"Breastfeeding journeys, just like breast milk, isn't a one size fits all, but changes to meet your needs. I think we as new moms put too much pressure on ourselves that if it's not instantly what was pictured, we're failing. When in fact you just have to find the plan and tips and tricks that work for you."

PPD/PPA Medications and Breastfeeding May 06, 2022

Show notes

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.

Our Journey to the Milk Minute and each other! Apr 29, 2022

Show notes

Our journey is the word this week! Real talk, sometimes we have so much to say about lactation that we don’t make time for ourselves. We don’t get to catch up or tell funny stories because we want to prioritize education!

This week we decided that we would kick back and chew the fat a little. We’re telling stories from our births, to the birth of the podcast! Join us for our origin stories: how we became us and us became the Milk Minute.
