We are facing yet again another crisis in our healthcare, this time directly affecting the lives and development of babies. There are very valid reasons as to why a woman chooses not to breastfeed and it is our job as women to support them in and through that decision. In this episode, I explain why there is a shortage, and what we can do to help ease the pressure on moms, primarily through the help of other women inducing lactation and or relactating to donate to a baby in our lives. Tune in to this very important episode to find out what we CAN do and what we CANNOT do. Takes a village ladies.

Previous Episode

Sprinkle Some Booby Fairy Dust

In this episode, Danielle opens up about her first few weeks as a mom, and how her little barracuda baby inspired her to finally write "The Booby Fairy's Guide To Breastfeeding". She shares the first chapter of her book, as raw and vulnerable as it is, as she guides you through the very beginnings of her journey. We talk about how bottle feeding pumped milk is still breastfeeding, and the pressure we all face to become the perfect breastfeeder. 'Mom guilt' is real, but each day is a new beginning with the help of the booby fairy.
