Episode 77 When Baby Feeding (And Parenting) is Not Linear with Deb of Yoga Birth Babies Podcast
Have you ever had the experience of thinking everything was going well in the postpartum period, and then suddenly, it wasn’t? Did you think the postpartum period would be a straight line to better breastfeeding, better sleep, understanding parenting more and discover that it’s definitely more of a wiggly line? My guest Deb Flashenberg, owner of The Prenatal Yoga Center and host of the Yoga Birth Babies Podcast shares her postpartum experiences after having been a doula and prenatal yoga instructor for 10 years before it was her turn. Imagine the pressure!
In this episode she discusses:
Finding the right support
Calling in professional help
Pumping at work even when you don’t like it
Not getting the latch right three weeks into breastfeeding
Pelvic floor therapy
Pumping during Jury Duty
Finding friends during New Mom Support Groups
The Importance of getting out of the house
