Breastmilk Testing: Why Measure the Quality of Your Breastmilk? with @lactationlab Stephanie Canale, MD

36 minutes

#188: Is your breastmilk the same as my breastmilk? What if my breastmilk is lacking in nutrients that are compromising my baby’s growth? And can I measure the quality of my breastmilk? These are questions that Dr. Stephanie Canale wondered as a new mom and is now working to answer through her work as the founder of Lactation Lab.

In this episode Dr. Canale is explaining her breastmilk testing technology and services that are helping moms get a more clear understanding of the quality of their breastmilk and how that impacts their baby’s health.

Listen to this episode to learn:

How variations in mom’s diet can impact breastmilk and in turn, baby’s growth and development

Why we should be questioning the age-old assumption that all human breastmilk contains equivalent amounts and levels of nutrients

What changes mom can make in her diet (with food, not supplements) if her breastmilk testing results indicate deficiencies
