Today is the last of the season we talk to Alex Wachelka a Lactation Consultant.
Breastfeeding is pushed on you with often not enough support. This episode will talk about breast and bottle feeding, there will be lots of talk about lactation.
This is a must-listen episode both for those who want to learn more about breastfeeding, but also for those who want to support someone else in there journey.
We talk about some of the many reasons that it can be valuable to get the support of a lactation consultant from pre-birth to toddlers

We talk about mental health and the support of knowledge.

This was defiantly a call that could have gone WAY longer!

Allana comes with a huge such a breadth of experience and knowledge.

We talk about many things which cover both the neurotypical family as well as those of us who are neurodivergent.

It follows on really nicely from last week's episode: https://bcarried.wordpress.com/2022/05/23/movement-breeds-energy-with-gary-martinez-jr/

We talk about the fascinating subjects of the human brain (we defiantly geek out in this area). We also are VERY critical of the Victorians!

We talk about choosing nurseries and trusting your gut!

I loved talking to Gary as he brings so much joy to parenting.

Gary is a fitness trainer with a specialism in supporting families with Autism children. He helps them to find more energy in his day.

We talk about how exercise can help us have more energy. Although this seems counterintuitive, moving your body can have a really positive energy on our energy levels.

Finding your own path and your own journey is so important. Top up and stretching is a quick way that Gary has found his way.

The balance board I chatted about: https://amzn.to/3yTlgzv

We talk nutrition, for both his daughter, certain foods have effects on us, as well as small steps.

We are not in competition with our children or other people. We are in it together! I love the way that Gary talks about the diagnosis of his daughter with Autism and Sensory Processing Disorder, he does not describe it as HER diagnosis but as OUR diagnosis.

The book I mentioned: Love Bombing: https://amzn.to/3wEdaJq

Today’s episode was so much fun to record. I love talking to Chris, whom I first met when I was on his podcast earlier this year.

Chris is a dad to 4 children ranging in age from 19 - 5. He has been the primary caregiver to his all children.

We talk about gender roles and the changing dynamics. There is defiantly a theme of going against the norms.

Chris is planning to home educate his youngest daughter and so the conversation of educating our children is a big topic of discussion.

As will come as no surprise to regular listeners we talk about the individuality of people and how systems don’t match that well. Not only do we talk about the flexibility within the schools as well as within the working world
