Episode 22 Birth Setting Matters: Getting Ready for Breastfeeding While Pregnant (It's not What You Think)
Our last episode highlighted how giving birth in a birthing center allowed for better success in breastfeeding due to a more relaxed atmosphere and more individualized support being readily available.
Homebirth or giving birth in a birthing center isn’t always an option for everyone, so it’s important to set yourself up for a successful breastfeeding journey when drawing up your birthing plan. There are resources available to you, you just have to be prepared for them, know what they are, and where to find them prior to going into labor.
Join us for a quick hit episode for tips on how to ask for lactation support, who to ask for, and who to call. Preparation can go a long way in these cases. Taking your breastfeeding experience into your own hands will only be beneficial for you and your baby.
