S3: Ep 16 "Every Drop Counts" The Nuanced World of Breastfeeding with Camie Jae Goldhammer, MSW, LISCW, IBCLC
Manage episode 399986005 series 2793015
Amy Stiffarm joins Claire for another conversation with Camie Goldhammer, who also happens to be one of our most celebrated #sheros at HMHB. This time, we focus on the topic of feeding choices and how important it is for families to be able to make informed decisions when it comes to feeding their babies. Which means they need adequate information and it shouldn't be all on them to find it.
Camie shares what it was like for her to learn to navigate the world of breastfeeding as an Indigenous woman with almost no knowledge on how things were supposed to go. When even a Google search left her with no where to turn, she did what she does best; created an organization that would grow to care for moms and families just like her. We also have the chance to talk about legislative action in Washington state around paid family leave and other maternal health advocacy efforts. Camie is an amazing teacher and her strength-based perspective is so refreshing.
