Baby’s don’t come with technical manuals. In many places around the world, families have switched out of living in joint homes and instead, live in smaller family units. When you aren’t too sure about breastfeeding, lactation consultants come to the rescue! My guest on today’s episode is Leigh Anne O’Connor, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and La Leche League Leader. She discusses the societal and cultural expectations that influence the modern mother’s experience with breastfeeding. We talk about the reasons one would use pumps or the breast and factors that may undermine breastfeeding. I personally learned so much from this episode! Leigh has over two decades experience working with breastfeeding families. She teaches breastfeeding classes, leads support groups, and sees private clients all over New York City.
