Ep. 243: What to Know about Mastitis with Lara Proud, RN

Author: HeHe Stewart February 21, 2024 Duration: 44:02
  Today's episode is featuring Lara Proud, RN, who is joining HeHe to discuss the signs + symptoms of Mastitis, what professionals can help & what options you have for remedying it! We also dive into preventative measures and what to consider when it comes to antibiotic use with Mastitis!    Lara’s Bio:  Beyond The Bump was started when Lara Proud went on maternity leave with her son in 2018. As a Registered Nurse, Lara was blown away by the lack of local resources for prenatal classes, postpartum support, and didn’t want anyone else to have to struggle like she did with breastfeeding. Beyond The Bump is located on the East Coast of Canada in Fredericton, New Brunswick serving all across Canada virtually and in-person locally. Her biggest goal is to empower parents in their decisions surrounding all things birth and parenting and help them feel prepared and supported along the way!   Connect with Lara on IG   Connect with HeHe on IG   Join HeHe’s FREE CLASS that shares How to Avoid a C-Section & Reduce Tearing in Labor here!   Resources: ACOG: https://www.acog.org/clinical/clinical-guidance/committee-opinion/articles/2021/02/breastfeeding-challenges   Breastfeeding Medicine: https://www.bfmed.org/assets/ABM%20Protocol%20%2336.pdf Le Leche League: https://lllusa.org/mastitis-updated-la-leche-league-usa-resource-page/
