From moments after birth, a newborn baby searches the strange new environment for his mother’s breast. There, he will gain nutrition—essential, but not the whole story. He also receives comfort, warmth, physiological support, and love and emotional bonding. After about nine months of nurturing the baby inside her body, the mother now nurtures him outside of it—through embraces and diaper changes, baths and play, and feedings. This season of love, light, and giving reminds of the gift that is breastfeeding. Tune in for discussion of breastfeeding a gift from mother to child (hopefully with her partner’s support), and the impact of this gift not only on the baby but also on the mother, family, and community. Listen in, and call or e-mail radio@borntobebreastfed.com with your thoughts on this important topic. As you exchange gifts this season, take a moment to celebrate one of the most amazing gifts you give your baby: breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding: A Gift Like No Other

Every new mother hears that breast is best. Many decide to breastfeed so their baby has the best. But soon after birth, the days are often fraught with sleep deprivation and conflicting messages from peers, family members, and health care professionals. Later, negative messages from the media and critical comments from family members and others may trigger mothers to question their decision. Feelings of inadequacy, intimidation and societal pressure to wean can cause mothers to give up breastfeeding before meeting their goals.
The aim of this show is to empower parents to overcome the barriers that keep them from beginning or continuing to breastfeed. Through discussion of hospital practices, milk supply, medications, returning to work, milk storage options, and more, this show will provide an informed and supportive voice for new families and established families, so that they can take charge of their breastfeeding experience from conception through weaning.
