Episode Who told you that? Let’s Talk About the Advice Moms Never Question (But Should)
New parents receive breastfeeding advice everywhere — from the hospital, family members, social media, and even well-meaning professionals. The problem? Much of that advice is given without anyone actually watching the baby feed.
In this episode, Nicki Davis, RN, BSN, IBCLC, breaks down some of the most common breastfeeding advice parents hear and explains why so many of these rules create more stress than solutions.
We talk about:
•
Why pumping more isn’t always the answer
•
The truth about babies “using you as a pacifier”
•
Why pain during breastfeeding should never be ignored
•
How weight checks without context can create unnecessary panic
•
Why triple feeding is often suggested far too quickly
Breastfeeding isn’t about rigid rules or watching the clock — it’s about understanding your baby, milk transfer, and feeding patterns.
If you’ve ever followed advice and thought, “Why does breastfeeding suddenly feel harder?” this episode will help you understand why — and what actually matters instead.
