AAB 213 Breastfeeding: GOLD lactation with Master of Ceremonies Fiona Lange Sharpe Oct 20, 2017

Show notes

Fiona shares her journey into becoming an IBCLC. Like so many of us who came into this profession, it was the birth of her first son that sparked her interest in helping other mothers breastfeed. When she was in the UK, Fiona worked in maternal health. The standard of care at that time was for moms to breastfeed for 6 weeks. She was living in Toronto at the time she had her first baby. The expectation was for her to breastfeed for 6 weeks. Fiona shares in detail how she broke that mold, went on to breastfeed longer than expected and increased her breastfeeding knowledge as she had more babies and grew into motherhood. Fiona gives very detailed information on the roles and titles of the various breastfeeding helpers and how she has been able to clearly define the roles to mothers she meets. We also learn how a chance meeting with a representative from GOLD Online led to her current position with GOLD.

AAB 212 Breastfeeding: Pregnancy, breastfeeding classes Oct 16, 2017

Show notes

Not knowing anyone who breastfed their baby, or never having seen another woman breastfeed her baby, I had no frame of reference , no role models in the breastfeeding arena. There was 1 book on the library shelf and it was The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, written by a group of woman from La Leche League. I did not get this book until after my daughter was born. So, the breastfeeding class was the only place I received information on preparing for breastfeeding and what to expect when my baby was born. There were many days and nights that were filled with painful breastfeeding and major sleep deprivation. I learned a lot along the way. Humor was helpful. My baby getting bigger was helpful. It took us a while, but soon breastfeeding became enjoyable and easy. Through my experience I learned to work hard to not judge another mother for the choices she makes. We are all doing the best we can. I choose to focus on education and support.

AAB 210 Rebroadcast of our very first show introducing Lori J Isenstadt IBCLC Oct 09, 2017

Show notes

All About Breastfeeding, the place where the girls hang out has been a dream of mine for quite a long time. I may not have had the exact title in mind, however, I did know exactly what my goals for this show was long before the very first episode. I am happy to say that each Season I am able to meet my goals and provide you, my faithful listeners with an incredible amount of breastfeeding education... all FREE to you. During our few weeks break here at All About Breastfeeding, you will get to hear some of the earlier shows I recorded. Todays show is the very first show in which I talk about my Why. Why did I want to host this show and what was my motivation. While the show has evolved, my reasons for doing so have never waivered. I started off with a small group of people listening in just a few states, to now thousands of soon to be moms, new mothers, moms of 1,2 or more children. Lactation professionals and others in the field of lactation and maternal health, along with journalists and book authors and physicians and midwives. They are all listening to the show, which is now heard in well over 100 countries. I stopped counting a few months ago and I think this will be one of my jobs to update this info during my break. We will be back on October 30th with Season 7 and some brand new interviews. For right now, please enjoy the very first show I brought to you.

AAB 209 Birth Matters Every birth is unique. Have a plan A and a plan B Oct 06, 2017

Show notes

Each birth is unique. I had different pregnancies and 3 very different births. Some labors are fast and intense, as was my 3rd labor and some are very long, drawn-out events perhaps lasting for several days from start to finish. Some moms make firm decisions ahead of time to have a medicated birth and to their dismay get to the hospital too late for any pain medication as their labor was quicker then they thought it would be. Other moms plan a homebirth and need to be transferred during labor as they needed the assistance of medical intervention and the skills of a physician who could offer a surgical birth.

Show notes

AAB 207 Birth Matters Baby Friendly Designation Sep 29, 2017

Show notes

I have had the opportunity to witness first hand how birth impacts early breastfeeding. Observing mothers in hospitals, birthing centers and at homebirths has been quite eye opening to me. I have attended these births as a friend, as a birth doula and as a lactation consultant. I have witnessed first hand, many of the situations that Mary talks about in her book. Today, I would like to highlight one very important area that I feel we are still lacking in and that doesn't get enough attention

AAB 205 Birth Matters and how it effects mothers breastfeeding Sep 22, 2017

Show notes

This speaks to our confidence to labor, to birth, to breastfeed and to mother our babies. I speak to countless new mothers every single week. Yes, every single week. Here is what they are telling me, over and over again. Some are using the same words, totally unsolicited. New mothers are telling me, as the tears are rolling down their cheeks, that they are feeling like their bodies have failed them in labor and birth.
