Badass Breastfeeding Podcast

I am so glad I found this podcast! I am not one that usually listens to talk shows or podcasts but I have been made a follower by the amazing support and information that comes from listening to these ladies! On the occasion that a show goes down a rabbit hole (as any conversation with a best friend or sister can go) it is always with quality information and is easy to follow back to the original topic which I believe is a gift to keep people interested with the natural branching of conversations. I found this podcast at 4 months breastfeeding and my boy is almost 10 months now and though I was always determined to breastfeed as close to 2 years as I could get it eased my anxiety about the ups and downs I was not expecting. With my continuing to exclusively breastfeed I find my community of like minded individuals gets smaller the older he gets because so many have gone to just bottles or weaned early and I thank you for being part of my village.

Absolutely loving this podcast as a first time mom. No one told me how challenging breastfeeding would be and how different each week and stage would be. I am currently 4 months postpartum and run to this podcast for almost every challenge we face and try to stay off the dreaded Google. I had a pretty traumatic birth and was being told we needed to supplement and bottle feed. I’m glad I stuck to my guns and continued to latch baby. From hospital staff “rules” to oversupply and reflux to latch changes and distracted feeding, I have learned so much and have also been able to lean into my own intuition with the information I take from these ladies. Would recommend to all moms wishing to purse a breastfeeding journey and have told several friends to give it a listen!

As a fellow LC, I love listening to these two lovely ladies speak about everyday, real issues as well as special topics related to breastfeeding! Give it a listen, you won’t regret it!

I am SO SO glad that I found this podcast. I am a huge history nerd and I loved the episode about formula marketing and I am now very interested in reading The Politics of Breastfeeding. More importantly though, I have had anxiety since college and having a baby has ROCKED my world and turned it upside down. I did not find this podcast until about 3 months postpartum. I wish I had found it sooner, because I struggled so hard with breastfeeding at the beginning and had a lot of issues, I even went to multiple lactation consultants and one of them had me triple feed, which was unsustainable. Eventually my baby figured it out and I am so happy that we get to continue our breastfeeding journey. I wanted to breastfeed so bad and I am so glad that eventually it worked out. Thank you for being friends that are reassuring me as I continue! ❤️❤️❤️
