- Episode 15 Relieving Anxiety Through a Change in the Breastfeeding Plan: Olivia's Struggle with Low Milk Supply and How She Learned to FeelOlivia's baby Lennon was born a couple of weeks early weighing just 5 pounds. She felt very supported at the hospital, and left feeling confident about breastfeeding. That was, until she went to a prescheduled follow appointment with the lactation consultant on day 6 and discovered her baby had dropped half a pound since birth. They made a plan to exclusively pump both to monitor Lennon's intake and to manage her own anxiety, with the expectation that she would go back to feeding at the breast. Listen in to hear how Olivia managed the stress of changing plans and unmet expectations.In this episode you will hear Olivia discuss:
- having a low birth weight baby
- being anxious about baby weight gain
- low milk supply
- triple feeding
- deciding to exlusive pumping
- attempts to increase milk suppy

She Gave birth at two different hospitals due to changing access to care after deciding to stay home with her first baby and losing her employer provided insurance. Breastfeeding went relatively smoothly the first time around. She hired a doula, found her care to be fantastic at her hospital birth, and her baby took to nursing easily. It took her by surprise when breastfeeding was much harder and much more painful the second time around. Luckily, the doula she had hired for her first birth was able to recommend a lactation consultant who was able to provide the support she needed. Desi breastfed both of her children well into toddlerhood.

She has 6 children, three of whom she birthed and breastfed. She had a really tough first experience, that was made even more challenging because she took custody of her three older children when her first biological baby was 4 weeks old and she wasn't even in the swing of things with breastfeeding. Getting her first to latch was very challenging and if it wasn't for lifelong athlete mentality, she would not have made it through. Her second and third were not *as* challenging, but she did have an accidental homebirth on the exact same day that Lo had her homebirth!

#lactationjourney #breastfeedingmoms #maternalhealth #postpartumtruths #supportmoms #newborn #newmom #newbaby #baby #pumpingmoms #breastfeeding #chestfeeding #humanmilkforhumanbabies1 hr 11 min - Episode 12 When the Support isn't Helping, How to Get What You Need with KerryKerry had very little breastfeeding exposure before having her first baby. She was pressured into a C-section where her baby was immediately put into an isolette. She was given very little support initially and she was given incorrect information. On her final day she was able to get breastfeeding support from an IBCLC which made all the difference. Kerry was breastfeeding when her oldest was a year old, when she discovered she was pregnant with her second. She continued to breastfeed throughout the pregnancy, despite being told misinformation about breastfeeding through pregnancy by her OBGYN. She felt confident in her decision because she had read Adventures in Tandem Nursing: Breasteeding During Pregnancy and Beyond and educated herself about breastfeeding during pregnancy. Her second baby was also delivered by c-section, but this time she asked to hold the baby immediately and made it clear what she needed from the hospital staff to support breastfeeding. She tandem nursed both kids until they were 4 1/2 and 6 1/2 and threw a weaning party when they stopped breastfeeding. Ten years later, she had a third child who was born at home vaginally. Kerry discusses such topics as:
- postpartum depression
- pumping for work
- tandem breastfeeding
- weaning a toddler

Gretchen also knew she ONLY wanted to breastfeed her kids for about a year, once teeth were in the picture she wasn't interested in continuing.

She had one friend who was willing to share breastfeeding details with her, but other than that did not know many other people who were very open about their breastfeeding journeys. She was adopted and so giving birth and breastfeeding brought a host of new new feelings she didn’t expect before becoming a mother. Breastfeeding did not come easily for Laura. As a busy mom or three children, you can hear her busy life in the background throughout the episode! The background noise gives us a tiny glimpse into Laura’s every day life. Many of us can relate.Laura discusses:
- severe pain
- tongue ties
- the stress of needing to supplement when that was not part of the plan.
- twin feeding
- choosing to formula feed for her own health

