We're in the thick of Breastfeeding Month and so what better way to celebrate than to talk about all the different weeks of celebration that you can join in on AND why you need to book a lactation consult yourself?

Skip the online chat forum because a cookie and some tea are not going to solve the root cause of your lactation troubles. Listen in to today's episode for why.

No lactation journey is the same, but each one encounters unique ups and downs — one for many is a protein allergy to something in the breastmilk. So in today's episode, we chat with Dr. Trill about infant allergies, the difference between an allergy and sensitivity, and how to figure our what your baby may be allergic to with founder of Free to Feed, Dr. Trill.

Dr. Trillitye (Dr. Trill) Paullin, PhD, is a distinguished cellular and molecular biologist with a focus on the molecular components of human milk. She is an Operation Iraqi Freedom Veteran, currently serving her 19th year in the Army National Guard, and is the CEO and co-founder of Free to Feed. Dr. Trill's passion for empowering parents on their lactation journey was ignited after her own daughters experienced food reactions to proteins transferred from her diet to breast milk. Determined to provide the research, resources, and support she lacked during that challenging time, she founded Free to Feed alongside Dr. LaChiana Hamilton, DNP. Dr. Trill's groundbreaking work in breastfeeding and food reactivity has garnered grant funding from renowned institutions, including the National Science Foundation. She has collaborated with renowned research institutions such as Stanford University and the University of Idaho, contributing significantly to the expanding body of research surrounding lactation. Her innovative contributions include the invention of the first at-home test kit to detect allergens in human milk, which is currently in the manufacturing phase. This test kit is part of Free to Feed's comprehensive offering, which includes an educational support package, a tracking app, and personal consultations, all designed to support and empower parents on their lactation journey.

Breastmilk has been referred to as "magic milk" and though it is, it's actually a whole process more than simply milk, which is why is so unique. In today's episode, Shari shares her own lactation journey and talks about the many reasons breastmilk consists of more than the milk itself.

Pregnancy & birth are kind of like a surprise party that you know about — you have an idea of what to expect but truly no idea what it will be like and what's coming. This was definitely true of my recent birth experience, too! In today's episode, I'm sharing the pregnancy and birth story of my 6th child, born on 6/21/2024 at home.

We all know that pregnancy and birth change us emotionally and physically, but getting comfortable sharing the details isn't something a lot of new parents do. In today's episode, you'll hear from four different newly postpartum moms as they share what the transition to postpartum has been like for them and how it has affected their image of self. These recordings are from The Sacramento Postpartum Body Project — a project created by Shari at Navigating Parenthood where she interviewed each new mama and Ronnie Joy of Joy Lifestyle Photography took photos of them as they were in that moment of postpartum with their babies.
