Ep. 370: 9 pieces of Bad Breastfeeding Advice that are Wrecking Your Breastfeeding Relationship

In this spicy World Breastfeeding Week episode of The Birth Lounge podcast, HeHe is calling out the BS that’s messing with your breastfeeding journey. From the "feed every three hours" myth to the outdated fear around nursing your baby to sleep, we’re busting it all wide open.

HeHe breaks down 9 of the most common (and flat-out harmful) pieces of advice that new parents are being fed — and shows you exactly how to ditch the bad info and trust your baby, your body, and your instincts instead. We’re talking evidence-based truth bombs, real-time solutions, and the exact shifts that can make breastfeeding feel less like a struggle and more like second nature.

You’ll also get access to HeHe’s free class on how to avoid a c-section, because spoiler alert: how you feed your baby matters, but how you're supported while doing it matters even more.

This episode is for every new or expecting parent who’s feeling overwhelmed, confused, or just plain tired of hearing 15 different opinions on the same thing. If you're ready to quiet the noise and feel confident in your breastfeeding journey — you're in the right place.
