#98: Are you a breastfeeding mom who is dreading the transition to solid foods? Like you JUST got this whole breastfeeding thing figured out and now it’s time to layer in having to feed your baby real food? If you’re nervous about making the switch from breastfeeding to baby-led weaning, do NOT worry: you can do both SUCCESSFULLY and Krystal Duhaney, RN, IBCLC from @milkymamallc is here to show you how! In this episode Krystal is breaking down some tips for transitioning to solid foods while also keeping your breastfeeding game STRONG. She’s talking about the “breast sandwich” to help protect your milk supply and why milk supply tends to drop when you start solid foods (but how you can fight to keep it up!) We’re also chatting about how to schedule your breastfeeding sessions once you start baby-led weaning. Things change in your breastfeeding journey when you are just starting to introduce food at 6 months, once your baby gets going with eating solid foods and then when you reach the one-year mark...and Krystal is going to help you succeed every step of the way! Listen to this episode to learn: The community & environmental benefits of extended breastfeeding BEYOND nutrition...how breastfeeding conveys health benefits for mom and baby even if you can only do it for a short amount of time (or if you want to keep going!) How to deal with decreasing breastmilk supply when you start solids….and why introducing solids before breastmilk at a feed can actually contribute to this problem. Her “breast sandwich” approach will help you succeed both at BLW while keeping your milk supply strong. When is it time to drop that first milk feed? And what if you want to keep breastfeeding after 1 year? Krystal is sharing tips about combining breastfeeding and baby-led weaning to help you succeed at every step along the way.
