Early Breastfeeding Education with Dr. Morgan MacDermott

In this episode, Dr. Morgan MacDermott joins me to discuss holistic approaches to breastfeeding, and to address common misconceptions and myths. Breastfeeding definitely has a learning curve and needs to be researched well ahead of a baby being in your arms. We somehow miss the memo that there is a whole other world AFTER the labor and birth we have prepared for. Your feeding journey with your baby may even deserve more preparation time.

We delve into the importance of prenatal breastfeeding education, understanding latch issues, and the critical role of support systems. Dr. MacDermott shares insights from her own experiences with breastfeeding complications like mastitis and oversupply, offering practical advice and resources for new families. Dr. Morgan, with her incredible support system and knowledge before the birth of her first child, seemed to stump the experts with what problems kept presenting. 

Dr. Morgan created a Mastitis Ebook to help you prepare early and confidently know where to start with any issues that may arise with breastfeeding.

With Dr. Morgan’s real life insights, our conversation emphasizes the need for realistic preparation and the benefits of community support to ensure a successful breastfeeding journey.
