  • #320 | Breastfeeding Q&A: Nipple Shields, Restricting Skin-to-Skin, Formula Marketing, Gentle Weaning, Nursing Strikes, Night Feeding
    2025/06/11

    Send us a text

    Welcome to the June Breastfeeding Q&A episode with Trisha & Cynthia. Today, we open with a follow-up discussion to our recent Patreon discussion on the predatory marketing of formula companies followed by a listener's comment about a hospital who forbade a mother and baby from doing skin-to-skin. Next, Trisha answers the following questions:

    • Does a baby need to feed in the first 24 hours?
    • What are your tips for gently weaning a 20-month old?
    • Did I sabotage my milk supply by using a nipple shield for 5 months?
    • How often do I need to wake my baby at night to breastfeed?
    • What is a nursing strike, and what can I do about it?

    Quickies: Piercings, gas in babies, pumping to establish supply, breastmilk butter, normal sucking sounds, colic, and each of our most difficult breastfeeding experiences.

  • #319 | Devon's Footling Breech Birth Story: Accepting the Necessary Cesarean
    2025/06/04

    Send us a text

    Devon Stockton was deeply rooted in health and wellness and armed with years of medical experience. She had only ever envisioned a natural, low-intervention birth and took all of the necessary steps to prepare herself. But her birth took an unexpected turn upon arrival at the hospital when she discovered her baby was footling breech and a cesarean would be necessary. Devon recounts the emotional shift, the support of her husband, and the unexpected calm of her labor before surgery. She shares the relief of a healthy baby girl, the kindness of her medical team, and the surprising positivity of her C-section experience, including immediate skin-to-skin and clear drapes. Devon also reflects on the lingering "what ifs" and her hopes and plans for a VBAC in the future. This story demonstrates how a mother can feel at peace with her birth knowing it was a necessary cesarean, and yet also can feel the sadness and longing for the vaginal birth she dreamed of.

  • #318 | May Q&A: Precipitous Births, Tearing Tips, Best Foods After Birth, Epidural Removal for Pushing, Induction & VBAC, Cord Clamping, Jaundice
    2025/05/28

    Send us a text

    Welcome to the May Q&A with Cynthia & Trisha. If you have been wondering what you should plan to eat after giving birth, we've got the answers in today's episode, and we think they'll surprise you! For today's regular episode, we answer the following:

    • Can you remove an epidural for pushing?
    • Can the cervix swell shut if you push before it is fully dilated?
    • Can you prevent a tear in a precipitous birth when the baby comes flying out?
    • Can I still have a VBAC if I had a big baby and didn't dilate in my first birth? Is it possible that my body doesn't go into labor?
    • Does delayed cord clamping cause jaundice?
    • Is there anything that can be done to prevent tearing in a precipitous birth

    In the extended version, available on Apple subscriptions and Patreon, we further discuss:

    • Anxiety around the anticipation of your second birth;
    • current evidence on stillbirth rates after age 35 (all the data!); and
    • breastfeeding through pregnancy and into tandem nursing.

    Finally, in quickies, we touch on sushi in pregnancy, bleeding too much and cord clamping, when a baby can first have water, how to lower fasting blood sugars, and so much more plus...how Cynthia and Trisha met.

    Oh, and one more thing: Are you a folder or a squisher with your TP habits?
