Manage episode 361807630 series 3365992
Maureen Farrell is a lactation counselor, doula, herbalist, and homebirth midwife practicing in rural West Virginia. She passionately works to improve pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences for families through education and holistic care. That same motivation drove her to co-found the Milk Minute Podcast in 2020, which provides evidence-based and entertaining breastfeeding information.
In our conversation today we discussed why lactation happens even following a loss, how to cease it, and what is normal and not normal during the process. We also talk about the option of becoming a breastmilk donor as a means of healing and dealing with grief.
