6. Exploring the Realities of Breastfeeding with Emma Pickett IBCLC

  • Summary

  • I’m honored to be talking with my special guest, Emma Pickett, on today’s episode! Emma is a breastfeeding counselor, international board certified lactation consultant (IBCLC), and author. She’s been in the breastfeeding space for nearly 2 decades, and is passionate about not only supporting parents with their breastfeeding journeys beyond infancy, but also with the weaning process.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Practical tips for you to prepare for and support a successful breastfeeding journey
    • Why places like the U.S. and U.K. aren’t typically as exposed to breastfeeding, compared to other parts of the world
    • What’s really behind the breastfeeding ‘dip’ that occurred in the late 20th century + positives and negatives Emma has seen in her almost 20 years in the breastfeeding space
    • The competitive pressures surrounding pumping + why it’s really not an accurate representation of your milk supply
    • Common challenges that can arise early in your breastfeeding journey + really adapting your expectations for you and your baby during this time
    • Both the over and underdiagnoses regarding lip ties and tongue ties in relation to breastfeeding
    • Indicators that you need to seek out breastfeeding support early in your journey
    • What to do if you’re worried about a low milk supply + why feeding schedules are not a positive thing for mothers or babies
    • Simple resources and guidance to support families when they’re ready to wean and end their breastfeeding journey
