Milk Supply: Myths and More!

Suggestions, Comments, or Questions?

On this week's episode we are putting our new CLC to work! Izzy is going to use all of her knowledge as a CLC to teach us about how milk supply is established after birth, answer some common questions about milk supply, and bust some myths you might have heard online about milk supply and how to increase it. Then Izzy is going to touch on some science backed ways to increase your milk supply that actually work. If you have any questions about milk supply or would like breastfeeding support you can reach out through our website to set up a breastfeeding consultation with Izzy using the contact page in our website or by clicking here.
