Join Adina & Ellen as we discuss our philosophy of Body-Led Breastfeeding, a lactation lense that respects the baby's body as the #1 clue in understanding suck function and dysfunction. We'll chat about infant body alignment, suck mechanics, the wisdom of the human body, and all around lactation theory and geekery. We love to hear from you! Send us an email with any thoughts, reactions, or contributions to bodyledbreastfeeding@gmail.com or suggest a topic for a future episode! Thank you for being part of the conversation.

Ep. 1: Defining Body-Led Breastfeeding

Defining Body-Led Breastfeeding

In this inaugural episode we decide on our name and explain why it encapsulates our approach to lactation, in which we view breastfeeding as a system involving both the baby's and mother's bodies. This is why we advocate for body-led rather than solely baby-led breastfeeding.

This approach aims to alleviate the parent’s burden by fostering more efficient feeding practices, acknowledging the compensatory behaviors babies develop, and understanding the reasons behind these behaviors to improve breastfeeding outcomes.
