Breast Milk production is not "easy" for everyone

36 minutes

There is a misconception that breastfeeding comes easy to everyone who wants to do it. As an IBCLC, I know this is not the truth. I welcome Kaia Lacy, a certified lactation counselor, partner of The Low Milk Supply Foundation, and mother of two to normalize low milk supply in breastfeeding.

We discuss:

The difference between primary and secondary low milk supply

Misconceptions about breastfeeding that can negatively impact a feeding journey

How combo-feeding can be helpful to many

For more watch Dr. Mona's "The Worst Breast-Feeding Tip" video on YouTube.
