Ep. 1: Defining Body-Led Breastfeeding
Defining Body-Led BreastfeedingIn this inaugural episode we decide on our name and explain why it encapsulates our approach to lactation, in which we view breastfeeding as a system involving both the baby's and mother's bodies. This is why we advocate for body-led rather than solely baby-led breastfeeding.This approach aims to alleviate the parent’s burden by fostering more efficient feeding practices, acknowledging the compensatory behaviors babies develop, and understanding the reasons behind these behaviors to improve breastfeeding outcomes.
