This week, we talk to Jenn Campbell all about the perspective you gain after parenting 18 (yes, really!) kids and then watching those kids become parents themselves. Learn what she did to support herself, how she thinks parenting is different now than it was when her own children were little, and how taking your little one's perspective can be so beneficial.

Listen to the Becoming Parents Podcast.

In this episode, we welcome Lourdes Santabella, IBCLC, co-founder of Alimentación Segura Infantil, an intergenerational organization based in Puerto Rico focused on increasing breastfeeding, leadership and training and gender equity in traditionally marginalized communities, with a focus on disaster preparedness, response, and recovery and against binary and colonialist backlash.

We discuss what it's like to nurse young children past toddlerhood, why it's important to be prepared to feed your child in case of an emergency, and how feminism and supporting LGBTQ+ families is critical in breastfeeding/chestfeeding support.
