Hi, welcome to the bad ass breastfeeding podcast.

This is Diane, your lactation consultant.

And I'm Abby, the badass breastfeater, and today's episode is brought to you by Fairhaven Health.

Fairhaven Health sells the wildly popular milksaver that has moms raving about how much milk they are collecting by simply

collecting their leaking breast milk. We'll hear more about the milksaver later on, but right now,

Diane has our review of the week. I do. This comes from, I just put my glasses on so I can see.

Okay. 710 goose. Y'all are my new best friends, which I need that,

by the way. So her actual name is Candace. And she says, I'm currently on maternity leave with my second

child. I'm from an area that is luckily very pro breastfeeding in Athens, Georgia. However,

with my first, I made the mistake of not recognizing that my two

biggest supporters, my husband and my mom, were uneducated in regards to breastfeeding. As such, I ended up

allowing myself to be bullied into giving formula because he was still hungry. In hindsight, I realized he

wasn't hungry. He was a baby. Baby's cry. I gave up on breastfeeding him, but I vowed not to do that with my daughter. I am now two months strong on our breastfeeding

journey with a freezer stash for my return to work. Your podcast has given me the knowledge and

strength to stop the bullying in its tracks. Keep on with the wisdom and the advice. Thank you, Candice.

Thank you, Candace. Right on. Yeah, good for you.

I know. It's awesome. And I... That's so hard when people around you have the wrong information,

but they're so pushy with it. Yeah. Just going against what you want. And it's, oh, it's,

you just feel so overwhelmed and just, it's awful. Yeah, and unvalidated and just.

And I picked that one today.

Well, as we get into like our, you know, our episode and stuff, you'll see how it kind

of correlates.
