Hi, welcome to the badass breastfeeding podcast.

This is Diane, your lactation consultant.

And I'm Abby, the badass breastfeater.

And today's episode is brought to you by the Family Wellness Summit 2020, where Diane

and I will both be talking.

It's hosted by The Real Crunchy Mama.

And we will be, it's a free five-day virtual conference being held all online, January 1st

through the 5th, and we'll hear Murrow about this later.

But today's episode is also brought to by Rumuminat Nursing Wares Pump and Nurse Collection,

all-in-one products that can both breastfeed as well as pump hands free in, and we'll hear more,

like I said, from both of those in a little while, but right now Diane has our review of the week,

I think.

I do.

I have our review of the week.

And this also came to us through an email to our badass breastfeeding podcast at gmail.com through that. And this is from Cynthia. My name is Cynthia. I've been listening to your podcast for about a year. And thank you so much for creating this. I was able to talk to Diane a couple of times about my little guy,

and she helped me so much, especially when everyone, including the doctor,

was saying a bunch of BS about him nursing all the time.

At his four-month checkup, our doctor told us that my exclusively breastfeeding baby

was not only obese, but that if I continued to co-sleep, I would smother and kill him.

He told me to substitute every other feeding with water and also put him in the crib and let him cry.

When I asked for how long, he told me as long as he needs to until he falls asleep.

So, because I trusted him as our doctor, we went home and tried this with both of his crying.
