Being a new mom can be extremely challenging with lots of “firsts” and things to learn. Breastfeeding is definitely one of the things that many new moms aren’t prepared for. Sometimes breast feeding can be a joyful bond between baby and mom, or it can be a painful experience depending on many different factors. I sat down with Beth Iovinelli today to discuss all things about breastfeeding, what to expect when things go awry, and how to best prepare.

Beth is a Registered Nurse and Board Certified Lactation Consultant with nearly 28 years of experience in the field of maternal child health. She has worked as a labor and delivery nurse, postpartum nurse and patient educator in the hospital setting and as the coordinator of newborn services and lactation in a pediatric office.

Beth is now the owner of Milk Street Lactation Support Center in East Norwalk, CT. Milk Street is a storefront, community based center that provides prenatal education and postpartum support and education.

On today’s episode we will walk you through how to prepare for breastfeeding, what to expect during the first few weeks, tips and tricks, and a discussion about milk undersupply and oversupply.
