Breast Milk Supply - Is baby getting enough milk? Episode 317

Did you know that one of the most common reasons that moms stop breastfeeding is fear of not having enough milk?

How do we know if a baby is getting enough milk?

In this special encore episode, you will learn how much milk a baby actually needs, how we know there is enough, myths about milk supply, and signals that may indicate when further help is needed.

This information is for parents and for professionals who care for breastfeeding parents. Even if you are not a lactation consultant, it is vital for you to be able to either reassure your patients, give them simple ways to ensure adequate milk transfer, or refer them for expert lactation care.

I’ve included a list of risk factors to be aware of, simple interventions if low milk supply is suspected, and the role of the IBCLC in milk supply assessment and treatment.

Real life stories about tongue tie - Sarah's journey: Special Encore Episode 319

Today you'll hear about our gratitude sale: Professional's Guide to Tongue Tie in the Breastfeeding Infant is half price for my birthday this year.

This week's episode features a warrior parent.

The true experts on tongue tie are the parents - especially those who have struggled to find answers for their child's feeding challenges, and wind up learning so much that they can educate the providers who are supposed to be caring for them.

In this episode, Lisa interviews Sarah B. about her journey to feed her fourth child.

Sarah is a mom whose journey was difficult. As you'll hear in this episode, she was told by an MD that her daughter didn't have a tongue tie. Her daughter was having such struggles to feed, by breast and bottle, that it took a feeding tube to rescue her. But still no one answered Sarah's question of why her daughter couldn't feed, until at age 7 months when a lactation consultant pointed her in the right direction for functional assessment and release of tongue and lip tie.

It is my wish that by hearing stories such as Sarah's, families will feel heard, know they aren't alone, and be inspired to always search for answers.
