Dating While Breastfeeding: Stories of lactating singles Apr 26, 2024

Today on the Milk Minute we wanted to give a nod to all of our breastfeeding friends who are dating and doing their best to find a balance as a single parent. This shit ain’t easy and no one is talking about it. Heather became a single parent when her first child was 10 months old and he had self-weaned. However, dating with an infant was extremely challenging. Add breastfeeding onto that and it’s a whole new level. We wanted to read some stories of brave listeners who dated and lactated at the same time and give you a glimpse into that world. Enjoy!
This concludes our season of Milk Minute Podcast. Don't worry, we'll be back in August! If there's something specific that you want us to work on or some episode that you want us to do, you can email us directly at MilkMinutePodcast@gmail.com

Is Breast Best? Interview with Victoria Facelli, IBCLC, Author of Feed the Baby Mar 01, 2024

Breast is best. We've all heard it, now let's talk about it. Today the Milk Minute is honored to have Victoria Facelli, author of "Feed the Baby: an inclusive guide to nursing, bottle feeding, and everything in between" on the show to discuss her incredible book. This is the kind of book that Heather and Maureen have dreamed of writing and is the perfect step-by-step guide to feeding your baby, complete with illustrations and videos.
Victoria Facelli is an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant, but not the kind that hates formula. She wrote this book to cut through a lot of the misinformation that parents are faced with, as a resource to empower parents to feed their babies in whatever way works for them!

Encore: Let's Talk Nipple Shields Jan 12, 2024

"Is it bad that I'm using a nipple shield? Should I use a nipple shield? Is it something that should be in everybody's baby shower gift basket, or is this a medical device?"

Does this sound like you? These are some of the most frequent questions Heather and Maureen get during consults, so here's a little refresher on the hot topic. Make sure you pass this episode along to your friends who are having a baby as well.

Ahh... nipple shields! Some call them friends, some call them foes. This episode covers it all!

Listen in as Maureen and Heather talk through nipple shields, what they are, how and when to properly use them and how to help wean baby off of the shield once they are able to get a great latch without it. Don't miss this one!

Delivery Story: Heather HAD A BABY! Dec 01, 2023

We interrupt your scheduled Milk Minute episodes to bring you a special birthday announcement! Our little podcast baby arrived just after 39 weeks and we made a special little recording just for you.

If this is your first time listening, here’s a recap: Nine months ago Heather surprised Maureen by announcing her pregnancy on the Milk Minute and asking Maureen to be her (homebirth) midwife. From this Beyond the Boob was born; a spin off from the Milk Minute where we took time to just focus on the pregnancy.

Since then its been a wild ride of TMI, prenatal education, and so much more. Today we bring you a very anticipated episode where we document the last prenatal and birth of the baby! While this isn’t the full birth story, we kept a mic set up for updates during labor and kept a little captain's log just for you. Enjoy some birth deets and raw emotions and get excited for the full story next week!!

If you want to hear the birth story and every other week of Beyond the Boob there’s still time to subscribe on Apple Podcasts or on our Patreon at www.patreon.com/milkminutepodcast

How to Support your Breastfeeding Friends: Interview with a Childless-Auntie Jul 07, 2023

Join Heather and Maureen for a feminist frolic to Spinster City as they interview Heather's single, childfree friend Abigail.

The gals talk building community and finding support from childfree friends in unexpected ways - especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

This episode is a wild ride with your two favorite midwives & lactation ladies. Venturing into the socio-political sphere, Heather and Maureen kvetch about the patriarchy, 19th century Supreme Court decisions, and why everybody has to poop at Barnes & Noble.

Am I Making Skim Milk!? Human milk fat and infant weight gain Jun 16, 2023

Has anyone ever told you that you need to change your diet to make more fat in your milk? Maybe it was a pediatric provider suggesting that if you could only increase the fat content of your milk, your baby would gain weight properly. Or maybe you saw someone post a picture of a thicc fat plug on their pumped milk, promising that you could have one too if only you did X, Y, and Z!

Well today your podcast besties dig into the science of lipidology in human milk! What kind of fats we have in our milk, how our babies use them, and how it really affects infant weight gain. This one does have some good data and we hope it's reassuring for you!

Insufficient Glandular Tissue Apr 21, 2023

Have you ever received a diagnosis of Insufficient Glandular Tissue? Maybe it was suggested after you weren’t able to produce a full milk supply with your last baby. Or the term was tossed out casually when a provider looked at your breasts prenatally.

