“Honey, I was listening to the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast this morning. Dianne and Abby were talking about boundaries. I think that’s something I need.”

“Honey, what do you mean by boundaries? Do you want me to stay away from you?”

“Honey, not boundaries from you. Boundaries with breastfeeding. I have thought about this on days when I feel like I want to wean because I am just so overwhelmed. But I always feel guilty. Dianne and Abby explain it in a way that makes a lot of sense. I think we need this.”

“Ok honey. I will listen to the podcast today and get the details. Then I can help support you if this is what you want.”

This week on the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast, Dianne and Abby are discussing breastfeeding boundaries. This is a topic that is very important to Abby and can really help a lot with breastfeeding. You don’t want to miss this very supportive and informational episode!

The Secret Behind Those Breastmilk Storage Guidelines Dec 30, 2019

Show notes

Submit your question and we’ll answer it in a future episode!

“Honey, how long has this milk been sitting out?”

“Umm…about 4 hours I think.”

“WHAT?? 4 hours? Did you forget about it? Should I throw it away?”

“HONEY! NO. Never throw milk away. Human milk can sit out for more than 4 hours! I thought you knew that?”

“I did not know that. All I know is that you can freeze it. Where can I find information about the rest?”

“Well, lucky for you Dianne and Abby are talking about milk storage on the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast this week. You will get all the information you need about milk storage just from listening.”

“Perfect! I’ll do that now!”

Confused about milk storage? Not sure how long you can leave your milk out for, how long you can freeze it, or what to do if your partner leaves the door to the freezer open and 500 ounces of milk thaws by mistake (This last one actually happened to someone Dianne knows)? Tune in to the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast this week and get all the storage information you will ever need.

Happy Holidays!! Replay: Alcohol Consumption and Breastfeeding Dec 23, 2019

Show notes

Submit your question and we’ll answer it in a future episode!

This week we are taking a vacation to spend the holidays with our families! We will be replaying episode 24 Alcohol Consumption and Breastfeeding, our most popular episode. We will be back next week with an all new episode!
“Honey, Is that a white wine you are drinking with that fish and broccoli?! What are you doing? I thought you were a breastfeeder!!”
“I didn’t know!! Is that bad? It was only one glass!”
Listen this week as Dianne and Abby talk about alcohol consumption during breastfeeding. After you listen, maybe you can relax with a glass of wine!
P.S. There is a difference between having a glass of wine or a beer, and getting trashed. Drinking too much leads to bad decision-making. Please be careful and make good decisions with your baby…And don’t share a bed with your baby after drinking!!

Why Your Doctor Is Wrong About Breastfeeding Dec 16, 2019

Show notes

Submit your question and we’ll answer it in a future episode!

“Honey, our pediatrician told me that our little guy shouldn’t be eating as much as he is. And, I saw my OB/GYN today and he said I need to wean if I want to think about having another baby. I didn’t think that was something I needed to do. I am not ready to wean him yet, and I didn’t think he was eating too much – until today. I am so confused.”

“Honey, wait a minute. Why did the OB tell you that? We haven’t even talked about having more kids yet. Don’t even worry about that! And I’m pretty sure you don’t have to wean.”

“Really? UGH. I am just so tired of the mixed messages.”

“Honey, I listened to the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast this week. Did you? Dianne and Abby are talking about doctors, and how sometimes information can be confusing.”

“HA!! If Dianne and Abby are talking about doctors and breastfeeding, I’m sure they said more than that. I will tune in, I bet it will clear some things up for me.”

This week on the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast, Dianne and Abby are discussing how information from doctors can be misleading, confusing, and downright incorrect. How much lactation training do they get anyway?? You better listen to this week’s episode if you want to know more about that!

Submit your question and we’ll answer it in a future episode!

“Honey, at the holiday party tonight my aunt told me that the baby is using me as a pacifier. She said that he is feeding too often and he is just pacifying and I shouldn’t let him do that. Am I doing something wrong?”

“Honey, not at all. Before we had our little guy, I may have thought that too. But now, I know better. I was listening to the podcast yesterday and Dianne and Abby were talking about this exact thing! I wish you had listened before the holiday party, you would have felt much better about the whole thing.”

“I’m going to go listen right now. I hate doubting my instincts when it comes to our baby. The Badass Breastfeeding Podcast always makes me feel better about that!”

This week on the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast, Dianne and Abby are talking about the hated phrase “the baby is using you as a pacifier”. Where did this come from anyway? Tune in as Dianne and Abby talk about why this phrase should be ousted from society. Have you ever felt like this? Or has anyone ever told you that the baby is using you as a pacifier?

“Honey, I am so glad our little guy didn’t have jaundice.”

“Honey, what the heck is jaundice, anyway? I remember the doctor saying that he looked a ‘little jaundice’, but nothing to worry about. I never asked what all that meant.”

“I’m not really clear on all of it either, but I do know that it can make breastfeeding pretty difficult. Dianne and Abby are talking about jaundice on the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast this week. It’s pretty interesting, but I also feel upset for the mother and baby they were talking about. What a journey."

“I will have to go listen to it. I would like to know more about it – what if we need to know for the next baby?”

“Next baby???”

This week on the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast, Dianne and Abby are discussing jaundice. Do you know about jaundice? If not, you definitely want to tune in and learn more about this. Did you experience jaundice with your baby? If so, you definitely want to tune in and listen to the experience one family had with their baby.
