Longterm Breastfeeding Benefits: Understanding your goals

In this episode of the Milk Minute, Maureen shares a fascinating study published in June that digs into the longterm benefits of breastfeeding—a question we hear often from our patients. We’ll break down the findings and chat about how science backs up all those reasons breastfeeding is so good for both you and your baby. As we wrap up the year, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what we've learned and how it connects to our breastfeeding goals. Tune in for some helpful insights and a little end-of-year reflection!

Listener question: I need help preventing an oversupply. My son is only a few days old, but my milk came in with full force. I’m so engorged and try to pump a little for relief. I do want a stash, but I know this early pumping can be an issue. How do I keep from getting mastitis without causing oversupply?
