Jacqueline Kincer, IBCLC shares her personal journey of breastfeeding her second child (and it's not what you think!)

In this episode, Jacqueline opens up and shares a very personal experience with her listeners. It's an episode where she vulnerably shares her experience and journey of breastfeeding her second child. Jacqueline shares her memories and perspective as a mother, and as an IBCLC. If you've ever struggled with breastfeeding and the mental/emotional aspects of it, this episode should deeply resonate with you.

In this episode, Jacqueline Kincer, IBCLC goes into the reasons why oversupply of breastmilk is actually a problem, and not a good thing. Many moms seem to feel inadequate if they aren't able to pump bottles FULL of milk. This perception is undermining mothers and sabotaging breastfeeding.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• What oversupply is and is not
• Why oversupply happens
• Real strategies to fix oversupply

Instead of doing a guest interview on this important topic, I'm speaking directly to you in today's episode. If you're like most new moms, you've likely realized how under-prepared you were to take on new motherhood. Add breastfeeding challenges to the mix, and we might feel like we're doing this all wrong. I'm here to tell you that motherhood is sometimes traumatic. If it's been traumatizing for you, you aren't alone, nothing is wrong with you, and there is a way through it. Listen in as I share stories from my own journey and guide you to working through your own motherhood PTSD.
