014 - Quadruple Feeding a Newborn with Down Syndrome

Season 1 · Episode 14

Thursday, February 15, 2024 • Duration 01:22:58

Many of us have heard of triple feeding, but have you ever heard of quadruple feeding?

Quadruple feeding is doing four things to try to feed your baby every day, and it’s exhausting!

Danielle Kawlewski's baby was born with Down syndrome and a heart defect.

In today’s episode, she shares the struggles of feeding, losing the sucking reflex, and then going straight from tube feeding to thickened breastmilk through a straw by eight months old… along with trying everything else under the sun in between.

013 - Overproduction, Nipple-Crackage, CoSleeping BreastSleeping and The Long Haul Breastfeeding Journey With Lynan Saperstein

Season 1 · Episode 13

Wednesday, January 31, 2024 • Duration 55:29

Today, I was really honored to interview the incredible Lynan Saperstein. Not only is she a new, older mom (she gave birth at 39. and she's breastfeeding at 40), but she is a soulful, heart-driven entrepreneur with a passion for energetic clearing. She offers group energy programs as well as private sessions. You can check her out at ElementalSphere.com.

Lynan's milk came in very fast. She described it as terrifying. She thought she had mastitis. Ultimately, she learned she was an overproducer, which was quite messy, actually.

Additionally, she shares the traumatizing experience she had with a breast pump during labor, so it took a long while to try pumping after the baby was born.

She also tells the story of her cracked nipple and how Lanolin nipple cream and Silverettes helped.

Her daughter is 11 months old and she is still almost exclusively breastfeeding on demand. Lynan shares how she is preparing for a long haul breastfeeding journey.

We also learn about her experience co-sleeping, night feeding, the first 40 days ritual, why we should give Dad's breastmilk and so much more.

003 - How Breastfeeding Support and Mat Leave Differ in Canada and Colette Hamon's Mission to Empower Moms

Episode 3

Wednesday, November 15, 2023 • Duration 53:19

Canada may seem like "just" our sweet, friendly neighbors to the north, but in reality, the Canadian Government supports moms on their postpartum journeys far more than the US Government.

Today, I am so excited to introduce you to our incredible guest, Colette Hamon, from Alberta Canada. Colette is also the founder and CEO of BraTopia!

As Colette shares her three baby-feeding stories, we learn:

Canada provides 12 months of maternity leave! WAIT?! WHAT???!!! Yup! And NOT just for the first baby.
Canada has approved a milk production drug for under-producers!
The risk of uterine rupture when you have a baby less than 18 months after a C-section birth
What happens when your baby isn't gaining enough weight, and you're told they have to go on a weight-gain "diet"?
How the cultural pressure to lose weight after a baby, lead Colette to launch her business, BraTopia.
The life-changing moment Colette had when trying on a bathing suit post-baby

Hi Molly,

In today's episode, I interviewed a very dear friend and fellow mama, Carla Barnes. She and I met way back, during our freshman year in College. We lived in the same dorm. Being first-time moms together now is so exciting, especially since we’re older mamas.

Today, Carla opens up about the placental abruption she had at 34 weeks. She shares how she spent almost a week in the hospital before giving birth to her determined little girl, Ariana, at 35 weeks. And why it was so important that they hit the 35-week mark!

We Also Hear:

What it was Like to Try to Feed a NICU Baby
Breastfeeding and Pumping Challenges when Ariana came home
Ariana's Milk Protein Intolerance and the Emotional Turmoil Carla Felt at the Subsequent Early Weaning it Caused (as would any mom!)
Finding the Right Formula
The Importance of Local Support

001 - Tongue Ties, Pumping, Under Producing, Breastfeeding, Carpal Tunnel, Spoiled Breast Milk and more, with Molly Rider

Episode 1

Thursday, November 2, 2023 • Duration 01:04:32

This first episode will be a little different, as I’m kicking things off by sharing my own baby-feeding story. Why? If I’m asking moms+ to come on and share some of their most vulnerable and honest moments, it’s only fair that I go first and give you the dirt on my baby-feeding experience.

So, in this episode, you will hear how my daughter was born with a tongue tie that left bruises on my areola. This caused me to have to use a breast pump right away, supplement with formula, and even experiment with syringe feeding. This was not the breastfeeding experience I dreamed of having.

Additionally, I share my struggles with being an under-producer, getting carpal tunnel and Mommy's thumb, and that time I thought I had spoiled breastmilk. And so much more!
