Navigating Lactation Challenges for Working Moms with Emily Stone
Manage episode 426966945 series 3550239
In this episode, Emily Stone, a certified breastfeeding counselor and founder of Empowered Breastfeeding Bootcamp talks with Kortney about the logistics of breastfeeding and pumping.
We dive into the challenges working moms face when returning to work, especially in a country like the United States where paid maternity leave is not the norm. Emily shares invaluable advice on how moms can prepare for breastfeeding after returning to work, including the importance of establishing a strong milk supply through direct nursing first. She also shares the critical role employers play in supporting lactation, from creating a comfortable pumping environment to being flexible and understanding.
