  • AAB 151: Breastfeeding: Tandem nursing with Tressa Rappold
    In our show today, Tressa talks about the homebirth of her two daughters. She gives us a window into her postpartum life and talks about the difficulties she had. Tressa attempted to hold in her postpartum depression feelings, not even wanting to talk to her family about it. She tells us how a frank discussion with her husband led her to seek help and how she realized that was the best decision she every could have had. Tressa then brings us deeper into her family's life and tells us how she came to tandem nurse her daughters and what it meant to her and her family.

  • AAB 150 Breastfeeding - Scheduled Breastfeedings? Why not?
    I think the biggest misconception when it comes to babies feeding and sleeping cycles is that it is our job as parents to get our babies on a schedule. In theory, this sounds like it would really work and is in the best interest of the baby and parents. If your baby ate and slept on a schedule that you designed, this would fit nicely into your day and you would have a routine that you can count on. In theory, seems good, However, when adults attempt to have this degree of control over a new baby, it typically is a hard thing to make happen and if you are breastfeeding your baby, this forced routine causes lots of breastfeeding difficulty. There are some very real common sense and practical reasons why this is just not a safe way to go about feeding your baby.

  • AAB 144 Breastfeeding - What happens when you make too much milk
    We are going to be talking about a very personal and very sensitive subject amongst the breastfeeding community. Your milk supply. I know this is personal and I know this sensitive. I also know that this is a huge topic of concern and based on the great response I have had from the last several shows that I talked about milk supply, I know this is a subject you want to hear more about.

  • AAB 143 Breastfeeding- Katy Widrick is a stay at home mom and breastfed 2 daughters

    Katy and I began today's show talking about the need to educate the public about the basics of breastfeeding. We agreed that it is more than likely the lack of knowledge about how breastfeeding works rather than judgments that gets in the way of the public having patience and tolerance for the breastfeeding mother. You do you. I am going to worry about me and let's just be kind and supportive of each other.

  • AAB 142 FAQ 16 IGT Insufficient Glandular Tissue
    Stacy tells me that she has a lot of friends who are breastfeeding and decided she really want to have this experience with her baby. Stacy tells me that she exclusively breastfed her new baby, Alex and 8 lb 1 oz boy during her 2 days hospital stay. She was told the latch was good, although Stacy complained that it was pinching her a lot. Everyone agreed that baby seemed happy at breast and content after most feedings. A few hours before discharge, she was given news that upset her greatly. Her baby Luke had lost 10 oz and that was way too much weight loss. Stacy said that she felt like her world was crashing down around her as she had flashbacks to her first baby.
