Lactation care of the late preterm baby is different

The Evolve Lactation Podcast ·

2023/09/25

When we think about supporting exclusive breastfeeding in healthy term babies, we start from the default that exclusive breastfeeding works, that most people make all the milk that they need, that there are a set of practices that we do to make sure that happens, and there are the outcomes we look for to make sure that everything's going well. We observe and pay attention to ensure that, and we stand ready to assist if a problem arises. However, for a certain subset of babies, that’s not a smart

Finding Ways to Trick Lactation Care Providers

If you are getting into the field of lactation care, you need to be ready for the trickery. Be prepared.The marketing deception, the lies, the outright bribery - it’s all coming at you. They’re just waiting to capture your attention and divert you from the science.Marketing works; that’s why companies spend money on it. It works on everyone. Works on me, that’s for sure. It’s why I drink a certain kind of sparkling water and wear a certain kind of tank top. Maybe for you, it’s about the car you

It seems so simple

Something is missing in modern parenthood. Parents find a lot of messaging in their lives but not a lot of actual information about how to implement things. Social media is an easy structure on which to place blame, but truly all media holds some responsibility. Cherry-picked research articles framed in ways to grab attention, advertising space offered to anyone who can pay, mis- and dis-information peddlers protected by free speech - these all play a role in how parents are constantly shown bits

making more milk with less stuff

2023/06/29

The proliferation of tools and devices designed to be used during lactation has occurred without an accompanying body of research to support it. Parents are receiving hundreds to thousands of marketing messages for these products during pregnancy and lactation, a time when they are especially vulnerable to being influenced about making buying decisions that they are told can impact their ability to breastfeed. In fact, any tool or device designed to support lactation can have a negative impact if

why we, ourselves, need post-lactation counseling

The Evolve Lactation Podcast ·

2023/06/26

It was with our second cohort of teaching future lactation educators that my colleague and I realized that some of our students needed more than just knowledge and information. They were in tears as they absorbed the information about how human lactation works and best practices. Some were angry, too, that they were given bad information when they were trying to breastfeed. They followed us into the restroom to talk about their personal journeys, they sat with us at lunch and let their stories

2023/06/08

There isn’t anything you can say about breastfeeding in our culture that won’t be met with vitriol and accusations. It can be true, it can be your personal experience, it can be the literal results of a well-done scientific study that was not funded by industry or anyone with a financial or reputational stake in the outcome. If you say “breastfeeding,” it will be met with polite argument at best, insult and accusation at worst. We know this is where we are, and we work really hard to create

I finally figured it out. Over the past five years, I’ve been creating so many presentations and tracking so many ideas. I want to make these presentations accessible to more people, and I also want to keep creating new ways to share what I know and what I have learned. Learning from podcasts - from just listening to experts talk through things - has become such a huge part of my life, and I feel like it would be such a great way for others to learn and keep building their lactation knowledge.

Nuance and The Truth in Lactation Support

The Evolve Lactation Podcast ·

2023/04/28

I attended an in-person conference and came away with some big realizations about the state of our work and advocacy. There have been some big shifts in this field which have led us to a place where new parents are becoming more likely to be encouraged to feed human milk than they are to breastfeed, regardless of what their own plans are and outside of the realm of informed decision-making. There are some huge gaps in understanding and some really influential marketing problems creating a growing

Just a taste of the wisdom Amy Porterfield, online course creation and marketing expert, shared with me in our conversation recently: “I can promise you that you are really good in one specific area, if not more, in your industry. There's more money to be made - and a bigger impact you can make - when you figure out your thing, what it is that you are really good at in your area of expertise.” On marketing: “Don't expect yourself to know this!
