Hi, welcome to the badass breastfeeding podcast.

I'm Diane, your lactation consultant.

And I'm Abby, the badass breastfeater.

And today's episode is brought to you by Ruminant Nursing Wares Pump and Nurse Collection,

all-in-one products that you can both breastfeed as well as pump hands free in and today's

episode is also brought to you by fair haven 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 for each feeding and we'll hear

more from our sponsors later after um i think we have a review of the week.

We do. We have a review of the week. And this one comes from Chastain Nelson. This is on iTunes.

And she says it's kind of long, but that's okay. I wish I would have found this podcast earlier.

I've been listening now for a few months, and this is all I listen to. I even go back and replay episodes. My daughter is now 16 months and still nursing strong with no end in sight. I remember very clearly the day we were going to be discharged, and I was day three postpartum, and the pediatrician came in to see us, and he told me that since her Billy Rubin was high, that I was going to have to formula feed, that I could not breastfeed her.

I broke down in absolute tears.

Three days into my breastfeeding journey, and he told me I couldn't do it.

I was absolutely devastated.

A few moments later, the student nurses came in to me bawling my eyes out because of the doctor.

Luckily, they calm me down. They sent the IBCLC in to talk to me, and she told me I was going to keep going because my daughter was nursing strong.

I wish I had this podcast when I started out, so I could have told that pediatrician to stick it where the sun doesn't shine.

Ah, yes.

Thank you so much, ladies, for spreading all the wonderful knowledge.

And we did an episode recently on jaundice, so this is such a great, like, you know, I don't even know the word I want to say.

Like an affirmation that doctors are saying these things.

Like, it's true.
