365 - Lactation Consultant: How the Dairy You Eat Affects Your Breastfed Baby
For as long as humanity has existed, mothers have nourished their young. Breastfeeding is natural, but are mothers being given the knowledge, support, and freedom to trust their bodies? Commercial interests, cultural misconceptions, and decades of misinformation have shaped how we feed our babies, often obscuring what nature got right in the first place. Joining us to challenge the prevailing narrative is Alicia C. Simpson, registered dietitian, international board-certified lactation consultant, founder and executive director of Pea Pod Nutrition and Lactation Support, and author of Boost Your Breastmilk: An All In One Guide for Nursing Mothers to Build a Healthy Milk Supply. Tune in as Alicia cuts through the cacophony to bring the science, the biology, and the mother's experience back into focus.
What we discuss:
The influence of infant formula companies on new mothers and how the food industry shapes infant-feeding practices and perceptions.
The history of infant formula and how it came to be viewed as a necessity.
Why milk is species-specific.
The biggest misconceptions about breastfeeding.
The role a mother's nutrition plays in breast milk production and composition.
Whole cow's milk consumption in children and its potential health consequences.
The importance of early food introductions and how a child's first experiences with food can shape their expectations and preferences.
Why children need nutritionally complete, balanced meals and what that looks like in practice.
