Ep 29: Mindful Approaches to Lactation with Victoria Beninger, IBCLC
Heather Boyd, occupational therapist and sleep coach, talks to Niagara IBCLC, Victoria Beninger, about the ways she supports new parents with feeding plans, goals, and the doubt and stress that new moms often carry. We also talk about stress as a hidden impact on milk supply. When there are so many products and lactation cookie recipes on line to increase milk supply, it’s a refreshing idea that we’ve got tools already inside us to support breastfeeding.
Listen in as we talk about:
A trend Victoria sees in who reaches out to her overnight for support
The barriers parents have in reaching out even when they are experiencing high stress and struggles with breastfeeding
The role your nervous system plays in what Victoria calls the “relaxation and lactation” state
How stress impacts breastfeeding
Using your breath and mindfulness as key tools for increasing milk supply
Cortisol, oxytocin, and the parasympathetic nervous system –what’s the connection when it comes to breastfeeding?
Victoria’s perspectives on doom scrolling while breastfeeding
Where does mindfulness come from? (And why it’s not simply a trend)
Strategies for moving away from being hyperfocused on how much milk you can pump and towards an approach that supports your efforts and goals
A story that highlights just how valuable support, encouragement, and a regulated nervous system is to successful breastfeeding experiences
