238: Benefits of Private Lactation Support vs Hospital Based Lactation Support

238: Benefits of Private Lactation Support vs Hospital Based Lactation Support

Author: HeHe Stewart February 5, 2024 Duration: 57:20
In today’s episode, HeHe sits down with Lo Nigrosh, an IBCLC, to dive into what you need to know about hospital provided lactation support vs private lactation support! Lo is breaking down how to hire an IBCLC, why you may want to explore this option *before* your baby gets here, what to do if you are getting conflicting lactation advice and how hospital culture impacts the care you may be given in the hospital. We also dive into how your nurses own lactation and feeding journey with their baby impacts their lactation support they give to you!    Guest Bio: Lo Nigrosh lives in Athol, Ma in a log cabin on 5 acres with her husband Max, 2 children, 1 dog and 2 cats. It was her own intense struggle to breastfeed her oldest that led her to birth and lactation work, but it was listening to the struggles of so many others that has kept her here. As an IBCLC she focuses on helping each client feel proud of every ounce they make, and to recognize each hurdle they unfairly faced. The Milk Making Minutes Podcast explores baby feeding struggles and triumphs through the lens of systemic medical and cultural barriers so that you understands that your body did not fail and your successes really are the miracles you felt they were.   Connect with Lo in IG https://www.instagram.com/lonigrosh_ibclc_podcast_host/   Join The Birth Lounge!  https://www.thebirthlounge.com     In-Person Childbirth Education, Boston MA: https://www.thebirthlounge.com/cbe-baby-booty
