The Follow-Up: When Breastfeeding Isn’t Easy
Manage episode 500928474 series 2686793
There’s a lot of pressure to breastfeed but not nearly enough conversation about what to do when it doesn’t go as planned.
In this honest and compassionate episode, Dr. Mona sits down with lactation counselor and mom of two Kaia Lacey to talk about low milk supply, combo feeding, and the emotional weight of unrealistic feeding expectations. Whether you’ve struggled with supply, felt shamed for using formula, or wondered if you're the only one doing “a little of both,” this one’s for you.
They cover:
The difference between primary and secondary low milk supply
What IGT (insufficient glandular tissue) is and how it’s often missed
Why combo feeding isn’t a failure—it’s a valid, supported choice
How internalized “breast is best” messages can lead to shame and burnout
What parents really need: support, diagnosis, and honest information
