Are you wondering if something in your diet might be the culprit?Many parents bring concerns to their baby’s care provider about allergens in breast/chest milk and the pediatrician agrees or goes along with the plan because the symptoms seem to be congruent with allergies in human milk.

  • Episode 43 Rekindling Your Intuition Through Breastfeeding: One Mother's Spiritual Awakening with Dr. Beata
    Empowering mothers to listen to their intuition is the change we want to see in society. Too many times mothers are invalidated, especially as first time mothers.Women know their body and baby, and they know best for both of them. We need to stop telling mothers what they’re thinking or feeling isn’t real, and stop brushing over their needs.Unfortunately, it takes a lot of misses before mothers are taken seriously, or when mothers have had enough of the run around. This is something our guest on today’s episode wants to eliminate and give mothers the help they need right off the bat so they don’t have to endure what she went through in her breastfeeding experience with her daughter.Dr. Beata Harasim is a Holistic and Integrative Doctor of Physical Therapy who helps families find the root cause of their health issues to live happier, healthier lives. Her journey started when her daughter was born and experienced breastfeeding challenges coupled with medical and health challenges, where she was denied and invalidated at every turn when trying to seek help for her colicky baby.This all led to Dr. Beata taking hers and her baby’s health into her own hands and did not give up on seeking help. This long grueling journey helped her come back to herself where she experienced a spiritual awakening through all the challenges.Now, Dr. Beata is empowering other women and mothers to stand up for themselves to get the answers they need and deserve to stop the unnecessary suffering and lead a peaceful and mindful life.Tune in to hear an all too common story with an empowering outcome!Join Dr. Beata’s Facebook group here!Study showing how cortisol levels in human breast milk is associated with infant crying.Head to Apple Podcasts or Spotify for more episodes!Join The Milk Making Minutes Facebook Group to talk about the structural barriers that make breastfeeding so difficult and work together to chip away at each one.To get individualized lactation support from me, Lo, go here.To buy books about pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and parenting, and to support the show while doing it, go to my bookshop!Follow me on IG @milkmakingminutespodcast to laugh about breastfeeding and to see photos of guests!free resource page that I do have it's www.holisticdoctorbeata.com/resources.

  • Episode 40 Can I Take This? Medication in Human Milk, A Guide
    As you embark on the incredible (and sometimes daunting) journey of nursing your baby, you’ll get a lot of conflicting advice. You’ll also find that different sources will often give you completely different information.For example, when it comes to taking medication or undergoing a routine medical procedure, parents are regularly told by medical professionals that they should stop breastfeeding or ‘pump and dump’, even when the research doesn’t always indicate that this is necessary.There are a lot of misconceptions out there about nursing and medication, and it can sometimes be difficult to separate fact from fiction. This is why we are discussing this important topic in today’s episode of The Milk Making Minutes!Tune in as we share reliable resources, best practices, and comprehensive details about drug classifications to help you weigh up the risks.We hope you’ll take this information into account and share it with your medical professionals to help educate them as you make the decision that is best for you and your baby!Topics discussed in this episode:
    • Resources that the InfantRisk Center offers parents
    • Using the LactMed Database to determine if a medication is safe
    • A look at Dr. Thomas Hale’s drug classification system
    • 5 ways that researchers make these classifications
    • Making decisions based on facts, not fear!

Especially about what the mother should be eating or drinking in postpartum.There is a wide range of advice across countries and cultures, however there is no standard food that is proven to actually help with milk supply.The only advice about food that you need is, if it is a food you like, eat it, if you enjoy it, you should have it.
