13. Optimizing Your Breastfeeding Journey | Therese Dansby, IBCLC The Freely Rooted Podcast
-
- Health & Fitness
We sat down with RN & IBCLC Therese Dansby to merge perhaps one of the most important combinations for motherhood: metabolic health + breastfeeding. In a culture where there seems to be two sides yelling "breast is best!" or "fed is best!," we're here to say that perhaps "nourished & supported breastfeeding is best." The hard truth is that breastmilk nutrition does not stay fixed. The nutrition of your breastmilk is absolutely determined by your own nourishment as a mom. So that does that mean we're saying to outsource to formula to ensure that baby is getting what baby needs? Absolutely not! We're saying that moms. need. NOURISHMENT. And moms need support to make that happen- whether that's through help, lifestyle shifts, financial readjustments, or simply the environment in which the mom feels like the power is back into her hands.
Join us as we sit down & discuss the following:
Therese's metabolic health journey
Mercer's theory of maternal attainment
Why it's important to put power back into the mom's hands
How breastmilk composition changes over time
Is "fed" really best?
What is "costs" a mom metabolically to breastfeed
Why it's important to support your metabolism prior to pregnancy + postpartum
A whole-body approach to baby's "food intolerances"
Postpartum mood disorders: a "chemical imbalance" or a lack of nourishment/support?
Society's obsession with infant sleep
Postpartum diet culture
Calorie needs for breastfeeding moms
Postpartum hormonal changes
Return of cycle while breastfeeding
