Holly J - Tandem Nursing & Supporting High-Risk Families
09/03/20 • 23 min
Holly is a mom of 3, two boys (8 & 10) and a 4 year old girl who can do just about anything her brothers can...while wearing a princess dress. Holly is passionate about her work through Parents as Teachers, where she visits with families to make sure that all children will learn, grow, and develop to realize their full potential. She is also a “Happier in Hollywood” fan, which is how we connected!
We discuss oversupply, cabbage leaves, Baby Led Weaning, tandem nursing, supporting at-risk moms and families, WIC peer counselors, the secret recipe for breastfeeding (spoiler alert: there are only two ingredients), kissing baby foreheads, and mom guilt related to having a second baby.

Previous Episode
Lauren - Lip Tie Surprise
My guest is Lauren, a wife and mom of two little girls, Elliana who is 2 1⁄2 and Charlotte who is 7 months old. She is also a social worker who works with adults with developmental disabilities and is trying to balance it all, just like everyone else.
We discuss painful nursing in the beginning, the barriers to meeting with a lactation consultant (emotional, mental, and logistics), finding out two years later that baby has a lip tie, comparing baby 2 to baby 1 and the guilt that comes with that, the amazing Haakaa (with lid!), dwindling supply, and more.

Sarah - It's the Best Thing I've Done
In this episode we hear from Sarah who says breastfeeding her children is the best thing she's done. We talk about how she flexed her work life to accommodate breastfeeding on demand, her feelings toward pumping (spoiler alert: she's not a fan), how to ignore misguided advice, the revelation that one can treat mastitis without antibiotics (and how the baby can actually save you), her experience nursing in-flight and her overall advice to be patient with yourself.
Sarah is a mom of two active, sweet boys, Oliver (4) and Jack (2.5), and runs her own family law practice in Montana. She and her husband are currently living a real life version of “Flip or Flop” as they renovate their new home together.

Emily
Hello and welcome to spilling the milk. The podcast where we talk about breastfeeding. You know the thing that moms have been doing since the beginning of time and yet it's still not really talked about as much as it needs to be.
We're here to fix that.
Emily
Today I'm speaking with Holly, a mom of three living in Delaware. Holly, and I connected in a Facebook group for one of our mutually favorite podcasts. Happier in Holly
