In this special interview, I’m joined by my Feeding Foundations co-author and lactation consultant, Krista Cassel, to dive deep into the essentials every breastfeeding mom should know.
Krista walks us through her HEART Method for latch success, breaking down each step in a way that’s simple, supportive, and actually doable in real life. We talk about the nuances of getting a good latch, what to watch for, and how small tweaks can make a big difference for comfort and milk transfer.
Whether you’re a new mom just starting your breastfeeding journey or looking to troubleshoot common challenges, this conversation is full of insights to help you feed your baby with more ease and less stress.
🤍 Listen in, and let’s make your feeding experience feel better for both you and your little one.
