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.

Favorite Bottles: Stay tuned for all our favorite infant feeding products and resources launching on our website early April.

Hayley’s husband, Tyler Hubbard, and Dr. Aliza Pressman from Raising Good Humans are both back to have a really honest and vulnerable conversation about obedience and spanking. Tyler opens up about being spanked as a child, changing how he communicates with his kids, and the difference between encouraging compliance versus building trust with his children. We also explore the effect different punishment styles have on our kids, the importance of logical consequences, and how boundaries are a communication of love.

Whether you grew up with spanking or not or are a new parent or seasoned parent, this honest conversation about discipline, communication, and boundaries is one you won’t want to miss.
