Ep. 37 Holding Space for your feeding struggles and triumphs with Lo Nigrosh, podcast host and IBCLC
Lo Nigrosh is a mom of two kids ages 8 and 4. She is a retired Paralympian who helped her team win a bronze medal in 2004 in Athens, but feels every bit as old as she is now at the age of 41. It was her intense first birth which made her feel even more disabled than she is, that made her consider a different way to birth her second, and insist that every person she encounters as a lactation consultant be treated as an individual. She is the host of The Milk Making Minutes, a podcast that explores breastfeeding struggles and triumphs through the lens of systemic barriers.
