Stop Saying this to Breastfeeding Moms

lundi 29 juin 2026 • Durée 19:43

What if some of the most common breastfeeding advice isn't helping moms at all?

In this episode, we're talking about the things we need to stop telling breastfeeding mothers. From "feed 8–12 times a day" and "don't feed your baby to sleep," to "pump to see how much milk you have" and "just push through the pain," we're taking a closer look at where these messages come from, why they can be misleading, and what evidence and normal infant behavior actually tell us.

We'll cover topics like:

Feeding by the clock vs. feeding your baby
Why "full feeds" aren't as simple as they sound
Normal night waking and cluster feeding
Why pump output doesn't measure your milk supply
The problem with routine triple feeding
Pain during breastfeeding
Tongue tie referrals
Feeding to sleep
And more...

My goal isn't to shame parents or healthcare providers—it's to replace fear and rigid rules with practical, evidence-based information that helps you better understand your baby and trust your instincts.

Whether you're expecting your first baby, currently breastfeeding, or supporting a breastfeeding family, this episode will help you separate breastfeeding facts from breastfeeding myths.

Unfiltered & Raw: The Breastfeeding Advice I’m Calling Bullshit On Moms Aren’t Failing. The Advice Is.

lundi 30 mars 2026 • Durée 29:40

Moms Aren’t Failing. The Advice Is.

Let’s be honest — a lot of breastfeeding advice out there is just plain wrong.

In this unfiltered, no-sugarcoating episode, I’m calling out the most common advice that leaves moms overwhelmed, confused, and questioning their bodies.

From “feed every 3 hours” to “your baby should only nurse for 20 minutes” — we’re breaking down what’s actually happening and why this kind of guidance sets moms up to struggle.

After 20+ years as an IBCLC, I can tell you this with confidence:
most moms aren’t failing breastfeeding — they were failed by the advice they were given.

This episode is raw, honest, and yes… a little spicy.
But it comes from one place: making sure moms get the truth and the support they deserve.

If you’ve ever felt like breastfeeding “just didn’t work,” this one’s for you.

You’re not broken.
Your body didn’t fail.
You probably just got bad advice.

Who told you that? Let’s Talk About the Advice Moms Never Question (But Should)

lundi 9 mars 2026 • Durée 11:38

New parents receive breastfeeding advice everywhere — from the hospital, family members, social media, and even well-meaning professionals. The problem? Much of that advice is given without anyone actually watching the baby feed.

In this episode, Nicki Davis, RN, BSN, IBCLC, breaks down some of the most common breastfeeding advice parents hear and explains why so many of these rules create more stress than solutions.

We talk about:

Why pumping more isn’t always the answer
The truth about babies “using you as a pacifier”
Why pain during breastfeeding should never be ignored
How weight checks without context can create unnecessary panic
Why triple feeding is often suggested far too quickly

Breastfeeding isn’t about rigid rules or watching the clock — it’s about understanding your baby, milk transfer, and feeding patterns.

If you’ve ever followed advice and thought, “Why does breastfeeding suddenly feel harder?” this episode will help you understand why — and what actually matters instead.

“Pumping Isn’t the First Step (Breastfeeding Is)”

Saison 1

mardi 3 février 2026 • Durée 09:49

This episode is for pregnant moms who are already worried about pumping and returning to work.

Let me be clear right from the start:
There is nothing wrong with choosing to be an exclusive pumper from day one. That is a valid, intentional feeding choice.

But this episode is specifically for those of you who plan to breastfeed and know pumping will eventually be part of your journey—most often because you’ll be returning to work.

And let’s also clear this up: not everyone needs to pump.
Pumping is a tool, not a requirement.

In this episode, I break down why pumping works best when breastfeeding has a strong foundation first—and why trying to “prepare for pumping” without understanding breastfeeding often leads to unnecessary stress, disappointment, and confusion.

We talk about:

Why pumping struggles often start before pumping even begins
How early breastfeeding sets your milk supply and pumping success
Why breastfeeding education belongs in pregnancy
Why pumping education makes more sense after baby arrives
The order that actually supports working moms long-term

If pumping has been weighing on your mind already, this episode will help you reset, refocus, and prepare in a way that actually supports your body and your goals.

Before You Hire a Lactation Consultant, Listen to This

Saison 1 · Épisode 16

lundi 22 décembre 2025 • Durée 22:09

Not all lactation consultants practice the same—and choosing the wrong support can make breastfeeding feel harder than it ever needed to be.

In this episode of Spill the Milk, I walk parents through the exact questions to ask when choosing a lactation consultant—before you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or doubting yourself.

We talk about credentials, experience, how many babies a consultant has actually seen, what ages they work with, how they teach latch, growth charts, timed feeds, triple feeding plans, tools like nipple shields, tongue-tie referrals, follow-up care, and the red flags that matter.

This episode isn’t about finding “perfect” breastfeeding.
It’s about finding evidence-based, compassionate support that works for you and your baby—without guilt, pressure, or burnout.

If you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, pumping, combo feeding, or feeling unsure about the help you’re getting, this episode is for you.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Your Milk Isn’t the Problem — The Advice Is.

Saison 1 · Épisode 16

lundi 1 décembre 2025 • Durée 18:51

Are you feeling like your body is failing because breastfeeding isn’t going “how it’s supposed to”?
In this episode, I’m breaking down the bad breastfeeding advice I’ve heard in my consultations this week — the kind of harmful, outdated nonsense that makes moms doubt themselves, sabotage their supply, and think their babies are “too much.”