She had difficult births with most of her babies, but always assumed breastfeeding would be the way she fed her babies. She was concerned it would be difficult because her nipples are typically very sensitive, and she thought she would endure a lot of pain. but it turns out breastfeeding was a completely different sensation for her and she was able to feed each of her children for well over a year (and most of them for years). She nursed despite an autoimmune disorder, through a lung biopsy, while traveling with infants that were weeks old and during bouts of mastitis, to name a few challenges. Despite all of this, Sarah views her breastfeeding experiences with joy and is glad to have had this time with her children, even has she still nurses her youngest. Sarah mentions milkies milk savers in this episode: https://www.amazon.com/Milkies-Milk-Saver-Breast-Collector-Storage/dp/B007HYL9TSShe also mentions the haaka milk collector: https://haakaausa.com/products/haakaa-silicone-milk-collector-1-pk?variant=35554460041365Head to Apple Podcasts or Spotify for more Milk Making Minutes episodes!Listen to Episode of The Milk Making Minutes on Amazon Music too!To book a lactation consultation with me, visit my website: www.quabbinbirthservices.com.

#lactationjourney #breastfeedingmoms #maternalhealth #postpartumtruths #supportmoms #newborn #newmom #newbaby #baby #pumpingmoms #breastfeeding #chestfeeding #humanmilkforhumanbabies1 hr 5 min - Episode 8 Feeling Supported Despite Adjusting Baby Feeding Goals with MelissaMelissa (she/her) was a yoga instructor and took hypnobirth classes and read all the books after becoming pregnant in her late 30s for the first time. Earlier in her life she had breast reduction surgery which she knew could impact her ability to feed human milk to biological children, but didn't expect to ever give birth to her own children, so wasn't worried about it at the time. After two births that went exactly as she hoped, she struggled to provide enough milk for the first but was still welcomed for over a year by a local breastfeeding peer support group. She was producing enough milk with her second baby (who came 18 months after her first), but the baby struggled to suck strongly enough to ingest enough milk. This required her to adjust her baby feeding goals not once, but twice. Melissa discusses:
- low milk supply
- welcoming peer support groups
- baby wearing and attachment without breastfeeding
- learning to be OK with formula feeding

#lactationjourney #breastfeedingmoms #maternalhealth #postpartumtruths #supportmoms #newborn #newmom #newbaby #baby #pumpingmoms #breastfeeding #chestfeeding #humanmilkforhumanbabies52 min - Episode 7 Elle Shares about Breastfeeding a Premie in the NICU Learning to Trust Herself after a Four Week Hospital Stay and Breastfeeding aElle (she/her) always assumed she would breastfeed her children when she had them and that it be an intuitive experience. The daughter of someone who gave birth to all her children at home and seemed to effortlessly feed them all at the breast, Elle assumed that would be her story too. She was thrown for a loop when her first child was born early and required an extensive NICU and further hospital stay. This made it hard for her to trust her intuition after her first child required so much medical intervention initially. Despite the initial struggles and insecurities, she found a groove and exclusively breastfed both of her children for three and over four years (still going strong with the second!). Elle discusses:
- breastfeeding after a suprise early birth and a baby in the NICU
- pumping for a baby in the NICU
- learning to latch a baby in the NICU
- the stress of learning to stress your instincts after following the strict NICU protocols
- breastfeeding a full-term baby
- breastfeeding a toddler

Looking back she can see that she wasn't given the right supports at crucial moments and that she did not know enough to ask for them. When her second was born she tried hard to both care for her oldest and pump to provide milk for her baby who was diagnosed with a tongue tie while taking the necessary steps to resolve it. She worked around the clock to pump milk for her second, and by the second month made the tough decision, for her own sanity to switch to formula. By the time her third was born, she wasn't even sure she could handle the disappointment of trying again and not being able to feed at the breast. But she gave it one last shot and was finally able to have the breastfeeding experience she had been longing for, but not without difficulty.