IGT can be a scary and confusing thing to hear, particularly when you have the goal of exclusive breastfeeding! Today on the Milk Minute Heather and Maureen chat about what IGT is and what it might mean for you.

How much milk can you actually make with IGT? What can you expect? Do you need to breastfeed differently if you suspect you have IGT?

Join the Milk Minute to get the answers to these questions and more today on any podcast platform.

Fenugreek, is it our friend or foe?
If you’re making milk you’ve probably noticed advertisements for herbal supplements to “boost” your supply, or maybe you see lactation cookies and shakes online or at the store. Many, many of these include an herb called Fenugreek as a key ingredient; but does it help? Does it hurt? How do you know whether or not this herb is for you?
Tune into the Milk Minute today and join Heather and Maureen to look into the history and current use of this herb, exploring its cultural significance and its clinical study.

PPD/PPA Medications and Breastfeeding May 06, 2022

Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety: two things that affect more parents today than ever before (or maybe they're finally just talked about more). Are you on the fence about medication for mental health? This episode will hopefully shine some light on the hang-ups.

We want to start off by saying that this is NOT a debate over whether you should or should not take medication while breastfeeding. Today we go over several medication options for PPD/PPA and share how they might affect your breastfeeding journey. As always, talk to your healthcare provider about getting the right meds to help you feel your best and ultimately be the best parent.

Ep. 102- Cannabis and Breastfeeding Apr 01, 2022

Correction/Apology:
We have learned since the publication of this episode that use of the term ‘marjiuana’ in this country has its roots in racism and xenophobia. A lot of harm has been done to the Mexican American community and other minority communities with use of this word at the forefront of an ‘anti-drug’ movement meant to play off of anti-immigrant sentiments. We sincerely thank the listener who emailed in to tell us, and apologize for using the word without understanding. We are sorry for any harm that has caused.
Language is powerful and complicated, and we are always open to changing the way we use words in order to reduce harm. If you hear and episode and think, “that sounds wrong” please don’t hesitate to email us!
Have you ever wondered if it’s safe to smoke cannabis while lactating? Today your fearless cohosts tackle the big one: using cannabis while breastfeeding. In this episode, Heather and Maureen do an overview of what we know to date: risks, benefits, statistics, assumptions, bias, and more! Join them to think critically about the current recommendations put forth form experts and health organizations.

Ep. 95- Fat Bodies Can Breastfeed: a radical self-love episode Feb 11, 2022

Have you ever experienced bias due to your body size?
Maybe it looked like a doctor commenting on your weight when you went in to the urgent care for a cough. Maybe it looked like your OB recommending an induction due to your BMI. Maybe it looked like a store not carrying your size or charging more if they do. Maybe it was when you were in school or even in your own home.
Bias against fat bodies, or fat phobia, is so deeply entrenched in our culture that it’s hard to count all the microaggressions fat people experience every day. How can we separate out this from our health status? The ability of our bodies to function and feed our babies? Join Heather and Maureen on a journey of self love and radical acceptance this week as they break down provider bias, fat phobia, healthcare disparities, ableism, BMI bull***t, and more!

Ep. 72- Black Breastfeeding Equity and Opportunity for Change: an interview with Dr. DeVane-Johnson Aug 27, 2021

It's Black Breastfeeding Week!

Join us to chat with midwife, Dr. Stephanie DeVane-Johnson, PhD, CNM, FACNM, about some basics of the health disparities and history of breastfeeding in the Black community, and how we move forward with healing. Trigger warning: we explore some of the historic and present day trauma of breastfeeding for Black people.

Dr. DeVane-Johnson has more than 23 years experience as a midwife and her research focuses on breastfeeding and health disparities in African Americans. She has written and published on the impact that cultural and socio-historical influences have on African American infant feeding decisions. Her work is a key piece of understanding how the Black maternal and infant health crisis can be changed. This is an incredible opportunity for us to listen up and make changes.

Don't miss this episode!
Dr. DeVane-Johnson has asked that we donate to the Kira Johnson Fund as a part of making these changes. You can join us in donating here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/march-for-moms

Ep. 55 - Do You Feel Sleepy and Thirsty while Nursing? A look at hormones... Apr 30, 2021

In this episode, a listener question sends M&H down the research rabbit hole to understand why breastfeeding makes you feel so thirsty and so sleepy. Turns out, it’s all in the hormones. But you’ll be shocked to hear that it’s not only about oxytocin! Enter, prolactin; you’ll be amazed!
They also discuss the practicalities of drinking when you're thirsty and making sure you breastfeed in a soft and safe space because you may fall asleep. Of course, M&H close things out with an "Award in the Alcove."
But before that, they thank a Patron and share the incredible community and support $20/month Patrons enjoy: a private consultation with M&H and monthly live group sessions for Q&A, sharing, learning. Wow!

