding a singleton! My body will produce as much milk as needed!” 

 Listen this week as Dianne and Abby crush some more myths. This time about breastfeeding multiples. Your body will absolutely make enough milk for your babies, no matter how many there are! It can be a challenge to figure out the logistics, but you got this.

“Honey, don’t you think it’s time we switched our baby to cow’s milk? She is 1 year old now and we want to make sure she has all the fat and vitamin D she needs!” 

 “Yeah, if she were a baby cow that would definitely be what we should do! Actually Dianne and Abby said that cow’s milk is never necessary and my breastmilk is tailor-made to meet her every need at every age!” 

 Listen this week as Dianne and Abby discuss cow’s milk and other non-human milk. This is a common misconception that your milk is not sufficient to meet your baby’s needs. Your milk is designed by your body, just as perfectly as your baby was made by your body. No milk from another species can ever be better for your baby. Drink cow’s milk or other milks if you like, but it is never needed. It’s a choice.

“Honey, did you put that pacifier in the baby’s mouth? Didn’t the doctor tell you NOT to give that to the baby?” 

 “Yeah, he did, but he can suck it!! Dianne and Abby have me feel much more secure in our breastfeeding relationship and now I know that not even a pacifier can mess this up! What a relief!” 

 Listen this week as Dianne and Abby discuss nipple confusion. As long as you are focusing on breastfeeding on demand you can feel free to take a few moments with a pacifier to use the bathroom, get dressed or take a shower for heaven’s sake!
