024 Adoptive Breastfeeding Choices with Courtney Eckelberry

We have interviewed several adoptive mothers on the podcast, but Courtney is the first to have actually produced a surplus of milk.  Whereas most mothers who induce lactation need to supplement their milk production, Courtney was able to donate 3000 ounces of the milk she produced by inducing lactation to anther adoptive mom!  Breastfeeding has been such a positive and healing experience for Courtney that she is spreading information and support for adoptive breastfeeding through her new website.  You'll hear more about Courtney's personal experience and her brand new website in this episode.

Om Podcasten

We are proud to present a series of podcasts for parents Breastfeeding Outside the Box, where we aim to support the nourishing and nurturing of babies in exceptional families - families who historically have not received the help and support they need and deserve. Our exceptional families include adoptive, intended, and foster families; gender and sexual minorities; families with special needs babies; parents who have had breast surgery; mothers with IGT or low milk production for other reasons; exclusively pumping mothers; and more.
