Episode 137 When You Have To Fight To Feed Your Milk to Your Baby with Tanius Posey
08/21/23 • 56 min
1 Listener
Did you have to fight for your milk supply? Did you have to fight to make choices for your baby that you felt were right in the hospital and during the postpartum period? Did the stress of the postpartum period inhibit your milk supply? Think about how regularly this applies in any ordinary circumstance, and then add to that the stress of being a transgender man choosing to feed his baby his own milk in a place where even the medical professionals who were supposed to be providing healthcare often gave biased information and refused to provide evidence based lactation care.
