Anthrolactology

Nerding out so hard on this program! I really enjoyed getting to know the research of the three cohosts and love the section in which they talk about breast-feeding technologies and debunk their “necessity”! I hope in the future that we get to hear more about breastfeeding and chestfeeding research outside the US. About wrestlers drinking breastmilk: I recently read an article about Mongolia and how people think that the best Mongolian wrestlers are those who breast-fed and past six years of age! Thought that was an interesting connection!

One of the things that has surprised me about being a nursing mother is the amount of misinformation or just no information on many things surrounding it. As an RN I am so interested in the emerging science. This is such a great way to learn more. I hope there will be more episodes! Even once my nursing days are over, I will still find it fascinating and want to know more.

I love this podcast and I love the work these wonderful women are doing. This is so inspiring to me as an aspiring anthropologist and lactation geek. It feels like it was made for me! I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the future of this podcast!

So desperately needed, this podcast from 3 of the pre-eminent researchers and thinkers is bringing real, hard science about human lactation into the podcast world. It’s so incredibly important for parents, health care providers, and our societies to hear this type of useful research and the context behind it. There are no assumptions here, and these 3 scientists are committed to advancing our knowledge in the promotion of public health. This podcast should be required for every health care provider, and I am integrating it i to my lactation education courses so that my students, who are aspiring lactation care professionals, will build their careers upon this type of knowledge and thinking!
