Episode 58 Surviving and Even Thriving While Breastfeeding During the Holidays
Are you worried about the holidays and how it will impact baby feeding and your connection with your baby? So many of us have dealt with people asking us to cover up, go into a different room, or making off-handed comments about how frequently the baby needs to nurse. Are you a lactation supporter who would like to provide a dose of inspiration to those you support as they head into the busy holiday season. Then tune into my top tips for navigating the holidays with a nursing baby or toddler and getting to the other side with grace, joy or at the very least sanity.
On this episode hear Lo’s top tips for navigating the holidays (and any gathering of people) while feeding your baby or toddler. They include:
-Setting boundaries for yourself and others
-Asking for what you need
-Permission to say “no thanks” to covering up
-Using nursing as an excuse to get away from the crowd!
-Facts about the changing composition of human milk that is perfect for a growing toddler!
