Today on the podcast I am sharing an amazing, super educational conversation about breastfeeding with International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator, Kristen A Rossi.

Kristen has her Master of Science Degree in Education and has training in Maternal & Infant Assessment, as well as the core areas of lactation. She was one of the lactation consultants at her local hospital and worked on the maternity floor for over 7 years before shifting her energy towards building her private practice. In addition to working with both in/outpatients, Kristen has been trained and certified in Lamaze, and has both written and facilitated a comprehensive and evidence-based childbirth education curriculum.

More importantly, she is the mother of three children and you’ll hear more about how she became so interested in this space after the birth of her first son, on this episode.

We talk about preparing for breastfeeding even before giving birth, the benefits of skin to skin after birth, a baby’s first feed, physiological scenarios that might impact breastfeeding, the truth behind lactation cookies and how to increase milk supply naturally, eating schedules, pumping and dumping, colic, and so much more! We cover ALOT and barely scratch the surface.

I have a feeling there are going to be follow up episodes to this one and I know I’d love to hear from everyone listening if that is something you would like too, because I know I would! Kristen really is a doula for breastfeeding in my opinion!

I hope you enjoy this episode, stay tuned for a discount code to one of Kristen’s courses and please let us know what your biggest takeaway was in my latest Instagram post on my page, @notamamayet.
