Customer Reviews
Best Podcast Ever!
I found you through a breastfeeding group on Facebook after my second child was born. I only wish I had found you sooner! My first child struggled to latch and I ended up throwing in the towel and pumped and combo fed until I switched him to formula at 9 months. But after my second latched like a champ right after she was born, I knew I was in for a completely new experience. I’ve used the info you’ve shared to backup how I choose to feed my daughter, for how long, and advocate for myself. We’re almost ten months in and I don’t see her weaning any time soon! I love the pace and delivery of the content and how real and to-the-point you both are! My daughter recognizes your voices and starts squealing with excitement as soon as your intro music comes on. Thanks for all the facts and laughs!
Stop going on tangents
I think you guys have some great information but I’ve now listened to 4 episodes and every time I’m waiting for you to get to the point and give us the information we came to you for. Your audience is moms and we don’t have a ton of time to listen to small chat. We came here to learn something quickly. Please start getting to the point and identifying the key pieces of info we need! Would love to keep listening but don’t love having to fast forward and wait to hear what I need.
8 days in and loving BF…thanks to this podcast!
I found this podcast during my pregnancy. I listened to it so much that I’m sure the sound of it comforts my child! My son was born on September 1st and I was so excited to start our breastfeeding journey. I felt well prepared and educated from listening to this podcast. It sure is not an easy task, but the advice from these two ladies have given me confidence to keep it going. He seems to be a lover of comfort nursing. Listening to the episode on comfort nursing reassures me that this is a natural and normal thing. I listened to this podcast while pregnant, I am listening to it during my late nights, and I plan to continue to listen to it as I continue this new way of life. Thank you Diane and Abby!!!
