This week’s guest is Dr. Andrea Wadley. She is board certified in both pediatrics AND breastfeeding medicine. In fact she’s one of only 100 physicians in the country who is board certified in breastfeeding medicine. With all of the unreliable information out there, it’s so important to seek out authorities like her.

It would be great if your doctor was an expert in breastfeeding but the fact is, whether it’s your OB/GYN or pediatrician, that’s rarely the case. That’s where you’re going to have to take some initiative. Educate yourself, seek out a lactation consultant, and of course listen to this episode with Dr. Wadley! Even if you can’t visit her in person, you can find all kinds of resources and ways to connect with her through the links below!

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

What makes Dr. Wadley’s model of care unique
Which factors can affect milk production
What to expect with breastfeeding in the first 24 hours
What is colostrum and how much is normal to produce
When to consider using formula
What the average timeline is for milk coming in
Why having a proper latch is crucial
