  • Episode 178 Finding Solutions for Breastfeeding Pain
    In this episode of The Milk Making Minutes, lactation consultant Lo Nigrosh discusses the misconception that painful breastfeeding is expected and will naturally disappear. She emphasizes that persistent nursing pain indicates issues with feeding, typically due to incorrect baby positioning, latch problems or the baby's oral motor issues. Lo highlights the importance of seeking professional help, suggesting remedies can be given after identifying the type of pain, for instance, 'rubbing pain' from insufficient breast tissue in the baby's mouth. She encourages consulting an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) if the pain is persistent.

    Do look to everyone else to help you determine the best things to do for your baby?

Rachel Sievers, a retired mental health professional and life coach helps us figure out both how to look internally and how to help others do the same.
    On this episode you will hear:
    • How to gauge whether or not advice you are being given aligns with your own values
