New to breastfeeding or wondering if you’re doing it right? In this episode of the Early-Momming Podcast, Hillary (RN, IBCLC, mom of four) breaks down the foundations of breastfeeding in those critical early weeks. From how milk supply actually works to what a functional latch looks like, this is your no-fluff, evidence-based guide to feeding your baby with confidence.
Whether you’re currently pregnant or in the thick of newborn life, you’ll walk away knowing:
How milk production really works—and how to protect your supply from Day 1
What a functional feeding rhythm sounds like (and what to do if it’s not happening)
Why your baby waking constantly could be a feeding issue
Red flags most moms miss—and what to do instead
When to ask for help and who to turn to for non-judgy, evidence-based support
We also bust some common myths around nipple shields, milk drying up overnight, and whether you need to chug a gallon of water a day.
