Show notes

There are so many recommendations on the internet about how to "fix" your supply issues. How do you know which will work for you? Also... WHY do they work?
Power pumping, bra/no bra, pump before feeds, pump between feeds, block feed... ahhhhh!

During this episode, Heather and Maureen dive into regulating supply; how it works, the steps to take to successfully regulate, as well as guidance for parents on how to do it safely and efficiently. This is a must listen for anyone experiencing an Oversupply or Undersupply!

Ep. 80- Community Milk Sharing: Concerns, Precautions, and Protocols Oct 22, 2021

Show notes

Have you ever thought about sharing the extra milk in your freezer? Or found yourself scoping one of the online milk sharing groups when you’ve come face-to-face with supplementation?

During this episode, Heather and Maureen dive into Community Milk Sharing. Direct parent-to-parent sharing of human milk carries a lot of stigma in the medical community, and we don’t see a lot of guidance for parents on how to do this safely. This week the Milk Minute reviews medical and ethical concerns, practical tips, donor interviews, milk pasteurization, and more!

Ep. 77- Milk Storage Guidelines: A closer look Oct 01, 2021

Show notes

Have you ever wondered "What's Up?!" with the discrepancy in milk storage guidelines?
It seems like each major healthcare organization picked their own numbers for how many hours/days/years that breast milk can be safely stored.
Today, Heather and Maureen hope to clear the air and dig into the guidelines as well as the evidence behind them. They bring you detailed information so that you can make the safest choice for you and your baby. No more throwing away precious "questionable" milk or resorting to a 100oz milk bath!
