Fed Is Best: Let’s Talk Breastfeeding

August is Breastfeeding Awareness Month! In this special episode, we’re getting real and talking about why “fed is best”. I’m joined by pediatrician Dr. Maggie Gaughran, where we tackle all your questions about breastfeeding — from the science to the social pressures. 🤱🍼

We’re sharing our own raw and honest stories about our breastfeeding journeys, the trials with latching, and the struggles we faced. We also dive into the incredible benefits for both mom and baby, the social stigma, and why “fed is best” is the most important takeaway. ❤️

This video is for every new parent out there who’s feeling the pressure or just has questions. We’re keeping it light and real, but we’re also very serious about supporting you. 🤗
