Submit your question and we’ll answer it in a future episode!“Honey, I am worried.  We were at the pediatrician today and our little guy didn’t gain as much weight as I thought he would have.”  “Really honey?  I am surprised.  I thought he was eating well, and he is certainly busy and doing everything a little guy his age should be.  What did the pediatrician say?”  “Well, we have to go back again in about a week to check his weight, but I am nervous that I will have to give formula.”  “Hmm, maybe we should listen to the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast this week.  The subject is weight gain.  I assumed that was a newborn, maybe they are talking about weight gain at any age for breastfed babies.  Let’s check it out – I bet they have suggestions that will help!” This week, Abby and Dianne are talking about weight gain with breastfed babies, and what to expect.  Often as babies get past the first few months, weight gain slows.  What should you do if this happens with your baby?  Listen this week and find out more! Thanks for all the reviews on iTunes!

Submit your question and we’ll answer it in a future episode!“Honey, the pediatrician suggested we can start solid foods with our little guy.  I am kind of excited!  This is all new stuff for us!” “Honey, that is so great!  Can we give him cookies?” “Honey, our little guy does not need cookies to be his first food.  But you do have a good point – the pediatrician didn’t really specify how I should start or what kinds of foods I should start with.  I don’t really even know how much I should give him!  Oh no!  This is becoming scary!” “Honey, don’t panic.  This must be a pretty common issue because Dianne and Abby just did an episode on this for the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast.  Why don’t you go listen and that will probably answer a lot of your questions!” By popular demand, Dianne and Abby have finally done an episode on starting solids!  You asked, and we delivered.  Check it out and feel free to share the episode with other mothers who may be missing out!  Thanks for all the reviews on iTunes!

Submit your question and we’ll answer it in a future episode!“Honey, I was talking about breastfeeding today with a co-worker when someone else we work with asked how long I planned to breastfeed.  He said that his wife breastfed and he was supportive of breastfeeding, but that he didn’t see the value after six months and asked how YOU felt about it and if YOU support continued breastfeeding past 6 months.”“Honey, that’s so strange!  I have never even considered that breastfeeding doesn’t have value after a certain date.” “Me either.  I can’t even describe how that conversation made me feel.  Kind of like society was trying to control my choices.  It’s implied that partners should not support breastfeeding long term, and the only reason I can think of is sexual.  That’s not ok.” This week Dianne and Abby talk about how things may be said or implied to control your breastfeeding relationship with your baby.  Maybe you don’t even realize that this is what’s happening!  After you listen to this week’s podcast, you might realize that this has been happening all along! Thanks for all the reviews on iTunes!
