Ep. 4: Dear Doctor Babytime Podcast

- Kids & Family
What doctors do and say matters. Postpartum is hard. A new mother is trying to figure out her new role. She may have finished high school, college and maybe even has a master or two, but few women have been taught to mother. She is learning, day by day. She is trying her best, yet in one fell swoop, one word, one comment you can destroy her. You can make her feel like a failure. You can end her breastfeeding journey before it has even begun. Please be gentle, kind and supportive.
