My guest is Adrian Fear, IBCLC, owner of Huron River Lactation and mom of 5. Her breastfeeding journey started out with round the clock finger feeding(!) that eventually led to successful breastfeeding. And coming full circle she now helps other new moms in the metro Detroit area navigate breastfeeding challenges and set them on a path to meet their breastfeeding goals. If you'd like to see our conversation, and all of the goodies Adrian pulls out of her Mary Poppins bag, head to YouTube to view the video version of the conversation.
We cover a LOT of ground, including:
- Finger feeding
- How to fit a pump flange
- Weighted feeds
- Lactation Consultant services
- Adrian's running streak, which was NOT broken when she birthed her fifth baby at home (you read that correctly!)
- Establishing milk supply
- Supplementation
- Oversupply
- Pumping
