Welcome to the Birthful Podcast. I'm Adriana Lozada, and today we'll be talking about why breastfeeding a newborn is different from an older baby.

It's often assumed that breastfeeding will simply work,

but most moms report significant problems within the first weeks.

Fortunately, understanding why newborns feed the way they do can make the whole process a breeze.

Teresa Nesbitt is here to tell us more.

Stay tuned.

This episode of Birthful is brought to you by natural

breastfeeding and their free quick start video, which shows you a simple technique to prevent

nipple pain and the easiest way to help your newborn latch and for you to produce enough milk

for your baby. Go watch it at natural breastfeeding.com. The Birthful Podcast, talking to maternity pros to inform your intuition.

Hello, mighty mamas and mamas to be and mighty dads and dads to be.

As always, thank you for listening and for all the love

you give the show. If you find that this podcast is making a difference in your life, then it would

mean a whole lot if you would leave a written review on iTunes, like Rachel of the Finger Lakes did

recently. Rachel says, as the end of my pregnancy nears, I continue to return to Adriana's top-notch podcast. The

information presented is well-research, evidence-based, and the discussion is intelligent and

relevant. I find myself skipping ahead during some other pregnancy birth podcasts, mindless, off-topic

chatter, just to get to the important stuff, but not with birthful, which sticks to the point

and does not waste my time.

Quite the opposite.

Thank you, Rachel, so much for those kind words and for continuing to listen through your pregnancy.

I'm so glad that you find the podcast so helpful and that I stick to the point.
