Breastfeeding Matters by La Leche League GB22 Mai

'Babies can’t read clocks’ - in conversation with Special Guest Nancy Mohrbacher

Sarah and Maria are honoured to be joined by NancyMohrbacher, an LLL Leader, IBCLC, FILCA.

Nancy fell in love with breastfeeding while nursing her three sons. She began working as a volunteer peer supporter in 1982 and became board-certified as a lactation consultant in 1991.

Nancy’s mission is to simplify life for new families—many ofwhom, without realising it, make breastfeeding more complicated than it needs to be.

She grew a private practice in Chicago, worked for a majorbreast-pump company, and contributed to a national corporate lactation program.

Nancy speaks at events around the world and supportsbreastfeeding education both online and in hospitals. She has also written a range of books and resources, many of which are popular in our local groups’ libraries.

In 2008, the International Lactation Consultant Associationofficially recognized Nancy’s contributions to the field of lactation by awarding her the designation FILCA (Fellow of the International Lactation Consultant Association).

In this episode we get an insight into Nancy’s best tips andtricks on breastfeeding positions, explore the wide range of normal when it comes to frequency of feeds and discuss pumping as a tool used alongside or instead of breastfeeding.

A holistic model of support offered by LLL is discussed andthe listeners are encouraged to reach out to LLLGB if breastfeeding support and information is needed.

LLLGB is a charity that offers mother to mother and parentto parent support for breastfeeding and chestfeeding. The charity was founded by seven mothers in 1956 and since then has accumulated a wealth of knowledge that is now supported by the latest scientific evidence and research.
