Happy 50 episodes! Today we are going to be taking you through the basics of breastmilk composition, the benefits of breastfeeding for mom and baby, and some fun facts about breastmilk. With all of the misinformation on this topic out there in the world we felt like it was time to set the record straight and expand into the world of new parents and breastfeeding. We have more episodes to come on this topic but please be sure to message us with any suggestions or questions for future episode!
