Episode 04: The Taboo of Breastfeeding & Comparing Hospital vs. Birthing Center
How do we #NormalizeBreastfeeding in a society that oversexualizes boobs? What are the pros and cons of having an unmedicated birth in a hospital vs. a birthing center? In this special interview episode, Quinn Hoffmann joins the show to share her personal experience comparing two very different births. We dive deep into why there is such a strong taboo around breastfeeding in public and how to break the stigma. This is a great episode for anyone who is interested in having an unmedicated birth or plans on breastfeeding.
Customer Reviews
Refreshing and Informative
I absolutely love listening to Claire’s podcast! She is so passionate and enthusiastic about a holistic approach to health. Listening to her gives me the encouragement and empowerment that I need to go with my maternal intuition in the face of so many medical and pharmaceutical interventions pressured upon us in today’s western medical culture. Claire has really done her research and due diligence and it shines through in her episodes. I absolutely recommend this podcast to any mamas out there wanting to educate themselves about a more natural approach to both, their own as well as their children’s health. Keep it up Claire!
Love!
I’m planning and researching before we try for our first, and this has been SO helpful - Claire explains the physical aspects of pregnancy/motherhood, but doesn’t forget the emotional/relational aspect, which is something I rarely find in podcasts!
Wish she would do more!
Very informative and educational!
A fun and interesting listen. Jam packed with valuable information! Also, I look forward to getting to know the host more—she leads an interesting life as an American living in Santiago, Chile. We get a taste of this at the end of the first episode. Anyway, really enjoyed! Subscribed for more!
