Did you feel frazzled at your first pediatrician’s appointment? Did you cling to your baby feeding goals because your birth didn’t turn out the way you hoped? Kaitlin McGreyes of Be Her Village tells three very different breastfeeding stories that showed varying levels of support. But one thing rang true throughout– the levels of support she felt and didn’t feel made it clear that she wanted to change how much support other parents felt, and she wanted to do that starting in pregnancy, and wanted to make support a part of the mainstream conversation.On this episode you will hear themes related to:

• Being disappointed in your birth story
• Clinging to your breastfeeding outcomes as a result of your birth outcomes
• The importance of finding a pediatrician who truly supports human milk feeding
• Remembering that pediatricians work for parents
• Every baby is different
• How emotional baby feeding can be even years after the fact
• Baby registries and big box stores don’t talk to families about support
• Helping families get support paid for
• FPIES in the breastfeeding infant
• Finding your own diagnosis
