Show Notes
EP404. In this episode, Dr. Christie & Lynnette share their personal and professional experiences with feeding babies. They tell us a little bit about the history of breastfeeding and the evolutionary rationale for supplementation, they break down breastfeeding myths like "colostrum only in the first days of a newborns life is adequate", and they explain why parents are not currently being fully informed when it comes to exclusive breastfeeding. Dr. Christie del Castillo-Hegyi is a board-certified emergency physician and studies newborn brain injury and developmental disabilities caused by insufficient feeding and Lynnette Hafken is a hospital and private practice lactation consultant, former La Leche League Leader, and advocate for family-centered lactation and infant feeding support. Dr. Christie & Lynnette are co-authors of the new book, Fed Is Best: The Unintended Harms of the “Breast Is Best” Message and How to Find the Right Approach for You and Your Baby.
