Badass Breastfeeding Podcast

I started listening to this podcast while I was pregnant and I’m so happy I did!! I have so much confidence with breastfeeding that I don’t think I would have had otherwise! My OB and baby’s pediatrician both have advocated for breastfeeding, but then my baby only gained 2oz between weeks 3 & 5, so her doctor recommended supplementing with formula. I had a total meltdown and cried all day. But then, because of this podcast, I called my hospital’s lactation department and made an appointment. They helped me figure out the issue! Now I am nursing when I’m home and supplementing with pumped milk, and pumping enough for baby get my milk while I’m working as well! My baby is 3 months old now, gaining weight so much better, and absolutely thriving!! Thank you ladies for what you are doing for breastfeeding moms!

I really wanted to like this podcast.. but after two episodes it’s just ranting and complaining. They stated that “most medications except cancer drugs are safe when breastfeeding” which just didn’t true especially when it comes to mental health prescriptions. Listened to an entire episode about supplementation to learn when it’s necessary and they never spoke about that.

This podcast is the equivalent of a high quality bra. The support these ladies give during all stages of motherhood is exceptional. From listening to this podcast, I have learned to respect myself as a mother kindly and patiently. I learned to recognize the importance of my breastfeeding child’s needs AND my own. This podcast was the support I needed to fight off all the noise at every stage of my journey. This podcast gave me the strength to stand up for myself and recognize support versus non supportive behavior of the people around me. This podcast is the unsung hero of my breastfeeding journey, just as a supportive bra is the unsung hero of a good run, great night out, sitting, standing, or lounging. I gained confidence and trust in myself as a first time mother, first time breastfeeding mother, and first time boundary reinforcer. I am ready to wean. I know my two year old son is ready too. It’s because of this podcast I know what to do next. Thank you for everything and keep doing the unsung hero’s work of supporting boobs when no one else will.

I just opened up an LLC for lactation support and all things feeding therapy related. I still refer to your podcast for topics as it got me through both my pregnancies and breast-feeding journeys without a doubt. I breastfed my now 4y/o for a year and still working on weaning my 2.5yr “Momma’s boy,” as my husband refers to him, and he’s not wrong (and I don’t hate it). I don’t know how I didn’t write a review yet!? You guys know SO much, are honest, woke, and reassuring. My best advice for new moms is to trust our bodies- we are made to do amazing things! I hear myself repeating things you’ve said on the podcasts to the mothers I’ve helped and smile knowing I learned so much from you both. Thank you.
