Amy was a NICU nurse before she was a parent, and she still didn’t know what she didn’t know when it came to breastfeeding. She has five human milk feeding experiences to share, all VERY DIFFERENT. From the perfect first experience to low supply to the second, most likely due to a stressful work environment and a misunderstanding about the difference between pumping supply and at-the-body supply, to exclusive pumping for surrogate twins and then having two more babies both with painful latches as a result of tongue tie.On this episode you will hear themes related to:

Being dismissed by lactation consultants
The impact a work environment can have on supply
Learning more as you go
Self-compassion
Importance of proper flange sizing for good pumping milk supply
