Hi, welcome to the badass breastfeeding podcast.

This is Diane, your lactation consultant.

And I'm Abby, the badass breastfeater.

And, you know, I always, I feel like I have to say, I always have to, like, pause.

I do like, hi.

But then I have to look and make sure my recorder is actually recording.

I know.

I look at it multiple times during an episode because i have this fear remember that one time

we talked for like 10 minutes and i didn't turn on my recorder yes because i've done that too yep yeah

sorry guys yeah you didn't get to hear all my wonderful jokes we had to start again we actually

had some funny jokes in there i know we had to start over and then you can't just like redo a joke like oh god but we'll try to we'll try to keep it on the now we know what we're

doing a little bit more so yeah that's fine that was but i do have our but anyway it wasn't that long

no i do have our review of the week, though. Yay.

Yay. But it's a good one. So this comes from... They're all good. They are all really good.

This comes from Mikella 379, and she says, New Mommy Lifesaver. Wow, I don't even know where to begin on how much I love this podcast. My son is 16 months old and my first and exclusively nurses.

It's been a crazy journey of just him and I trying to figure this out with no bottles because he refused them.

I wish I would have discovered this podcast from the very beginning because every single episode I have listened to has impacted me tremendously.

I don't have a ton of support from my extended family and I've heard every reason for me to stop breastfeeding.

He's too old.

If he can ask for it, he needs to stop, give him formula to make him sleep longer.

He needs to be drinking cow's milk, etc.

It is crazy to me that people have so many negative comments about something so amazing I am doing for my son.
