Breastfeeding can be a beautiful part of the new mom experience but it can also be daunting and disappointing. This week on the podcast, certified lactation consultant Katie Kennedy, IBCLC, talks with me about what mamas can do to set themselves up for breastfeeding success (and what success really means when it comes to this sensitive area)


...and what they can do if it feeding their babies doesn’t go as planned.
