Have you ever struggled with a clogged milk duct? Maybe a nipple bleb? If you have, you know it can be painful and frustrating.  Or it could be even worse...It develops into mastitis. Ouch! As it turns out, most folks who breastfeed are going to have at least one clog, so better be prepared!

Join Heather and Maureen to find out what clogged ducts are all about. Why they happen, what can be done to treat them, and what research we have to guide the way.

11 Feb 2022Ep. 95- Fat Bodies Can Breastfeed: a radical self-love episode01:05:25

Have you ever experienced bias due to your body size?

Maybe it looked like a doctor commenting on your weight when you went in to the urgent care for a cough. Maybe it looked like your OB recommending an induction due to your BMI. Maybe it looked like a store not carrying your size or charging more if they do. Maybe it was when you were in school or even in your own home.

Bias against fat bodies, or fat phobia, is so deeply entrenched in our culture that it’s hard to count all the microaggressions fat people experience every day. How can we separate out this from our health status? The ability of our bodies to function and feed our babies? Join Heather and Maureen on a journey of self love and radical acceptance this week as they break down provider bias, fat phobia, healthcare disparities, ableism, BMI bull***t, and more!

01 Apr 2022Ep. 102- Cannabis and Breastfeeding01:07:49

Correction/Apology:
We have learned since the publication of this episode that use of the term ‘marjiuana’ in this country has its roots in racism and xenophobia. A lot of harm has been done to the Mexican American community and other minority communities with use of this word at the forefront of an ‘anti-drug’ movement meant to play off of anti-immigrant sentiments. We sincerely thank the listener who emailed in to tell us, and apologize for using the word without understanding. We are sorry for any harm that has caused.
Language is powerful and complicated, and we are always open to changing the way we use words in order to reduce harm. If you hear and episode and think, “that sounds wrong” please don’t hesitate to email us!

Have you ever wondered if it’s safe to smoke cannabis while lactating? Today your fearless cohosts tackle the big one: using cannabis while breastfeeding. In this episode, Heather and Maureen do an overview of what we know to date: risks, benefits, statistics, assumptions, bias, and more! Join them to think critically about the current recommendations put forth form experts and health organizations.

08 Apr 2022Ep. 103- Breast Storage Capacity00:43:29

29 Apr 2022Our Journey to the Milk Minute and each other!01:15:35

Our journey is the word this week! Real talk, sometimes we have so much to say about lactation that we don’t make time for ourselves. We don’t get to catch up or tell funny stories because we want to prioritize education!

This week we decided that we would kick back and chew the fat a little. We’re telling stories from our births, to the birth of the podcast! Join us for our origin stories: how we became us and us became the Milk Minute.

06 May 2022PPD/PPA Medications and Breastfeeding01:05:26

Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety: two things that affect more parents today than ever before (or maybe they're finally just talked about more).  Are you on the fence about medication for mental health?  This episode will hopefully shine some light on the hang-ups. 

We want to start off by saying that this is NOT a debate over whether you should or should not take medication while breastfeeding. Today we go over several medication options for PPD/PPA and share how they might affect your breastfeeding journey. As always, talk to your healthcare provider about getting the right meds to help you feel your best and ultimately be the best parent.

"Breastfeeding journeys, just like breast milk, isn't a one size fits all, but changes to meet your needs. I think we as new moms put too much pressure on ourselves that if it's not instantly what was pictured, we're failing. When in fact you just have to find the plan and tips and tricks that work for you."

21 Apr 2023Insufficient Glandular Tissue00:40:50

Have you ever received a diagnosis of Insufficient Glandular Tissue? Maybe it was suggested after you weren’t able to produce a full milk supply with your last baby. Or the term was tossed out casually when a provider looked at your breasts prenatally.

IGT can be a scary and confusing thing to hear, particularly when you have the goal of exclusive breastfeeding! Today on the Milk Minute Heather and Maureen chat about what IGT is and what it might mean for you.

How much milk can you actually make with IGT? What can you expect? Do you need to breastfeed differently if you suspect you have IGT?

Join the Milk Minute to get the answers to these questions and more today on any podcast platform.

Listener Question: I have a question about flange sizes: I had been using at 24mm flange and the people at the hospital told me that size was fine. Then I measured myself and was 17mm. I got 21mm inserts and now when I pump my nipples are tender. I'm due for replacement parts and am looking for advice about what to order.

16 Jun 2023Am I Making Skim Milk!? Human milk fat and infant weight gain00:59:28

Has anyone ever told you that you need to change your diet to make more fat in your milk? Maybe it was a pediatric provider suggesting that if you could only increase the fat content of your milk, your baby would gain weight properly. Or maybe you saw someone post a picture of a thicc fat plug on their pumped milk, promising that you could have one too if only you did X, Y, and Z!

Well today your podcast besties dig into the science of lipidology in human milk! What kind of fats we have in our milk, how our babies use them, and how it really affects infant weight gain. This one does have some good data and we hope it's reassuring for you!

Join Heather and Maureen for a feminist frolic to Spinster City as they interview Heather's single, childfree friend Abigail.

The gals talk building community and finding support from childfree friends in unexpected ways - especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding. 

This episode is a wild ride with your two favorite midwives & lactation ladies. Venturing into the socio-political sphere, Heather and Maureen kvetch about the patriarchy, 19th century Supreme Court decisions, and why everybody has to poop at Barnes & Noble. Listen to learn more about the benefits of keeping your spinster friends close and why everyone needs an Abigail in their lives.

11 Aug 2023Dairy Elimination and Breastfeeding01:00:02

Today on the Milk Minute Heather and Maureen tackle the hot topic of dairy allergies. Most of their patients who are dealing with this are on strict elimination diets and have persistent PTSD from symptoms in their infant. It can be incredibly frustrating and incredibly confusing. Not to mention the “cure” is really disruptive to our lives (aka- no cheese?) and the real test is reintroduction?!

Tune in as we try to break this down for you in simpler terms and hope that we can give you some peace of mind!

WE MADE IT TO TERM! Welcome to week 37!

Our episode today goes through a lot of feels. Heather digs deep into a lot of her fears around meeting her new baby and surviving the postpartum. We're embracing the reality that hope and fear can exist equally in the same body and we're trying to be ok with that.

Maureen walks us through routine prenatal cervical checks; why you might want them and why you might prefer to decline. What information can we get from the cervix anyway?  Your podcast midwife also walks us through some methods for encouraging labor at home and preparing your body for giving birth. Let's chat about food, hormones, teas, and more.
