In this episode, Lindsay discusses why nursing and lactation often fail in modern society. She explains that the high rate of complications in birth and low nursing rates can be attributed to the disruption of the natural mammalian biology of birth.
Lindsay emphasizes the importance of immediate bonding and imprinting between Mother and baby after birth, and how this process is often disrupted in hospital settings. She highlights the permanent negative impact of separating Mothers and babies, and the need for a supportive and non-disruptive birthing environment to ensure successful nursing and milk supply.
Key Takeaways:
1. Nursing and lactation often fail due to the disruption of the natural mammalian biology of birth.
2. Separating mothers and babies after birth disrupts the bonding and imprinting process, leading to low milk supply and difficulties with latching.
3. Hospital settings and routine procedures in obstetrics contribute to the disruption of the natural birthing process.
4. Mothers should advocate for a non-disruptive birthing environment and immediate bonding with their babies to ensure successful nursing and milk supply.
Quotes:
- "The number one cause for low lactation rates, low milk supply, and low nursing rates is disruption."
- "If we disrupt the environment where we give birth and the people within that environment, we sabotage the imprinting process that is essential for successful nursing and milk supply."
- "Our nursing rates and lactation problems are a result of the disruption caused by hospital birth and the lack of support for the natural mammalian biology of birth."
