Episode 65: Inclusive Ways to Feed and Parent Your Baby with Victoria Facelli @victoria.facelli.ibclc


This week Rachael speaks with Victoria Facelli, an IBCLC and author of the book 'Feed the Baby', to discuss the inclusive approach to feeding and parenting. She emphasizes the need to change our mindset and be open to different feeding methods, rather than getting caught up in the breast milk vs. formula debate. 


Inside this episode:

  • How to use a risk-benefit analysis for each parenting decision, considering factors such as recovery, sleep, and mental health. 
  • The importance of advocating for oneself and seeking support from professionals like lactation consultants!
  • The power of being able to change our minds as parents and adapt to the needs of our children. 
  • The role of partners in supporting the birthing parent and the nursing parent.
  • Why it is so important for partners to be involved and educated about feeding.
  • Practical advice for partners to help with feeding and caregiving responsibilities
  • The need to protect maternal sleep.
  • Some challenges and benefits of introducing bottles early on. 
  • Hear about Victoria’s personal experiences & insights for navigating the postpartum period.
  • And so much more!
