Amber Smith is wife to country music star, Granger Smith, and mom to 4 kids. Today’s conversation is a really, really heavy one...and may be triggering for anyone who has experienced miscarriages, stillbirth, infant loss or loss on any level. In 2019 Amber and her husband experienced the unthinkable when they lost their son River at the age 3 in a drowning accident. In today’s episode, Amber talks through how they have walked through their grief, how they’ve found meaning in tragedy, and how she’s bringing awareness to swim safety and ISR (infant safety rescue) so no parent has to go through what they went through. We recorded this episode the day after the Uvalde shooting so emotions were raw. Grab your tissue and open your heart because today’s episode is a difficult one but a special one.

Infant Feeding 101: Breaking Down Breastfeeding and Formula
MeaningFull Living
03/29/21 • 55 min
Hayley gets personal as she shares her own candid experience with breastfeeding and formula, how she decided which was right for her, and the major physical and emotional toll of postpartum. In the second half of the episode, Jess breaks down everything you need to know about feeding your newborn and baby with confidence: the benefits of breastmilk, destigmatizing formula, how to know if your baby’s getting enough, when and how to give a bottle, mastitis, nutrition for mom and baby, increasing your supply, and what to look for when choosing a formula.
Donor Milk: It’s important to find donated milk from a trusted source as breastmilk sold over the internet is strongly discouraged by the Academy of Breastfeedings 2017 Position Statement because the donor is unknown, the donors health is not screened, and the breastmilk is often not safely handled in the process of sharing. Below are some trusted resources. It is also always advised to ask your healthcare provider (OB-GYN, primary care physician, midwife, and/or certified lactation consultant).
You can also donate your breastmilk for critically ill or premature infants to thrive at Prolacta.
