What  effect has patriarchy had on breastfeeding and  lactation? How have we managed to get to a place where the business of making milk is steeped in classism,  sexism and racism,  and where corporations, government, the media and cultural norms have more influence over whether we succeed at feeding our babies than we do? Join me for a discussion with midwife and international  board-certified lactation consultant Lara Olchanetzky Duke, as we unpick all of these issues and more. PLUS, hear Lara describe her relactation journey, as she  went through the months-long process of making milk for a close friend's baby.
