Is Breast Best? Interview with Victoria Facelli, IBCLC, Author of Feed the Baby
01 Mar 2024
00:59:57
Breast is best. We've all heard it, now let's talk about it. Today the Milk Minute is honored to have Victoria Facelli, author of "Feed the Baby: an inclusive guide to nursing, bottle feeding, and everything in between" on the show to discuss her incredible book. This is the kind of book that Heather and Maureen have dreamed of writing and is the perfect step-by-step guide to feeding your baby, complete with illustrations and videos.
Victoria Facelli is an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant, but not the kind that hates formula. She wrote this book to cut through a lot of the misinformation that parents are faced with, as a resource to empower parents to feed their babies in whatever way works for them!

PPD/PPA Medications and Breastfeeding
06 May 2022
01:05:26
Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety: two things that affect more parents today than ever before (or maybe they're finally just talked about more). Are you on the fence about medication for mental health? This episode will hopefully shine some light on the hang-ups.
We want to start off by saying that this is NOT a debate over whether you should or should not take medication while breastfeeding. Today we go over several medication options for PPD/PPA and share how they might affect your breastfeeding journey. As always, talk to your healthcare provider about getting the right meds to help you feel your best and ultimately be the best parent.

Ep. 102- Cannabis and Breastfeeding
01 Apr 2022
01:07:49
Correction/Apology: We have learned since the publication of this episode that use of the term ‘marjiuana’ in this country has its roots in racism and xenophobia. A lot of harm has been done to the Mexican American community and other minority communities with use of this word at the forefront of an ‘anti-drug’ movement meant to play off of anti-immigrant sentiments. We sincerely thank the listener who emailed in to tell us, and apologize for using the word without understanding. We are sorry for any harm that has caused. Language is powerful and complicated, and we are always open to changing the way we use words in order to reduce harm. If you hear and episode and think, “that sounds wrong” please don’t hesitate to email us!
Have you ever wondered if it’s safe to smoke cannabis while lactating? Today your fearless cohosts tackle the big one: using cannabis while breastfeeding. In this episode, Heather and Maureen do an overview of what we know to date: risks, benefits, statistics, assumptions, bias, and more! Join them to think critically about the current recommendations put forth form experts and health organizations.

Ep. 95- Fat Bodies Can Breastfeed: a radical self-love episode
11 Feb 2022
01:05:25
Have you ever experienced bias due to your body size?
Maybe it looked like a doctor commenting on your weight when you went in to the urgent care for a cough. Maybe it looked like your OB recommending an induction due to your BMI. Maybe it looked like a store not carrying your size or charging more if they do. Maybe it was when you were in school or even in your own home.
Bias against fat bodies, or fat phobia, is so deeply entrenched in our culture that it’s hard to count all the microaggressions fat people experience every day. How can we separate out this from our health status? The ability of our bodies to function and feed our babies? Join Heather and Maureen on a journey of self love and radical acceptance this week as they break down provider bias, fat phobia, healthcare disparities, ableism, BMI bull***t, and more!
