Do you know the average amounts of milk that babies take in the first days and weeks of their life? You may be surprised to learn the tiny quantities that babies take in their earliest days. Have you ever heard someone say their milk didn’t come in until days after the baby was born, which led you to believe that it was possible for babies to not transfer any milk during that time?

On this episode you will hear:

• evidence based information about how much milk newborns take
• The trajectory of milk making from pregnancy to mature milk
• A way for any pregnant person to feel prepared to feed their baby in the postpartum period

During pregnancy do most people spend more time curating the baby registry list with all the stuff they think they need, or thinking about how to best feel supported once the baby arrives? Time and again new parents say they were unprepared for how much their lives changed, which negatively impacts postpartum mental health. There is a way to feel more prepared. So why is it that most childbirth education classes discuss the postpartum period as an afterthought?

On this episode Lo discusses:

• The intensity of new parenthood
• The idea that it is possible to feel more prepared
• A solution for this difficult problem

Were you taken aback by how difficult or easy some of your baby feeding journeys were compared to the others? What we learn as parents of multiple children, and what we learn as professionals in the perinatal field is that every baby is different, every feeding dyad is different, and we can work to find root causes of difficulties, but we are not always in control of how things turn out.
On this episode Kimbery Jarest, IBCLC and Lo discuss:

• Kimberly’s first easy breastfeeding experience and the false confidence it gave her
• A breastfeeding struggle with severe tongue tie and swallow difficulties
• A breastfeeding struggle with severe acid reflux resulting in vomiting
• How our personal experiences impact the care we give as IBCLCs