Ep. 54 - NICU Speech Language Pathology & Occupational Therapy- The safeguards of your breastfeeding journey, with guests Katie Fluharty, SLP, CLC and Megan Martino, OT, CLC. Apr 23, 2021

M&H start everything off with a listener question addressing a conflicting (and frustrating) tongue tie diagnosis for a now 4-year-old who's having speech troubles.
Did you know that there are providers that work with premature infants in the NICU to teach them to feed before they even attempt a feed? These speech language pathologists (SLP) and occupational therapists (OT) are essential in preventing oral aversions and developing good eating habits in NICU babies.
These amazing women also discuss their role in supporting parents and caregivers, and how they emphasize developing strong bonds between baby and caregiver with experiences like skin-to-skin and non-nutritive sucking. It’s a sweet and caring episode.
M&H close things out with an "Award in the Alcove," because we love you and we think you are doing great!

M&H start with a listener question addressing which breastfeeding-friendly birth control options are best for lactating parents struggling with PCOS.
What exactly is PCOS and what does it look like? Could you have it and not even know it???
Join M&H for a complete discussion about breastfeeding with a PCOS diagnosis. Symptom management, levels of severity, risk factors, affects on milk supply, and the light at the end of the tunnel. Of course, this episode covers the most up-to-date research on breastfeeding with PCOS and highlights the research that needs to be done in the future.
M&H close out the episode with an "Award in the Alcove," because they love you and think you are doing great!

Ep. 52 - Milk Banks: interview with guest Denise O’Connor, founder/executive director of the Midatlantic Mother’s Milk bank Apr 09, 2021

Have you ever donated breastmilk? Would you ever consider it?
Maureen and Heather talk to the founder and executive director of the Mid-Atlantic Mothers' Milk Bank , Denise O'Connor, about all the incredible work they do. What donor milk is, who can donate, who can receive donor milk, the process of getting donor milk and how it’s handled and processed, the upsides of using donor milk, the milk bank and its relationships with parents who’ve experienced infant death, and so much more!
Denise is so passionate and her organization does such an incredible job of supplying human milk to those who need it most.
This episode begins with a testimonial of a Milk Minute Podcast listener who had to use donor milk for her son. Then, Maureen and Heather answer a listener question about using donor milk (that mom has in the freezer) because she’s going on antibiotics instead of direct breastfeeding. Finally, the infamous AWARD IN THE ALCOVE! Could it be you? It could be!

Ep. 41 - Managing Trauma while Breastfeeding: a personal story, what to notice, ways to move through it Jan 22, 2021

Trigger warning and warning for little ears: this episode discusses sexual assault. While the discussion isn’t graphic or detailed, it may not be appropriate for younger listeners and it may trigger some listeners. Sexual and other trauma among women is very common, and unprocessed trauma often resurfaces during experiences of childbirth and breastfeeding. We seek to shed a light on this reality by talking about our own experiences, Heather’s in particular, and ways to move through to healing and enjoying your breastfeeding experience. We're here for you.

Ep 21: Chestfeeding, Bodyfeeding, Breastfeeding and a New Identity Sep 18, 2020

We’re back after a two week vacation with some MAJOR NEWS!We decided to rebrand, and are now the Milk Minute Podcast.While breast friends was fun and punny, its also been done. It was picked in a bit of haste as we rode the wave of new project excitement😁. As time passed we realized it wasn’t as inclusive of all lactators as we wished to be, and that the phrase already had a pretty big internet presence. Its important to us that our content is accessible to everyone, including members of the LGBTQ+ community. Thats why the official rebranding episode debuts with an episode on Chestfeeding. This topic is near and dear to my heart, and I’ve been itching to record it for some time!! We will always have work to do to further this goal, and we are happy to do it. Want more information about lactating and birthing in the LGBTQ community?

Resources:
Books to read with your partner from Maureen:
Penny Simkin, The Birth Partner
Ina May Gaskin, Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth
Ina May Gaskin, Ina May’s Guide to Breastfeeding
La Leche League International, The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding
** personal disclaimer about Ina May: at the time that I read her books I was unaware of some of the more troubling things about her person. It has since come to my attention that Ina May Gaskin has made some inappropriate, racist public statements. Many people have come out to speak about the racism in her life and work. If you choose to read her books I recommend you get them from the library, purchase them second hand, or borrow from a friend as I cannot in good conscience recommend that you support her financially.**
