It's been an anxious time for all of us-- not knowing how this COVID-19 outbreak will play out and when life as we know it, will resume. If adults are feeling the strain of working from home, self-isolating, home schooling, and the concern of getting sick with this dangerous virus, imagine how the children around you processing this? Some, are probably doing just fine. Others, aren't. On this episode of "All Good in the Motherhood" we interviewed Dr. Rachel Busman, who is the senior director of the anxiety disorders center at the child mind institute... a leading voice on pediatric mental health issues. This conversation focuses on this current outbreak and how it can be stress and anxiety producing. Specifically, how you, as a parent, should address it with your kids. And if their angst can manifest into a long term issue. Dr. Busman has provided us with a list of really good articles and resources that parents should check out, if they are concerned about the impact this is having on their kids, including virtual counseling sessions with the child mind institute.

14: The secrets of breast feeding with Sheri Bayles Nov 21, 2018

Moms and Dads, I’m going to let you in on a little secret breastfeeding is the dirty little secret of new motherhood for SOME moms… and I’m one of them. Since the day my son was born, I have felt a real sense of responsibility towards breastfeeding…and a real guilt when my 4 day old son went on a nursing strike. I have laughed, cried and screamed over breastfeeding. There are days where I have loved being able to provide for my child in this way—and others where I thought, WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING? I committed to it in the hospital and I’m not a quitter… but to call it natural is honestly, comical. I knew from the get-go I needed help. So I called on the best person I could think of: [Sheri Bayles](http://laughandlearn.com/about/) who happens to be one of the most well-known lactation consultants in the new York city area. Look, she primed me during labor and Matthew flew out of me in 3 pushed/5 minutes. If she could work that magic I thought, SURELY she’ll help me breastfeed. We’re taking a look back on my breastfeeding journey and what a ride it’s been. It’s my true honor to introduce you to Sheri Bayles.
