Lo’s Lactation Lab

Have you been dieting since you were a child or young teenager? What impact has this had on your own body image? Do you wish your body looked like it did before you had babies? Amanda Mittman is a registered dietician, intuitive eating coach and body image coach who helps us to dissect how to both trust our own bodies to do what they need to do and validate the feelings of negative body image during the perinatal period.

On this episode Amanda and Lo discuss:

• Amanda’s own journey to end caloric deprivation and dieting
• The impact of pregnancy and the postpartum period on our bodies
• The negative impacts of diet culture
• Defining health at every size

Why is it that childbirth education focuses so much on the hours of birth and delivery and so little on what happens once you bring your baby home? Isn’t all the birth preparation supposed to set you up for success in the postpartum period? Why is it that so many people feel shocked by what it is really like to have a baby? It is possible to know more and prepare more for the postpartum period. And it’s possible to think about your birth options as either contributing to positive or negative postpartum outcomes. Here are the things I wish every person knew before giving birth that will help them feel better once the baby is here.

On this episode Lo discusses:

• Common misconceptions about breast milk
• Common misconceptions about what is “normal” for newborns
• The reality of baby sleeping patterns
• A solution to help you feel more prepared

Did you get really invasive questions asked of you during the perinatal period? Were you asked about your breasts, how you were going to feed your baby, where the baby was going to sleep, or about circumcision? Why do we put new families under the microscope and think it is our business to ask and/or critique the choices they are making that are right for their family?

On this episode Lo discusses:

• Some of the invasive questions that get asked during the perinatal period
• What to say to show you are curious and supportive without being invasive
• Asks you to share the invasive questions that were asked of you at this time!

Did you ever know someone who suffered from low milk supply? Were they able to identify the root cause? It can be so hard to desperately want to feed your baby, and be unable to do so.

On this episode Michelle and Lo discuss:

• The difficulty of knowing whether or not your baby is transferring milk
• A baby hospitalization for dehydration
• Using donor breast milk
• Pumping and formula feeding
• Mental Health Screening Tools for all perinatal professionals
