Episode 81 Learning to Ask for What You Need as a Nursing and Pumping Working Mom with Jen Larimore of Mom First
Jen Larimore is a Mom First and lawyer turned life coach who realized that in order for whatever she was doing to work for herself and for her family, that she had to be able to find some amount of joy. She has five children, and five very different breastfeeding stories, and over time she learned to ask for the support she needed.
On this episode you will hear Jen discuss:
How decisions in the hospital impacted breastfeeding
How temperament of her children impacted breastfeeding
Learning to stand up for what she needed at work so she could produce enough milk
Learning a lesson from about postpartum rest from a relative from another culture
Being OK with how things turn out, even if it wasn’t what was hoped for
Remembering that breastfeeding is not only about her experience, but about her baby’s experience too
