ep 020: Inducing Lactation and the Path to Feeding as the Non-Gestational Parent
WITH: Paola Mitchell
“Don’t quit on a bad day. If things are hard, don’t give up just yet.”
Is it possible to breastfeed your baby if you didn't give birth? That's a question we've heard a lot and so we've invited a guest who has a beautiful story and answer to that question. Lisa had the pleasure of speaking with Paola Mitchell, all the way from Australia. Paola has a really special feeding story as both she and her wife Jess both breastfeed their baby boy. Lisa and Paola talk about both the challenges and joys of inducing lactation as the non-gestational parent. They talk through the medical process of inducing lactation, the challenges of pumping at work, and why Paola is so happy to have made this decision for her family.
