Hey, welcome to the badass breastfeeding podcast.

This is Diane, the lactation consultant.

And I'm Abby, the badass breastfeater.

And today's episode is brought to you by Milkies.

Milkies makes handcrafted keepsakes from your breast milk, a lock of hair, or umbilical cord.

And today's episode is also brought to you by Fairhaven Health. With the milky's milk tray, you can freeze your breast milk into

one ounce sticks so you can thaw just the right amount of milk for each feed. And we will hear more

from these sponsors and their awesome products. But right now, I think Diane has our review of the week.

I do have our review of the week.

And it is from, I have to go back, we've been getting some amazing reviews that I have a

hard time like picking out which one I want to do.

And I hope people realize that like, I do read them.

I don't just like randomly, you know. Oh, yeah. I read them. Yeah. We love them. I love them. Um, so this one is from

Kylie Thompson. And she says so, so thankful. I'm a first time mom to a baby girl. She is now 15 weeks old. I started listening to you guys a few weeks ago and ah, I am so glad I found this podcast and I wish I discovered it when I was pregnant.

Breastfeeding my daughter has not been easy from day one and I was often in tears about it. My in-laws family always told me to just give her formula. It'll be easier for the both of you. She won't spit up like that. She doesn't like your milk. I was tempted to give up and I was just so heartbroken. It wasn't working out. Two weeks ago, she was diagnosed with severe laryngeal malacia and had an emergency surgery to open up her airway. Come to find out this was the cause of all of our issues.

I am so glad that I didn't give up and give in to all of the negative comments.

We're three months in and she's now breastfeeding like a pro two weeks post-op.

You ladies give me so much confidence about breastfeeding.

Thank you for what you are doing.

It's amazing.

And this was the beginning of January that she

sent this. So I hope that they are doing amazing still. And a lot to go through. It is a lot to go