We’ll talk about:

Why cluster feeding is not a sign your milk is low
How “feed every 3 hours” advice wrecks breastfeeding and your sanity
Why pain is a red flag, not a “toughen up” moment
The truth about pumping, bottles, flange sizing, and “lazy” babies
How moms are being failed by the system, not by their bodies

If you’ve ever been told your milk isn’t enough, your baby eats too often, or you’re creating bad habits by responding to your baby… this one’s for you.

You deserve real talk, evidence-based support, and zero shame.

“Why Am I Not Okay? Postpartum Depression & Anxiety with Linda Perry, PMHNP-BC, CNM”

Saison 1 · Épisode 15

lundi 24 novembre 2025 • Durée 43:09

I’m Nicki Davis, RN, BSN, IBCLC — an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant with 20 years supporting breastfeeding families — and today we’re tackling something far too many new moms suffer through silently: postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety. Society tells moms to “enjoy every moment.” Meanwhile, inside, they’re overwhelmed, terrified, and ashamed to say they’re not okay. This episode is here to cut through that silence.

I’m joined by Linda Perry, MSN, PMHNP-BC, CNM — a dual-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Certified Nurse Midwife. Linda started her career delivering babies and later shifted into perinatal psychiatry when she saw firsthand how deeply mental health shapes recovery, bonding, and breastfeeding.

Together, we break down:

What postpartum depression and anxiety actually look like (not just what the brochures say)
What causes postpartum mood changes — hormones, sleep loss, identity shift, trauma, birth interventions, unrealistic expectations, feeding pressure
The question every mom asks: “Isn’t it safer to avoid medication while breastfeeding?” — and what the research actually says
Which medications may be compatible with breastfeeding
What else can help — therapy, lactation support, nervous-system support, sleep strategy, partner direction, and community
How anxiety/depression can interfere with breastfeeding and why it is NOT a mom’s fault
When postpartum depression becomes dangerous and what to do immediately
One message Linda wants every struggling mom to hear before the episode ends — and it’s powerful

We also talk honestly about three supplements Linda uses often — L-theanine, Lion’s Mane, and Lavela — what the evidence says, where the gaps are, and why no supplement should replace real mental-health care when a mom is suffering.

If you’re listening with a lump in your throat or tears in your eyes because this sounds like you — you are not broken. You deserve support just as much as your baby does.

Weaning Without Tears: A Gentle Guide to Ending Breastfeeding on Your Terms

Saison 1 · Épisode 14

lundi 17 novembre 2025 • Durée 07:55

Weaning isn’t just the end of breastfeeding — it’s the beginning of a new chapter.
And for most moms, that transition is way more emotional, complicated, and confusing than anyone prepares us for.

In this episode of Spill the Milk, we break down weaning with honesty, compassion, and real-world guidance — whether you’re weaning a baby, a toddler, or somewhere in between. We’ll talk about:

What the World Health Organization actually recommends
Why weaning is a slow transition, not a single event
How to wean gently and safely without clogs or mastitis
What to do if you have oversupply during weaning
Night-weaning without trauma
And the emotional rollercoaster no one warns you about

You’ll also hear two real stories:
✨ A 6-month-old who continued breastfeeding while transitioning to formula for nutritional support until 12 months
✨ A 2-year-old who weaned without pressure — and without needing whole milk as a replacement (yes, yogurt, cheese, and water count!)

Whether you’re thinking about weaning, already in the thick of it, or simply want to feel less alone… this episode is the supportive hug you deserve.

🎙 “Why Sleep Training Doesn’t Work for Breastfed Babies”

Saison 1 · Épisode 13

lundi 10 novembre 2025 • Durée 10:54

In this episode of Spill the Milk, Nicki Davis, BSN, RN, IBCLC, breaks down why traditional sleep training doesn’t fit the biology of breastfed babies.

She explains how breast milk digests nearly twice as fast as formula, why feeding on demand protects both your supply and your baby’s growth, and how scheduled feeds can backfire — leading to low supply, slow weight gain, and missed hunger cues.

Nicki also shares simple, realistic alternatives to sleep training that protect your milk production and your mental health, including how to handle night feeds, read your baby’s cues, and find balance without sacrificing rest.

If you’ve ever been told to “stretch the feeds” or “drop nights,” this episode will help you understand exactly why that advice doesn’t support breastfeeding success.

Do Babies Really Need Dairy at 12 Months? CMPA, Cow’s Milk, and the Truth Behind the “Got Milk” Myth

Saison 1 · Épisode 12

lundi 3 novembre 2025 • Durée 36:35

n this episode of Spill the Milk, Nicki Davis, RN, BSN, IBCLC, sits down with pediatric nurse practitioner Emily to break down one of the most confusing and over-diagnosed issues in infancy — CMPA (cow’s milk protein allergy) — and the pressure parents feel to start cow’s milk at 12 months.

They unpack what CMPA actually is, how it’s diagnosed (and who can diagnose it), and what symptoms are real versus what’s actually normal baby behavior. Nicki and Emily also discuss why not every case of blood in baby’s stool equals CMPA, the importance of serial testing, and how over-labeling babies can lead to unnecessary worry and restrictions.

Then they shift gears to talk about the big 12-month question: Does your baby actually need cow’s milk? Learn where this recommendation even came from — yes, the “Got Milk” campaign had a lot to do with it — how too much dairy can contribute to anemia, and what healthy alternatives exist for parents who choose not to serve cow’s milk in a cup or bottle.

This episode is a reality check for parents who just want the facts without the fluff.
