Restoring Faith in Breastfeeding: Overcoming Resistance from Your Fellow Healthcare Providers

I wrote a book about early lactation care, but not everyone is going to like it. Many health care providers are going to have a hard time with this approach, even though it’s entirely evidence-based. Join me on this episode of the Evolve Lactation Podcast where I read a chapter from my new book, Evolving the Modern Breastfeeding Experience: Holistic Lactation Care in the First 100 Hours. The book is available now at this link. You may also be interested in this free guide to the 3 Best Questions to Ask in the First 100 Hours.
