Did you have someone make comments about the size or shape of your breasts or nipples while breastfeeding? Have you heard the term elastic nipples? Do you think some people have “good equipment” for breastfeeding and some have “bad equipment” for breastfeeding? IBCLC Lo Nigrosh discusses the things people say to breastfeeding moms about their breasts that just aren’t helpful.
On this episode you will hear:
  • How breasts need to be brought into the movement to be appreciate body shapes and sizes
  • Things Lo has actually heard from postpartum professionals about mutual clients’ breasts
  • Why making blanket statements about breasts or nipples can interfere with breastfeeding
  • What can be said or relayed instead to provide useful information about the size and shape of nipples as it relates to breastfeeding
