There's definitely more that I could expand upon, but we'd be here all day if I did that. Today, I tackle three topics brought up during my interview with Julia- lactogenesis (the process of milk production, it's cooler than you think), colostrum harvesting, and donor milk.
Have more questions? Hit me up and I'll address them on next week's follow up!
Links to things mentioned today:
-Hand Expression Video (Stanford+Dr. Jane Morton)
-Colostrum Harvesting IG Post (it's old y'all, be kind lol)
-Haakaa Colostrum Collector Kit
Tune in next week for my interview with Dr. Victoria Metre, local mom and pediatrician. We chat about her experience with oversupply, her baby's milk protein allergy, and just how amazing it is to reflect on how we fully built that baby's body and now our bodies are continuing to fuel it's growth and development. We're such powerful creatures!!!
