Have you ever felt as if your worth was determined by how many ounces you produced or by how you fed your babies? Did it feel like you were just a milk making machine and that every single feeding or pumping session determined your worth for that moment? As someone who supports families in the perinatal period, do you want to better support your clients’ whole health?
On this episode IBCLC Lo Nigrosh discusses
- milk making is not the primary focus of the perinatal period
- Worth is not determined by how much breastmilk or human milk you make
- How professionals can help someone who may be suffering from anxiety
- Fixation on milk supply
