  • AAB 102 Breastfeeding Penny Simkin PT Author and Educator

    My guest today does not know this, however, I met her many years ago, in a friends home on Long Island, NY. The Birth Partner was a fairly new book and my childbirth educator friends and I were just learning about what it means to be a labor support person and were learning about this new profession called a Birth Doula. We were a small group of less than 10 moms and we were suppose to meet for about 2 hours and we wound up talking until the wee hours of the morning. She really left us with a good impression and I have followed her career ever since.

  • AAB 097 Breastfeeding International Board Certified Lactation Consultants
    Because this is so long, myself and others have picked up a habit of calling ourselves LCs or lactation consultants. This was fine for a while, however in recent years there have been many weekend or week long courses that have cropped up and when a person graduates from that course, they can call themselves a LC ( lactation consultant) or or an LS ( lactation specialist)or BC (breastfeeding counselor) or CBC ( certified breastfeeding counselor) or CLC ( certified lactation consultant) or any number of titles.

  • AAB 096 Breastfeeding Sarah Argenal is the Founder of the Working Parent Resource, which is an online resource dedicated to helping frazzled working moms and dads slow down and finally focus on what matters most in their lives.

    Sarah was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. When she was 5 years old, her parents were divorced and she moved to California to a very small hippie town. Her mom and stepdad were hippies. She had an older sister and a younger brother and she was the middle child. She also had a couple of step sisters and half brothers. Sarah looks back fondly and says that she had a nice childhood. She was homeschooled for 5 years. Her family traveled from San Francisco, up and down the coastline in a sailboat for most of her childhood. Her dad lived in Cincinnati and she visited him for summers. Her family spent their time on a 52 foot sailboat, mostly in the Bay area. In the summers, her family sailed down to Santa Barbara and back up. Homeschooling was year round.

  • AAB 095 Breastfeeding WIC and the NWA changes to Support breastfeeding
    There was a big announcement made in the last few days. This affects many mothers and children. I believe the decision I am going to talk about is in the best interest of mothers and children and yet there is controversy surrounding it. I find that what is usually lying beneath controversy is FEAR. So, let's get into it. What was this announcement anyway Have you heard of the WIC program. It stands for Womans, Infants and Children. healthcare referrals for income-eligible women who are pregnant or post-partum, infants, and children up to age 5. It is a federal public health nutrition program administered by the United State Department of Agriculture (USDA), The National WIC Association (NWA) is a non-profit membership association that advocates for WIC and provides education and training to WIC staff. NWA does not create WIC policy or have oversight of WIC. NWA recently had a Nutrition Education and Breastfeeding Promotion Conference here they made a pretty big announcement.

  • AAB 093 Breastfeeding Facebook Support group responds to a mom
    I like being able to share stories of the families that I work with. I also want to be sure that I respect everyone's privacy. I have said this in previous shows, however, we are doing fabulous here at AAB and gaining many new listeners every week. For the newest listeners, I want you to know that I share stories so that we may all learn from them. When I share a story, I change and rearrange and leave out as much information as I possibly can, while still keeping the foundation of the story real. I change so much that no one will ever guess who it is, even if you think it is you, it probably isn't. I might say that I saw the mom this week and it could have been a few months ago. Your boy is now girl. Your significant other may be a male or female, attended the consult or not,, and if it is not relevant to the story, I will change that up also. Again, the important parts are real and are what happened.
