This is your host Elizabeth Joy and we believe in empowering people through storytelling

August, there's a lot of breastfeeding awareness going on in August last week was breastfeeding

awareness week and this week we're actually going to be talking about it a little bit

on here.

There's this awesome mom on Instagram that I've been following for a while, instinctual

mothering Andrea Haskins and she is a lactation counselor but we dive into way more than

just breastfeeding.

We dive into just exactly what her handle says, instinctual mothering and how it's different

for every single person and there's so many rules.

I feel like when I first had joby, I was so stressed out trying to find the experts in every

I know I've talked about it with sleep on here before.

What's a five month sleep schedule?

She's six.

She's trying to follow within certain bounds and really not being in tune with myself.
