The Milk Making Minutes Season 1 Episode 2: Breastfeeding on an Island (and not the tropical kind) with Kelly

On this week’s episode of The Milk Making Minutes I interview my friend Kelly who is a mom of two kids. She set breastfeeding goals for herself and met them by pushing through with little to no support. She went back to work when her first baby was just one month old, while not even fully healed from giving birth. She's an example of hard work and grit, and an example of a system needing to do better by all families birthing babies and caring for them in the early months. Yet, her story is ultimately a sweet one. One of figuring it out, one of having a grandmother who breastfed and mother who breastfed and ultimately a person who was able to feed two babies from her own body by just figuring it out.
